3rd Grade Families

A MESSAGE FROM PTO:

Our annual holiday shop will take place on December 11th, 12th, and 13th.

If you are interested in volunteering to set up, help students shop, or wrap gifts, please

Also, this year, we would like to make sure that EVERY SINGLE RIFFENBURGH STUDENT has an opportunity to shop for gifts for someone special in their life: parents, guardians, grandparents, friends, teachers...

Based on past years, we estimate that up to 200 students do not bring money to buy a gift. For each student who does not bring money, our goal is to give each of them a $5 voucher so that they can purchase a gift (or gifts)!

If you are interested in helping by sponsoring a student (or multiple students) for $5 each, you can submit money via Venmo by searching for "Riffenburgh Parent Teacher Organization" or @RiffenburghPTO.

All donations are tax-deductible. If you would like a donation receipt, please email RiffenburghPTO@gmail.com.

We greatly appreciate your support as we hope to make the holiday season special for all Riffenburgh students.

Winter Weather Dressing

With the start of wintery and wet weather, please send your student(s) to school dressed warmly (winter coats, hats, gloves and boots ) and with a change of clothes in their backpack. This will help keep them dry and comfortable throughout the school day in case they get wet while outdoors.

Reporting Absences Thru ParentVUE

Why Use ParentVUE for Absences

If a student is not attending school for the day or series of days, the parent has the ability to document this absence in ParentVUE instead of making a call and leaving a voicemail for the attendance clerk.

How to Enter an Absence

  • Log in to ParentVUE
  • Click on "Report Absences" (listed on the left side panel)
  • Mark either 'E for Excused" or "EI for Excused Illness'. You can submit the attendance for a signledate or a range of dates by clicking on each day. (Future absences are not visible in PVUE until the date of the absence.)
  • Please leave a comment in the notes section, explaining the absence.
  • Click Save

Please let the Attendance Office know about ALL absences even if you have alerted the Classroom Teacher.
