Our Riverview Child &Youth Team has
created a PowerPoint for parents and guardians on the importance of promoting
healthy screen time. The link is below. If screen time is a challenge in your
home like it is in many of our homes, you may find this PowerPoint very
beneficial.
Promoting
Health Screen Time
On Monday, we had an excellent presentation
by Atlantic Wellness on Social Media, as well as a virtual visit from Nana
Margie the Therapeutic Clown at the IWK Children’s Hospital in Halifax. We
encourage our families and RMS students to engage in conversations at home this
week around our guest speakers.
As always, Thank-You for your continued
support and active involvement in our children's education while at Riverview

Have a great day,

Dear RMS Families,
February 8 – 12 is Teacher
and Staff Appreciation Week and we are ready to celebrate at RMS!
The Parent School Support
Committee (PSSC) would like to take this opportunity to extend our thanks to
the wonderful staff of Riverview Middle School for their incredible efforts
over the last number of months. The 2020-2021 school year has been like no other
and now more than ever, we say THANK YOU!
To celebrate Teacher and
Staff Appreciation Week, we are asking students and families to consider
sending a note of thanks to the school staff. Individual notes for specific
recipients or a card for the entire staff, sign your name or keep it anonymous.
It is often the small,
genuine things that make the most difference and we are asking if you would
consider helping us share gratitude and thanks to the RMS staff community.
Teachers, educational assistants, administrative staff & custodians –
everyone’s work makes a difference!
Thank you to RMS families
for sending in some appreciation notes with students this week. Let’s make it
extra special for our mask-wearing, sanitization supervising, and color level
adapting RMS staff!
With thanks,
RMS PSSC members
