If your student is a car rider, and you need to drop off items for their Christmas Party you can do this when you drop your student off in car rider on Wednesday or Thursday. If you can have your student's name and teacher on the items that would be great. If not, we will have sticky notes available for the staff in the car rider lane to place on your items prior to placing them on the cart. Thank you for your help and we hope you have a great holiday break. Just a quick reminder that school will resume on Monday, January 5, 2026.
Sincerely,
New River Primary Staff

Dear Staff,
Yesterday was a snow day and I ask that you complete your SafeSchools. However I still have 16 employees who have not fully completed SafeSchools. Please complete this before Monday as we will be addressing this individual on Monday if not completed. Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.
Sincerely,
Lee R. Jones
Dear New River Primary staff, since today is a snow day and technically you are getting paid. If you have not completed your safe school training, please do so by the end of the day today. Mrs. Bishop sent out 28 reminders on Wednesday as to those who need to complete Safe Schools training. If you are not sure simply log in and check your status. Thank you for your attention to this request.
Sincerely,
