School Supplies
Parents need to provide a clean pair of running shoes that students can keep in their classroom, a lunch (if the student stays for lunch), water bottle and a snack. There is no supply list for Riverbend School. Supplies will be provided to students through parent-paid fees (see section below, "Fees and Waivers"). A backpack is recommended for personal belongings that is large enough to fit a picture book inside.

Yearbooks will be for sale later in the school year. This is an optional purchase for families.

Keep updated on field-trips and other exciting off-site activities throughout the year. We're excited to expand on learning opportunities by stepping outside of the classroom.
