Please join us for the 5th Grade Promotion Ceremony on Wednesday June 13, 2018 at 2:00 p.m. in the River Oaks multi purpose room.
*****Reminders*****
Please arrive before the start time, as the celebration will begin promptly at 2:00 PM.
Please encourage your child to “dress for success” on promotion day!!! They will come to school dressed for the ceremony and will NOT have an opportunity to change clothes. The teachers will allow them to freshen up before the ceremony.
NO BALLOONS MAY ENTER THE SCHOOL!!!
These cause distractions and hazards. We appreciate your cooperation with this.
Please remain in your seats the WHOLE time during the ceremony, as you will have plenty of opportunities to take pictures after the ceremony.
Thank you parents for your constant support over the years in River Oaks Elementary School. Wishing each of them success as they continue on their educational journey!
Recommended Summer Book List for Incoming 6th Graders
All students attending Bryant Middle School must read 3-5 books over the course of the summer. Then, they must select one of the books to present to the class as a Book Talk upon returning to school in the Fall. (Details about the assignment will be shared by your Language Arts teacher in the Fall). Here are some recommendations but you are encouraged to use your lexile level from the Spring Reading NWEA to choose a high interest book of your choice that will challenge your reading ability.
