SCHOOL ASSESSMENT REVIEW TEAM (S.A.R.T. COMMITTEE)

The district program is designed to provide an ongoing system of evaluation of district programs. Parents and staff work together to analyze programs both at the district and school levels. All RiverView Elementary parents are invited to become active participants in the RiverView Elementary SART Committee. The RiverView Elementary SART Committee will convene on the second Wednesday of each month at 6:30 P.M. in the RiverView Elementary Library Media Center.

Each meeting consists of a thematic presentation regarding curricular and/or co-curricular programs at RiverView Elementary Intermediate School, a principal's report and a forum for parents' questions and concerns.

The RiverView Elementary SART Committee provides a parent representative who attends area and district SART meetings and reports back information to the school site committee.

RiverView Elementary PARENT/TEACHER CLUB (P.T.C.)
The RiverView Elementary Parent/Teacher Club is an organization open to all parents. Every parent is encouraged to join and support the school and its functions. It is a proven fact that students of involved parents are more successful in school! A close feeling of partnership prevails between the school and the families it serves which relates directly to the enthusiasm and accomplishments of the RiverView Elementary children.

The Parent/Teacher Club, with its many activities, is an integral part of the total school program. The money earned from the fund-raisers enable the Parent/Teacher Club to purchase needed items or services that are beyond what the district is able to normally provide. We encourage parent volunteers to take an active role. Some of the activities parents can be involved in include:

The Parent/Teacher Club Board meets on the first Tuesday of each month in the school library at 6:30 p.m. Everyone is invited and encouraged to attend! If you wish to be included on the agenda call the President one week in advance. Contact Linda Miranda (439-0282)

Joining the RiverView Elementary Parent Teacher Club is just one of the ways to become involved in your child's school years. We celebrate the many talents and experiences you can share and encourage you to get involved. Your time is precious and we offer volunteer opportunities from special one time events to regular weekly commitments. Our PTC raises money, as well as donations of time and materials for the special needs of our school not covered by regular funding. If you can help out or would like to get involved please contact Linda Miranda or attend one of our regular monthly meetings.
