Welcome back Bluejays!!! We are extremely excited to welcome you back to another great school year at Riverside Elementary School. We are looking forward to seeing everyones excitement and can't wait to hear all about what you did this summer!


Our staff have been working hard to prepare for our students return. At Riverside, we pride ourselves on being not only a school community, but a family.

Each month we will be publishing this newsletter to keep parents informed of important dates, information and activities here at school. Hard copies of this newsletter can be made available in our main office upon request.


We will be sending out our welcome letters on Friday August 7, 2026. Lamers will send the busing information letters the week before school starts.


Thank you,


Kevin Kampmann

Riverside Principal

We want to welcome our newest Bluejays and give them a chance to see their new school! Our Bridge to Kindergarten will be on Monday August 17, 2026 from 9:00-12:00.


Students will have the opportunity to explore their classrooms, and meet their classroom and encore teachers (music, art, PE, library, guidance), which helps them become familiar with the building. Students will have lunch at 11:00, and get a chance to play on the playground afterwards.


There will be an optional parent meeting from 11:15-12:00. This meeting will have a lot of helpful information such as what to expect for the first day of school, busing information, an example of a kindergarten schedule, breakfast & lunch information, FAQ's, and what to expect for the end of the day if you are picking up your student.


We can't wait to meet you!

School Resource Officer- Officer Loveless School Resource Officer- Officer Loveless

We want to let you know that Officer Loveless will be joining us here at Riverside as our school resource officer! In past years, Officer Loveless has taught our 5th grade DARE classes.


The role of a School Resource Officer is multifaceted. Not only does Officer Loveless ensure the safety and security of our school, but he also serves as a mentor and educator. He will be actively involved in teaching students about safety, making positive choices, and being a resource for any questions or concerns students may have.


Please join us in welcoming Officer Loveless to the Riverside Bluejay family when you see him in the halls!

School Safety School Safety

D.C. Everest administrators and staff have been proactively working with law enforcement, first responders and our Superintendent’s Office in Wisconsin to update our Comprehensive School Safety Plans and put into place effective drills that will help prepare us for incidents, emergencies or disasters that may occur at school or within the community. Below is important safety information we encourage you to review prior to the start of the school year.


Talk to Your Student About Safety

It is crucial for parents/guardians to be aware of the safety protocols at their child’s school. Engaging in conversations with your child(ren) about safety drills taking place at school is vital to helping them prepare for emergencies that may take place at school or elsewhere. By helping your student understand the District safety protocols (found below), you can help reduce fear and build a student’s trust in the systems we have in place. Open dialogues between parents, teachers, support staff and students strengthen our processes and emergency response plans. Below are the District safety protocols to review with your student.


Be Alert

“If you see something, say something!” This proactive approach is encouraged among students, parents and staff to ensure safety concerns are reported immediately to school administrators or appropriate first responders, especially if there is a potential for imminent danger.


Drills and Preparedness

All schools will continue to conduct regular fire, lockdown and safety drills as required by state law — including unannounced drills to evaluate readiness. Our first drills will occur within the first two weeks of school.


Run, Hide, Fight (Take Action)

We use the Run, Hide, Fight (Take Action) protocol, a nationally recommended strategy endorsed by the Department of Homeland Security:

  • Run – Get away from danger if safe to do so.

  • Hide – Stay out of sight and remain quiet.

  • Fight (Take Action) – As a last resort, attempt to stop the threat if your life is in immediate danger.

Emergency Procedures

  • Fire – Evacuate and wait for clearance to return.

  • Lockdown – Secure your location based on the threat.

  • Shelter in Place – Remain indoors during outside hazards.

  • Reunification – If students must be relocated, families will receive instructions via School Messenger, our website and social media.

For your safety and the safety of students, staff and first responders, please:
  • DO NOT REPORT TO THE SCHOOL — procedures are in place to safely and efficiently reunite students with parents/guardians.
  • Ensure you have persons authorized to pick up your student(s) LISTED ON YOUR STUDENT’S EMERGENCY CARD in Infinite Campus (you can find more information linked HERE). No student will be released to any other adult, if not listed on the current emergency card.
  • Have your photo ID with you at the reunification site; it will be required at the time of pickup​.



