Dear Riverglen Families,

We just started our second week of school! It was great to see all of the new seventh graders and the returning eighth and ninth graders.

Cross Country and Softball start this week, and Back to School Night is on Thursday.

Please read to the end for the dates and times of upcoming school events.

As always, if there is anything we can do to support your child and/or family, please don't hesitate to contact me.

Sincerely,

Ms. Billingsley

Back-to-School Night

Thursday, August 20th from 6:00 - 7:30

Back-to-School Night is a great opportunity to meet your student's teachers and get more information about their classes.

Parents and guardians will move through their student's schedule. Each "class" will last 7 minutes with a 3-minute passing period (Back-to-School Night Schedule).

Please bring a hard copy of your student's schedule, or have Infinite Campus ready on your cell phone. You can also bring your student to Back-to-School Night.
