Family Valentine’s Dance

Our Family Valentine’s Dance is coming up in just 2 weeks! Families of K-5th grade students are invited to come out and enjoy a night of dancing and good family fun. You can dress up or wear one of your favorite outfits. We’ll have a photo booth and sweet treats. Tickets are only $5 for a family of 4 or less. Additional family members may purchase tickets for $2. You may purchase tickets in the office on or before February 14. This is a family event. Students must have an adult present. Students cannot be dropped off and picked up after the event.

Free Dress Friday

Tomorrow is Free Dress Friday! For $2 your child can wear what they choose as long as it follows district and campus dress code guidelines.

Exciting News

Riverchase will be the home of one of the district’s Signature Programs next school year… Spark – STEM Academy at Riverchase Elementary. We are very excited about this opportunity to engage our students in collaborative and project-based learning that will encourage curiosity, communication, and critical thinking through science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.

In addition to the STEM Academy for K-5th grade students, we will also offer full day Pre-K with an option to pay if your child doesn’t meet federal guidelines for admission. More information will be shared as it becomes available.

Jump Rope for Heart

Students at Riverchase kicked off their Jump Rope for Heart fundraising campaign last week. Our goal this year is to raise $3000. If we reach our campus goal, the top 5 fundraisers will dump a healthy breakfast on Coach Jackson! The fundraiser ends on February 16. We will culminate our fundraiser with healthy heart activities during Specials rotations on the 16th. All students are asked to wear red that day to bring awareness to heart health. Contact Coach Jackson at jacksonpb@cfbisd.edu for more information.

Progress Reports

Progress Reports for the 3rd Nine Weeks will go home on February 14. Students are encouraged to wear college t-shirts with their uniform bottoms.

Please review your child’s progress and help them to identify their strengths and areas for growth. This is a great time for you to help them set goals for the remainder of the nine weeks. Email your child’s teacher if you have questions or if you would like to schedule a conference to discuss ways you can help your child at home.