Communication During an Emergency

During an emergency at a D.C. Everest school, communication is distributed through the School Messenger all-call system, the district websites and our social media channels. To ensure you receive timely alerts, please update your emergency contact information. Please visit the DCE Safety and Security webpage to update your contact information in Infinite Campus.


Parents are advised to:

  • Remain at home/work and monitor our communication channels (website, social media, email, texts) for updated information.

  • Avoid sending repeated texts or phone calls to students’ personal cell phones; doing so may alert intruders to your child’s location and may tie up the cellular systems, potentially delaying a safe and effective response.

  • Refrain from proceeding to the site of the emergency — doing so may block roads and prevent first responders from responding in a timely manner; only proceed to the site if advised to do so by the District or law enforcement

  • Avoid posting unverified information to your social media channels — this can lead to mass confusion and misinformation.


For any concerns or questions, please contact your building principal.

Pick Up & Drop Off Pick Up & Drop Off

User uploaded image
zoom_out_map

When dropping off your students before school, please use the lane farthest from the building to drop off your children, as the lane closest to the building is the bus drop off lane. When dropping off your children, please remain in your vehicle while students exit the passenger side of the vehicle and proceed down the median sidewalk to the cross walk and into the building.

If you are arriving after the start of the day, please bring your student to the main doors (located at the left side of the building, with the overhang above) and press the doorbell, as all other doors are locked after school begins. An office member will assist you in getting your child checked in.


At Pick-Up time, if you are picking up your child(ren), we ask that you park your vehicle and come in to the main lobby. Starting at 3:30, you will give your family pick-up number to the staff member in the main lobby to put into our pick-up system. Then you can wait for your child in the Multipurpose room. At 3:35, students will be released to the Multipurpose room to be matched with parents.


If you are picking up prior to the end of the day, please come to the main doors (located at the left side of the building, with the overhang above), and press the doorbell. An office member will call down to your child's classroom to have your child released, as you sign them out on the sign-out sheet, located on the front office counter.

SPECIAL DIETARY NEEDS

Special dietary accommodations are available for students with a disability that is food-related in accordance with USDA regulations 7CFR Part 15b. The district will provide dietary modifications for children with disabilities on a case-by-case basis when requests are supported by a written statement from a state licensed medical practitioner.


The licensed medical practitioner's statement must identify:

  • an explanation of how the child’s physical or mental impairment restricts the child’s diet;
  • the food(s) to be avoided; and
  • the food or choice of foods that must be substituted.


The health aide can provide this form, or it is available on the Health & Nurse Services page as well. Please return to your building’s health aide or the School Nutrition Office. Once the completed form is returned, it will be shared with the Supervisor of School Nutrition and the District Nurse. You will be contacted to determine what procedures need to be put into place to accommodate your child’s needs.


Please plan on a two week waiting period, after we have received the physicians statement/form, for the accommodations to begin with school meals.

Parent Teacher Conferences Parent Teacher Conferences

Formal conferences will be held twice each year to permit teachers and parents to discuss a student's progress in school. An e-mail will be sent out to parents to select a 15-minute in-person conference time that works best for your family. Since it is important for a teacher and parents to communicate with one another, the school annually sets a goal of 100% parent participation at conferences.

Other Helpful Information Other Helpful Information

VISITORS AT SCHOOL PROCEDURES

For purposes of understanding: A “visitor” means an unpaid person who attends a district sponsored event or activity. As part of D.C. Everest Board Policy 8410 school safety plan, all doors to the school are locked during the school day. Visitors will need to press a call button located near the center of the front doors to enter the building. All visitors are required to register in the school office.


  • “Visitor” is typically a parent/guardian/family support person attending a school event, sporting event, theater production, class choir, or school family event OR is a parent/guardian dropping off/picking up their child from school.

  • Visitors attending school events shall report their presence and sign in at the school office if the visit occurs during the instructional day; but may not be required to sign in if the event or activity is after the instructional day.

  • Visitors dropping off/picking up their child from school outside normal drop/pickup times will press the call button located near the center of the front doors to enter the building and drop off/pick up their child in the office lobby area.


