Riverdale Elementary School Back to School Conferences
Parents and families,
We are hoping to reschedule our back to school conference for you and your child. The new schedule is attached and staff will re-share the amended sign-up sheet on August 26th. In the event, we must cancel the conferences again we will host a virtual class meeting for all grades.
The goal of these conferences is to allow students and families to meet their classroom teacher, drop off school supplies, and to give families a chance to ask any questions regarding the upcoming school year. Due to the unique schedules and plans for the fall, we believe it is imperative to provide opportunities for our families to have their questions answered.
