AS A LEARNING COMMUNITY, RIVERSTONE PUBLIC SCHOOL IS DEDICATED TO SUPPORTING AND HONOURING ALL STUDENTS ON THEIR INDIVIDUAL JOURNEYS OF BECOMING ENGAGED CITIZENS
Riverstone is a K to 8 school that emphasizes academic success for all students while providing a wide range of learning experiences. All children can learn, but all do so in different ways and at different rates. At Riverstone Public School it is our goal to provide all students with the support they need to learn to their full potential. Our school community, as well as our teachers, continue to communicate high satisfaction with the quality of education provided at Riverstone. We prioritize quality learning opportunities that increase student achievement.
Riverstone teachers have a professional learning day each month with time for collaboration related to sustaining and enriching optimum learning for their students. We connect this time and focus to the confidence teachers have in their ability to effectively teach students with unique learning needs. School Improvement collaborative time continues to target increasing student achievement through intentional work in their responsive lesson planning and assessment to meet the diverse learning needs in their classrooms. Teachers continue to adjust their guiding questions and differentiation strategies to optimize student learning using student evidence to guide their instructional approach.
Riverstone is committed to a welcoming, caring, respectful, and safe learning environment that respects diversity and fosters a sense of belonging. Riverstone has supported this environment through social emotional instruction, school celebrations and a variety of student recognitions.
Focusing on staff wellness is an additional strategy to support increased connections with our students. The continuation of our Staff Wellness Committee has resulted in a variety of monthly health challenges for staff to boost their morale, interconnection, and ability to support the wellness of their students.