ATTENDANCE: When a student is absent, a parent should call school by 9 am to report their child’s absence—715-359-2417, press 1 for attendance voicemail. For doctor, dentist, counseling etc. appointments, please bring a slip from the Dr.’s office to have the absence considered as a medical excuse. Regular attendance is a requirement under Wisconsin State law for all students K-5.


iPADS & TEXTBOOKS: All iPads and workbooks needed for the education of your child will be furnished by the school district. These items, and all other school property, are to be handled with extreme care by the students to ensure long use. Any property that is damaged by a student will be replaced by that student at his/her expense.


STUDENT ARRIVAL: Students who walk to school or are driven by parents should plan to arrive to school no earlier than 8:20 am. Doors will remain closed until that time. Students will not be permitted to go to the classrooms/playground earlier since, prior to that time, teachers are not available to provide necessary supervision. Students should be in their classrooms by 8:35 as instruction begins at 8:40am.


ALTERNATE PICK-UP PLANS: Please be sure to send a physical note to your child’s teacher if there will be a change in transportation for your child after school, or call to let the main office know. It is very important for the teacher and child to know after school plans. It is difficult at the end of the day to contact teachers and students for last minute changes. All students will be put on their regular bus at dismissal time unless they have a note with alternate instructions.


NO ANIMAL POLICY—Animals should not be brought on school grounds. We have students with allergies and we also have this policy in place for the safety of our children. We cannot anticipate how an animal will react to an individual. We also want to keep our school grounds clean since children play on our grass.

Universal Screeners Universal Screeners

The D.C. Everest School District continues to create academic and social-emotional support systems linked directly to the assessed needs of our students. This system, known as the Everest System of Supports (E.S.S.), provides all students with timely and targeted instruction and intervention based upon the data-driven results of universal screening tools.


The primary purpose of universal screening is to help all students be successful. By identifying students who are in need of more specialized academic or behavioral interventions, we can provide assistance and preventative measures as early as possible. Likewise, by identifying students with higher reasoning skills and talent potential, we can provide them with opportunities to participate in the Gifted and Talented Magnet program or other enrichment opportunities appropriate for the individual student. In addition to universal screening tools, specific grade levels participate in annual assessments required by the state of Wisconsin.


Universal Screening Tools:


  • The universal screening tool aimswebPlus includes assessments (grades K-5) for math and reading to help determine where students might have gaps in knowledge and skills and need assistance. The assessments are administered in fall, winter, and spring. In the area of literacy for grades K-3, aimswebPlus is the universal screening tool required in Wisconsin as a comprehensive assessment of young children's knowledge of literacy foundational skills that are predictive of future reading success.
  • aimswebPlus universal reading screening data will also be used to determine which students would benefit from continuing in the screening process through use of informal, diagnostic, individually administered assessment tools in the areas of phonemic awareness, decoding, fluency, and spelling. This will help us identify students who display risk factors associated with dyslexia/related difficulties. The results from these assessments are not intended or designed to diagnose dyslexia; their purpose is to identify children who are experiencing reading difficulties that may require extra support and ensure that support is targeted to each student’s areas of need.
  • The 7 Mindsets Insights Assessment helps measure student perceptions across the seven mindsets—Everything is Possible, Passion First, We Are Connected, 100% Accountable, Attitude of Gratitude, Live to Give, and The Time is Now—with results highlighting growth areas for individual students, classes, and our building. The assessment is administered two to three times per year.


Wisconsin State Assessment System:


  • In spring, the Wisconsin Forward Exam will be administered to all students in grades 3-5. The Wisconsin Forward Exam is designed to gauge how well students are doing in relation to the Wisconsin Academic Standards. These standards outline what students should know and be able to do in order to be college and career ready.
  • Students in grades 3-5 will take the English language arts (ELA) and math portions of the exam.
  • Students in grade 4 will also be tested in science and social studies.



Thank you for supporting the D.C. Everest School District’s efforts to build a system of student supports linked directly to data. This initiative will ensure each of our students has the opportunity to receive the assistance they need to achieve academic and social-emotional success. Please do not hesitate to contact your building principal if you would like to discuss any of the assessment processes or the options of opting your child out of a specific assessment/survey.

