Riverview Report

Can you believe it is already almost November? Time is flying by. I have loved visiting classes and seeing how hard our students are working everyday. Thank you for all of the work you do at home, and for making it a priority to have your students here and on time for school so that they don't miss important instructional time.

We had a lot of fun at Riverview in October! The Halloween Parade was successful, and it was so fun to see all of the different costumes. As the weather is turning colder, please make sure that your child comes to school each day dressed to be outside. If you need help with getting your child a coat, please let me or Mrs. Sullivan know. We will be outside every day unless it is raining heavily, actively snowing, or if the temperature is below 20 degrees. Thanksgiving break this year will be November 25th-27th.

Happy November, and have a wonderful month!

Thank you,

Ms. Poulson

Dear Parents and Guardians,

The safety and security of our students and staff are always our top priorities. As part of our ongoing efforts to maintain a safe school environment, we are making an important change to our school entry procedures.

Beginning Monday, November 2, the double glass doors inside the front entryway that lead into our school hallways will remain closed before and after school. All parents and visitors must check in at the front office before entering the hallways.

A teacher will be stationed in the entryway to help ensure this procedure is followed and that the doors remain closed and are not propped open. This additional supervision will help us maintain a secure building and ensure that everyone entering our school checks in at the office and follows the appropriate procedures.

We recognize that this change will be an adjustment for parents and students alike as we get used to a new routine. We ask for your help in talking with your children about this change so they understand the new expectations and know what to do before and after school. Your support and reinforcement at home will help make this transition as smooth as possible for everyone.

Thank you for your patience, understanding, and continued partnership in keeping our school safe. We appreciate your support as we work together to provide a safe and welcoming environment for all students and staff.

If you have any questions, please contact the school office.

Every Day Counts at Riverview!

At Riverview, we want every student to feel connected, confident, and successful at school. One of the most important ways families can support their child's learning is by making regular school attendance a priority.

Every school day matters! Our teachers work hard to create meaningful learning experiences, and when students miss school, they miss more than just assignments. They miss valuable instruction, classroom discussions, hands-on activities, and opportunities to build relationships with their teachers and classmates.

We absolutely understand that children get sick and that unexpected circumstances arise. We want students to stay home when they are ill! However, we encourage families to be mindful of unnecessary absences and, whenever possible, schedule appointments and family activities outside of school hours.

Our goal isn't perfect attendance. It's helping every child have every possible opportunity to learn, grow, and succeed.

Thank you for partnering with us to make every school day count!

Thanksgiving Break will be Wednesday, Nov. 25th - Friday, Nov. 27th this year. We wish you and your family a wonderful Thanksgiving!

Veterans Day will be celebrated Wednesday, November 11, 2026. The American Legion will be coming to put on an assembly for us at 12:50 PM that day. We would like to invite any veterans that are related to our students here at Riverview, to come to our assembly if they would like to. If you would like to come, please RSVP to our secretary at damaris.sullivan@nebo.edu so that we know how many will be joining us.

We would like to add pictures of our veterans to our display that we are putting up in the hall. If you have a picture you would like to add, please either email it to jody.thorne@nebo.edu or you can bring a hard copy in to the school that we can scan.

Also, we would like to have all of our students wear red, white and blue to school on Veterans Day. Thank you!

We will be having a book fair Tuesday, November 17 - Friday, November, 20th. Students and parents will be able to shop the book fair BEFORE and AFTER school each day.

Let's hear your best turkey gobble and see your best turkey wobble! Each class will be holding a Turkey Impersonation Contest. The winner from each class will compete to be the best turkey impersonator in their grade. The contest will be during an assembly on Monday the 23rd. If your child is participating in the contest, we will let you know so that you can come if you would like.
