Hello to the week Little River School Community!

Teachers have shared dates for their upcoming

curriculum nights. Please note and come see what

your child will learn this year. Check our school

calendar for days and times for your child’s program.

Thank you for those of you who attended Curriculum

Night for second and third grade last week.

The School Improvement-Leadership Team will

meet at 5pm tomorrow. The PTO will meet at 6pm.

All are welcome to attend!

Also, we will sponsor a Back-to-School Dance next

This week third graders will take the Beginning of

Third Grade Reading test as a part of Read to Achieve.

To ensure that every student reads at or above grade

level by the end of third grade and continue to progress

in rigorous reading proficiency, the NC General Assembly

enacted in 2012 the READ to ACHIEVE--or RtA-- law.

The law requires that kindergarten, first, second and

third grade students take baseline and benchmark tests

to keep tabs on their progress leading up to through the

third grade EOG.

Congratulations to our Little River students who made the

Lucas fall athletic teams. We look forward to a great season

for the Leopards!

For those families that use our car rider lane, please be sure

you have updated your number tag for this school year.

Last year’s numbers are no longer valid.

Have a great week of school! And remember to walk the

river way every day in Beaver Nation: to learn respect and

shine!

Hello to the week Little River School Community!

I hope that it has been a great first week of school.

By this time you have had an opportunity to meet

your child’s teachers, talk with child about his/her

school day, and learned the best way to contact

your child’s teacher. Grade levels will be hosting

curriculum nights in the upcoming weeks of September.

Watch our school website for days and times for each

grade level. You’ve had the opportunity to meet and

greet your child’s teacher at Open House, Curriculum

Night is the chance to learn the academic program

that your child will engage.

This Wednesday, the State of North Carolina will

release our school’s performance data for last school

year. If you would like additional information about

these scores, and what they mean, I will share at our

upcoming School Improvement and PTO meetings on

September 10th.

Durham County Library and Durham Public Schools

are very excited to announce the October 1st launch

of the Bull City, NC Schools & Libraries Achieving

More (SLAM) initiative. This project provides all

students in the Durham Public Schools with access

to Durham County Library resources through use of

their student ID (PowerSchool ID number) to access

the Durham County Library electronic and print materials.  

Look for information in students’ backpack this Friday!

Have a great holiday and week of school! And

Hello to the week Little River School Community!

Welcome to the new school year! Thanks to

everyone who came out to Open House last week.

We hope you found your meeting with your child’s

teacher and classroom informative and your

household is set for a great first week of school!

Meeting your child’s teacher and learning about

the classroom is a great way to help support your

child in his or her learning. Now is the time to work

to transition from summer schedule to school day

habits that will get your child off to the best start:

Meet your child’s teacher and ask how you can

best support the learning program for your child;

Join the PTO; Develop a routine around school:

bedtimes, check notebook and backpack everyday,

set up a homework area at home;Talk about the

day with your child as much as you can: ask about

lunch, recess, feelings about teachers and classmates,

and ask about what new was learned; We are

looking forward to a great school year, as I’m

sure you are as well.

Plan to attend the curriculum night for your child(ren)’s

grade level, wherein you will learn more about

the academic program your child will engage.

The Little River School student-family handbook

is available on this website for your review.
