Parents
We know you have entrusted us with your most valuable asset, and we do not take that responsibility lightly. We hope to challenge each student daily and to share in the success each has as they move toward reaching their potential. This mission takes a strong level of trust and support from everyone involved. Please share your concerns and successes as we work together at making this year at River Birch Elementary a huge success for all our students, parents, and teachers.
