River HomeLink is one of just 21 Washington schools selected to receive the inaugural School on the Rise award
For creating a positive learning environment in which all staff members, parents and guardians work together to benefit students, River HomeLink is one of just 21 Washington schools selected to receive the inaugural School on the Rise award. The award is presented by the Association of Washington Student Leaders and Association of Washington School Principals.
River HomeLink is a family-friendly, accredited public school that provides a range of educational options and supports for students in kindergarten through 12th grade. At River HomeLink, parents are involved on campus and in classrooms as co-learners. Parents and guardians can be found onsite every day that school is in session. Each student and family also has an adviser that they meet with at least once per month to discuss progress toward learning targets both in the classroom and at home. “We believe that the learning done at home is just as valuable and important as the learning in the classroom,” said Assistant Principal Susan Smith.
The school’s approach to collective leadership also has led to an environment in which staff feel heard, empowered and dedicated to the success of students and families. This shared decision-making and training led to a significant increase in the school’s collaboration and communication last year.
“This award is a testament to the level of collaboration and dedication that exists within the River HomeLink community,” said Principal Matt Kesler. “By fostering an inclusive environment where families and staff work hand-in-hand, we empower our students to thrive at home and in the classroom. We are grateful for our staff, students, families and community for their ongoing commitment to our mission.”
