As we enter our final week before Spring break, we are excited to invite you in for Student-Led Conferences on Thursday evening and the Riverbend Art Show!
The conference booking system is now open and available to book through your MyCBE account. Please contact the office after 8:30 a.m. if you are having difficulty booking. Our Art Show will be open Monday-Wednesday after school, 2:30-3:15 and during conferences on Thursday, 3:15-7:15. Please note that the art show is not open right after school on Thursday, so teachers are able to take a short break prior to conferences.
Our students look forward to sharing their learning with you!

Updates and Information:
World Down Syndrome Day
World Down Syndrome Day is recognized around the world each year on March 21 to celebrate people with Down syndrome and promote inclusion and acceptance. We will recognize World Down Syndrome Day on March 19th by encouraging students and staff to wear mismatched or brightly colored socks. This simple act helps spark conversations about diversity and reminds us that our differences are something to celebrate.
Volunteers Required – Swimming Lessons
Our grade 1-4 students will be taking swim lessons in April, and we always require volunteers to assist. If you do not have current security clearance in place, please consider applying now as it does take a few weeks to process. This can be done via your MyCBE account.
