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, Lee R. Jones Principal

Hello Panther families! I have two messages

First if you have candy bars, please return them by 9:00 AM tomorrow Wednesday, November 19, 2025, as we need to close out this fundraiser. Second, our school is holding a Food Drive this week. Please consider sending in non-perishable items like canned goods, pasta, rice, or cereal. Donations can be sent with your child to be turned in to their teacher. Thank you for supporting our community and helping teach our students the importance of caring for others.

Thank you for your support!
