Rivercrest Elementary

What a week! Our kindergarten classes went on a field trip to a wildlife ranch, and our first grade classes had a special visitor from a beekeeper! All of our kids and staff are working hard to make it through the final stretch of the school year!

Second grade took advantage of the beautiful weather and had their poetry lesson outside.

Parents, we are seeing an increase in students bringing toys, jewelry kits, and other unnecessary items from home. This causes distractions and sometimes conflict at school. Please help us by making sure your child/children are only bringing items that are necessary for school, unless special permission has been given and communicated to you by the teacher.

Thank you for your help in this matter!

Beekeeper, Ms. Kristi Cawley, and her special assistant Reid taught first grade all about beekeeping and collecting honey. They even got to sample some honey! Yum!

While we recognize that our students are more than a test score, we do want them to excel in everything they do, including state testing!

Although there are a lot of uncertainties surrounding the new STAAR tests, we have done our best to prepare for them! Our teachers and staff have done lots of research and found ways to help students get familiar with the new format. Students have been working extra hard to prepare!

We have been encouraging our students to put forth their best efforts in everything that they do so that each assignment they submit is something that they can take pride in and that they would be proud to show their parents and loved ones.

Here are a few tips to help your child and our Super Scholars have the best day possible:

• Get plenty of rest!
• Eat a healthy breakfast.
• Dress comfortably
• Start your day peacefully.
• Arrive on time.
• Think positive thoughts!
• Don't stress and do your best!

We appreciate you and could not do this without your love, encouragement, and support!

RES decided years ago to not participate in type of fundraisers where students are required to do any type of door to door sales. We chose instead to ask for donations from our RES community to help provide student incentives, improve playground equipment, fund field trips, etc.

If you would like to help out, you can donate online by clicking this link: https://www.rivercrestisd.net/page/fund-raiser?fbclid=IwAR3m15bp7usrDKxBj9ucxPTzLkT87uOg6A1TzUlgaxqJs71dbCZh6a8sXg8.

You can also send cash/check with a student or mail to

We make student and staff safety a priority at RES! One new safety feature we are implementing is that you MUST present a state issued photo ID to be permitted to visit our campus. Your ID will be kept in the front office while you are on campus. Your ID will be returned when you check out in the front office. This will help us keep track of anyone on campus in the event of an emergency. We thank you for your cooperation and understanding!

Also, be prepared to show a photo ID when checking students out early.
