| Dear Friends:
The faculty and staff of River Road
Elementary want to welcome all parents and students to our school. We believe
that "children come first" and plan our programs and activities with that
belief in mind. We have high expectations for student performance and feel
that our students are exceptional. Classes are offered from Pre-Kindergarten
through 5th grade. In addition we have extracurricular clubs and organizations
which students in grades 3-5 are encouraged to join. We are very proud
of our school. Anyone interested is invited to visit us anytime.
Sincerely,
