Riverbend Academy

🎉MCSD SPIRIT DAY🎉 Staff at Riverbend Academy is showing their #BobcatPride on Martin County School District Spirit Day! "Teachers modeling their own sense of purpose can have a powerful impact on students as they explore their values and aspirations. We at Riverbend give students a purpose to strive to reach them. This also works to foster their growth mindset development, which is closely related to a sense of purpose. We love our students!" #ALLINMartin👊 #MCSDTheRippleEffect

📚 MAKING AN IMPACT: RIVERBEND READS!📚 A unique and collaborative volunteer project at Riverbend Academy has allowed writers and readers to enhance the literacy and lives of students on campus. Located in Tequesta, Riverbend Academy is the District-operated educational center for students who reside at SandyPines Adolescent Residential Treatment Center. The school strives to provide students, who come from throughout Florida and our nation to receive inpatient treatment, with an exceptional educational experience that will allow them to reach their academic and behavioral goals. Wednesdays are known as "Wonderful Wednesdays" at Riverbend, with students eagerly looking forward to local authors coming to read one-on-one with them. This collaborative time helps students feel connected to and cared for by the outside world. "This is something many of them need and enjoy," paraprofessional Sheila Carpenter Perry shares.

🚨SAFETY FIRST🚨 Families - please ensure your child wears their school-issued ID badge daily. These ID badges are an essential component of our overall safety plan. In addition, your child's badge allows them to easily perform certain school-related functions, such as boarding/exiting their school bus, purchasing meals or checking out materials from the media center. If your child needs a new badge, please contact their school. #ALLINMartin👊 #PublicSchoolProud
