Dear Parents,

The Fulton County Board of Health and Fulton County Schools have developed an on-line portal for FCS parents/guardians to report student COVID-19 related cases.  Please make a report to the FCBOH when your student is COVID-19 positive, has a pending COVID-19 test result, or has been in direct contact with a COVID-19 positive person.   Also, please use this resource for official reporting rather than alerting the school and/or teacher.  If you must engage the school/teacher, please do so after you have made an official report to the FCBOH.  Lastly, to ensure the protection of our school community, please do not allow your child to attend school or school-sponsored events when he/she is ill and/or has any of the above COVID-19 concerns.  Please reference the attached flyer and consider posting it in a visible location in your home for easy access.

Thank you and please stay safe.

Please note that “Important Resources” are listed on the upper right-hand side of the webpage. 

The Governor’s Office of Student Achievement (GOSA) has posted the 2019 list of Single Statewide Accountability System (SSAS) awards.  Awards are given to schools with high academic performance and/or high academic growth, based on performance on the College and Career Readiness Performance Index (CCRPI) over a three year period.  River Eves has received “bronze level recognition” for a three year CCRPI “Progress” (growth) score average of 93 or 94.  River Eves was only one of 13 Fulton County elementary, middle & high schools combined to receive any level of recognition in this measurement area.  This is quite an accomplishment and directly speaks to one of our school-wide “hold tights” of emphasizing the importance of student and staff growth outcomes.  Thank you to our students for consistently exhibiting high growth and development, our teachers for “knocking it out of the park” with your instructional practices, our support staff for being on the same page every step of the way, our parents for your continued support/collaboration and work with your children at home, and our at-large community for standing behind us every step of the way.  We are River Eves!  #RisEupEagleS

2019 CCRPI Parent Letter

River Eves Elementary CCRPI

We invite you to visit the website donorschoose.org and search "River Eves Elementary" to view a variety of classroom fundraising projects that have been posted by our staff members.  Monetary donations of any amount are greatly appreciated as it benefits our students and teaching staff.  No amount is too small; every little bit helps!  Thank you for your continued support of our amazing school!  We are River Eves!  #RisEupEagleS

Our values have become more solidified and have taken shape in our daily “speak” and actions.  We have come to realize and embrace that our “hold tights” are and will continue to be: 

·       Focusing on providing all students with a learning environment that has quality instructional practices at its core.

·       Emphasizing student and staff growth measures from academic and social/emotional standpoints.

·       Establishing and developing positive working relationships with students, families and our colleagues. 

We are River Eves!
