White River News
Welcome to White River Elementary, where Eagles SOAR!
We are off to a great start at White River Elementary! I am thrilled to have joined such an excellent school community. Everything that I have observed and learned in my first few moths as principal of White River has shown me that this school is committed to its mission:
"White River Elementary is committed to creating a safe learning environment, developing lifelong learners, fostering well-rounded citizens, and meeting the diverse educational needs of our students in the 21st Century."
White River has a new model for school-wide procedures. Teachers have spent time teaching students how to SOAR. SOAR stands for the four major behavior expectations at White River: S=Safety, O=Organization, A=Act Responsibly, and R=Respect. Now that our students have learned these expectations, teachers will be recognizing students for following these procedures. Be sure to celebrate with your child when they tell you they earned a SOAR ticket!
Parents are a vital part of the White River team. We welcome and encourage parents to become an active part of our learning environment. Volunteer opportunities are numerous at White River Elementary - in classrooms, in the media center, for PTO events, for field trips and many more. Watch our school and classroom newsletters for information on upcoming volunteer opportunities!
Our school newsletter is delivered electronically every other Friday to every family with an email address on file in the school office. To view the current edition or past editions of the bi-weekly White River newsletter, please select the "News" tab near the top of this page.
White River Elementary is anticipating an outstanding year! Thank you for joining us in our commitment to success!
