Community Support at RMS
This week, we received two
new additions to our school:
- Our
long-awaited bike racks have arrived. They are located on the front bus
pad. We encourage all students to walk or bike to school if they can.
Thank-You to the Town of Riverview, last year we reached out to the
Town of Riverview regarding the need for bike racks. The Town of
Riverview made a donation to the school to help cover part of the
cost for the much-needed bike racks.
- Thank-You to the Rotary Club of Moncton
for the installation of the Little Free Library®. This past week a Little
Free Library was installed on the front step of RMS, at the Devere Road
entrance. The Riverview Community, our students, staff, and families are
encouraged to visit the Library and “Take a Book, Return a Book”. The Rotary
Club of Moncton wants to improve access to books and increase literacy
awareness in our community. Each unit will have an official charter number issued
by the Little Free Library® organization and will be included on their
global list of libraries.

RMS Families,
Our first fundraiser of the school year will be launched on Oct 8th.
The RECIPES IN A JAR fundraiser will run from Oct. 8th to Oct. 23rd,
2020. This year, purchases will be made online only by
following the link below : riverviewmiddle.recipesinajar.ca/
The success of last year’s fundraiser and feedback about the recipes in a jar
products were so positive that we are excited to partner with the company
again. What we are most excited about, is that we have partnered
with a socially responsible fundraising company. For every jar sold, one meal
will be donated to the lunch program. Last year RMS was recognized for their
contribution of 1842 meals donated to local food banks. This is a great
initiative to help support RMS while also supporting our community
and local food banks.
Attached is the Flyer that you can share with family members or friends
to promote the school fundraiser. This is a no contact fundraiser and all orders
are to be placed online.

School Support Committee ensures that the parent voice is heard in setting
education priorities and planning for improvements in our school.

children in the school, with the goal of enhancing student learning. We have
many returning members, each year we look forward to welcoming new members to
our committee. If you are interested in becoming a member, please send an email
to Kim.marr@nbed.nb.ca stating your interest by Friday October 2nd,

Meet
the Staff
Each year we host a Meet the Staff night.
Unfortunately, for the 20-21 school year, due to Covid-19 regulations, we will
not be hosting an in person Meet the Staff night. We are currently working on a
virtual Meet the Staff video, with brief introductions of all our staff. This
will be emailed to you in the coming weeks.
Guidance
Referrals
In order to meet the diverse
needs of students, Individual and Group Counselling services will be provided
at RMS school: Group Counselling provides a safe and accepting environment to
learn and to practice new skills as well as to receive the support of others
while participating. Individual Counselling is a responsive service in which we
seek to meet the student's immediate needs and concerns. Parents can refer their child,
by simply clicking the link below. Please note: Students will be prioritized
according to need. The link can also be found on the school website.
RMS Guidance Referral Form
Illness
We want to ensure you are receiving consistent messaging regarding student
illness. Below is an excerpt from information that can be found on the GNB
Website in the Return to School Plan.
Those who have two or more symptoms of COVID-19 must stay home and contact
811 to determine whether COVID-19 testing is required. If COVID-19 testing is
required, individuals must follow Public Health advice for returning to school.
If testing is not required, they can return once fever (with no medications)
and other symptoms have been resolved for 24 hours or if they have been
directed to do so by a health care professional. If tested, Public Health will
inform the individual or parent (when a student is involved) when isolation may
be lifted.
Thank-You for your
continuous support and modelling of positivity and kindness with our students
and staff during these unprecedented times.
Please contact the
school should you have any questions.
Have a great evening,
K. Plume-Marr
