Riverview Charter School
WEEKLY NOTES & REMINDERS
Issue: # 3
August 24- 28, 2015
4th grade
Mr. Bridge's 4th Grade Class enjoyed a "discovering nature" scavenger hunt as a community building activity 
to kick off their school year.  
This Week...
MAP Testing starts this week
Homeroom teachers will notify parents 
in advance of testing dates
In an effort to minimize distractions for students who are testing, please be punctual in arriving to school. If you know your child is going to be absent or tardy on their testing dates (each child tests twice!), please notify your child's teacher immediately.  Homeroom teachers will share individual testing schedules for their classrooms with you in their weekly emails.  

Thank you in advance for your cooperation. 

Mandatory Cross Country Parent Meeting Athletic log stingray  
Tuesday 4:30 - 5:15 p.m. in the Art Room
We will hand out schedules, sign pertinent documents related to the cross country season, talk through any issues and answer questions. The complete cross country schedule (practices & meets) can be found on the school calendar, click here.
If you have any further questions you may contact Athletic Director Jon Strebe at [email protected] or by phone at 843-379-0123 ext. 244.

Uniform Free Friday
THIS FRIDAY
The last Friday of each month is 'Uniform-Free Friday' and students may pay $5 to dress out of uniform. The money raised on Uniform Free Friday will be in place of monies generated from traditional school-wide fundraisers such as wrapping paper sales, candy bar sales, etc.  

On Uniform-Free Friday, Riverview students may wear any color jeans , capris, shorts, skirts, or skorts. Clothing may not exceed one size larger or smaller than the child and length may not exceed 3 inches above the knee (formerly "fingertip length"). Tops must have sleeves and cover the chest and back. Bottoms must be tasteful and follow all uniform code criteria.  Check the school calendar for dates each month. 

Box Tops Collection 
Please send General Mills BOX TOPS in by this Friday 
Mark your child's grade level on each bag of box tops for a chance for the grade to wear denim on a t-shirt Tuesday or earn extra recess.  
The PTO earned over $1000 from the BoxTops program last school year!

Penn Center Labor Day Celebration
Wear your Riverview t-shirt for free admission to the York W. Bailey Museum at Penn Center on Labor Day! 
We are super excited to be partnering with the Penn Center in support of their annual Labor Day Celebration! Please plan to join us at Penn Center beginning at 11:00 a.m. on Monday, September 7th for a day of family fun!
