Dear North Country Families, Thank you to all of our 3rd-6th grade families that were able to attend the Dinner with a Loved One event last week! It was a wonderful evening! Don't forget we get out early on Mondays, so TK dismissal is at 11:25 am. and K-6th grade dismissal is at 1:25 p.m.
There is NO adult supervision prior to 7:35 a.m., so please do not drop your children off early as it is a safety concern.
We are in the final stages of modernization, so if you have any questions regarding our updates, please reach out to the front office at 916-338-6480. |

Dear 5th & 6th Grade Families,
Wilson C. Riles is excited to welcome this year's 6th grade class to Riles with an introductory field trip on March 28th.
They are also inviting 5th and 6th grade families to their open house April 3. They will meet with 5th and 6th grade families from 5:00-5:30 p.m. in the cafeteria for a short introduction to the campus, and then will have their open house after that meeting. Open house is a showcase in the quad for the classes, programs, and elective options as well as entertainment and food trucks. Please join them! |

However, if your child is unable to attend school for 5 or more days, you will need to contact the office one month prior to your planned departure. Teachers will be notified and an independent study contract will be signed in order for your child to not fall behind in their studies. |

Do you want to wish your child a Happy Birthday on the Marquee at school? Stop in the office, and for $5, your child's name will be displayed on the day of their birthday!!! |

The goal of North Country's House System is to strengthen our implementation of a supportive and engaging environment. Through the implementation of the House System there is constant encouragement for students to do their best. The positive attitudes of students toward one another and toward the school will continue to increase campus-wide.
Benefits of a House System to students: * Being a part of a smaller community helps students acclimate quickly to their school environment and experience an immediate sense of belonging. * Students have a set of true faculty/staff mentors.
* It allows students to have an opportunity to interact with students from all grade levels. It increases opportunities for student leadership. * It reinforces our campus expectations * It can be a source of positive peer-pressure and motivation that can have a positive effect in the classroom. At meetings & rallies, students will have opportunities to enjoy creative expression, physical activity, and social engagement. Music and chants are extensively used to support expression and engagement.
Studies show that schools with House systems have happier, more engaged students and have more school spirit than they did before a House system was implemented. |
