We Survived the First Day! 🍎✨
There is nothing quite like the first day of kindergarten, but Ms. Allen and Mrs. Farmer’s classes are officially officially jitter-free!
To help chase away those brand-new-school-year nerves, we started our morning by reading the wonderful book First Day Jitters by Julie Danneberg. After seeing how the main character felt (and realizing everyone gets a little nervous sometimes!), the kids mixed up a special batch of our very own Jitter Juice! 🥤✨
Judging by all the smiles, giggles, and high-energy fun we had today, the juice worked like magic!
Thank you to all our amazing families for sharing your little ones with us. We are already looking forward to an incredible school year ahead! 💛📚

🚸 For Our Pedestrians & Walkers:
Use Crosswalks: Always cross at designated crosswalks and obey crossing guards.
Heads Up, Phones Down: Stay alert, avoid distractions, and look both ways (left, right, and left again) before crossing.

Arrive Early: Be at the bus stop 5 minutes before your scheduled pickup time.
Safe Distance: Stand at least 10 feet (3 big steps) away from the curb while waiting.

🐬 Attention CRES Families! Welcome Back, Dolphins! 🐬
As we kick off a fantastic new school year, we want to share an important update regarding the new Distraction-Free Education Act.
🎯 Goal of the Law
This policy minimizes classroom interruptions to boost focus, support student well-being, and encourage face-to-face friendships during the school day. Personal electronic devices (cell phones, smartwatches, tablets) must be powered off/silenced and kept in backpacks from arrival to dismissal.
💬 How You Can Help
Please take a few minutes this week to sit down with your child and review our guidelines:
Review Expectations: Remind your Dolphin that devices need to stay turned off and tucked away inside their backpack during school hours.
Discuss Consequences: Explain that using a device during the day results in our standard school warning/confiscation steps.
Need to Reach Your Child? If you have an urgent message during the school day, please call our front office directly and we’ll be happy to assist!
Thank you for your partnership in keeping our school focused and engaging! Let’s make it a great year, CRES! 💙

🐬 1st Day of School: That’s a Wrap, CRES Dolphins! 🎒✨
What an incredible first day back at CRES! Our hallways were filled with bright smiles, excited chatter, and amazing Dolphin energy from the moment the first bell rang.
Our stars spent today mastering the ropes and getting back into the groove:
🍱 Cafeteria Routines: Practicing lunch line procedures, finding seats, and enjoying meals with friends.
🚶♂️ Walking in Lines: Perfecting our quiet, single-file Dolphin hallway walks.
🎨 Specials: Kicking off the year in AgArt, Spanish, PE, and Tech with big creativity and high energy.
🚌 Dismissal Success: A massive shoutout to our teachers, staff, and families for helping our car riders, bus riders, and walkers get home safely and smoothly!
We are so proud of how quickly our students learned our school rules and procedures today. Thank you, parents and guardians, for your support in making Day 1 such a success. Rest up tonight, Dolphins—we can't wait to see you back tomorrow for Day 2!
💙 Drop a photo or tell us your child’s favorite part of Day 1 in the comments below! 👇

Good Afternoon River Families,
We had a wonderful and successful Open House!
Thank you for coming.
We know you are excited for the first day of school.
In an effort to establish routines and ensure safety we need your help.
On the first day you are welcome to escort your child to their classroom.
After the first day, our typical drop off procedure is as follows:
• Car rider drop off is behind the school. Please pull all the way forward to avoid congestion in the line.
• Biker/walker students will come through the base gate. The gate is locked promptly at 8:30.
• Children cannot be dropped off in the front of the school building without an adult. If you are coming inside you will enter through the front office.
We look forward to a successful first day and year together!
Thank you,
The River Admin Team

🧱 Learning with tactile manipulatives
🏃 Movement games & active gross motor play
Watching their confidence grow each day was the best part. They are so ready to tackle Kindergarten! Thank you to all our families for a wonderful week. ❤️🎒
