At Riverview, safety and positive community building are our high priorities. We want to share an important focus area with you as we work together to keep our school environment safe, respectful, and supportive for all students.

We are engaging in intentional, proactive lessons with our students to teach them that we do not make threatening statements, even if we "don't mean them." We are helping students understand the weight of their words and the impact that threats or alarming language can have on others.

To ensure clarity and consistency, we want to inform you of the protocols in place should a student make a threat to others. The student will immediately receive a major behavior referral. School administration is required by district protocols to conduct a formal threat assessment. Consequences will be assigned directly following our district behavior matrix.

We encourage you to talk with your child at home about the importance of mindful communication and using appropriate ways to express frustration. Thank you for your continued partnership in keeping our school family safe.

Medication guidelines:

If your student requires medication at school,

1. A Medication Consent Form must be completed and turned in with each medication. If the medication is a prescription, the form must be signed by the doctor as well as the parent.
2. Parents must deliver all medications to the school nurse. Students are not allowed to carry medications to and from school.

For more information, please refer to the Student Handbook.

This week, the Lions Club visited our school to conduct vision screenings for our students. Out of 671 students screened, 93 did not pass the assessment. If your child requires a follow-up evaluation, you will receive a results form along with a letter recommending an appointment with an eye care professional.

Please contact Nurse McLelland if you have any questions or concerns.