Nut Free Policy Nut Free Policy

User uploaded image
zoom_out_map

Some food products can cause an anaphylactic reaction if a person eats, touches, or breathes in the protein. Anaphylaxis means that the immune system over reacts to a particular protein found in that food. Each reaction is unique and symptoms range from mild to life threatening with each exposure. The eight foods most commonly responsible for the majority of reactions are: cow’s milk, eggs, fish, peanuts, shellfish, soy, tree nuts, and wheat. Examples of non-food related anaphylactic allergens are latex, medication, and insect venom (i.e. bee stings).


Although the district cannot guarantee an allergen free campus, DC Everest Policy 5335.01 provides an anaphylactic aware environment (K-12) for staff and students by taking measures to minimize the risk of an exposure and educate staff to respond to life threatening reactions. During classroom projects and activities, common food allergens, as well as latex, will be avoided.


For the safety of all students, nut products or products containing nuts are only allowed in the cafeteria during lunch from students who bring cold lunch. Items for snack should not contain nuts as they cannot be consumed in the classroom. Birthday or party treats are welcome, but must be purchased (not baked at home), in original packaging, and cannot contain nuts.


The food service department will make dietary substitutions in accordance with USDA regulations 7 CFR Part 15b, when the "Medical Statement for Children with Disabilities Requiring Special Foods in Child Nutrition Programs" is correctly completed by a physician and returned to the Supervisor of Food Services.


A reasonable effort for school operated programs will be made to not serve or purchase food products that contain nut ingredients. Nut containing products will not be served in grades K-5. All students may pack a cold lunch containing nut product to be eaten in the cafeteria only.


The parent/guardians will supply a physician signed and completed Anaphylactic Action plan to the school and indicate if the student should sit at an allergy safe table and notify staff if there are any changes in the student’s health.

Student Directory Data Student Directory Data

Student Directory DataAs part of its Directory Data Notice, and in compliance with specific federal Acts and state Statutes, the D.C. Everest Area School Board is required to define specific student information as “directory information”. At D.C. Everest, directory information includes:


● Student name

● Student photograph(s)

● Officially-recognized sports and activities the student participates in

● Student height and weight, if a member of an athletic team

● Graduation date

● Degrees and awards received


If families prefer the above-noted student information not be shared, they must inform the District — in writing— which of the directory information items they refuse to permit the District to designate as “Directory Data” for their student. For example, if a parent/guardian decides photos of their student should not be released, then the student’s photo will not appear in the yearbook, in team photos, in photos shared on social media and with the media, etc. The Board defines “personally identifiable information” in its Directory Data Notice. (For a complete list of the “personally identifiable information” data, view the DCE Directory Data Notice online).


The District is required to release specific personally identifiable information — the name, address, and telephone listing of a student — upon request from a military recruiter or institutions of higher education without prior written parental/guardian consent unless parents request in writing that their student’s name, address and telephone number not be released to military recruiters or institutions of higher education without prior written parental consent. This specific request must be submitted to the Student Services Secretary.


The above-noted written requests should be submitted to the student’s school secretary at the elementary level and the Student Services secretary at the secondary level.


The complete D.C. Everest Directory Data Notice is available online.

Fall Fundraiser Fall Fundraiser

The funds raised from these events are used for family nights, teacher resources, field trips, popcorn days, scholarships, and large purchases such as our recent purchase of new playground equipment. We would love to hear ideas for what our next big purchase should be!

Welcome back! I hope you and your family had a wonderful summer!


I eagerly look forward to greeting students and families again and am very excited to begin my sixth year as Riverside’s School Counselor. It remains an honor and a privilege. I have a lot of ideas (and renewed energy!) for how to best serve our students. Please don’t hesitate to utilize my counseling services. My role is to support student academic performance by providing social/emotional, academic and career related interventions which may include brief individual counseling, peer mediation, small group counseling, classroom guidance lessons, and other targeted interventions. I serve as a liaison/advocate for parents and students and I am ready and willing to help in any way I can. Feel free to contact me if you have any concerns about your child. I am here for you 100%!


It is my hope that this school year will be full of growth and successful experiences for ALL students. Here’s to an exciting 2026-2027 school year!


Warmest Regards,


Mrs. Sara Tatro, B.S., M.S.

School Counselor

Fuel for the Weekend

Previously Blessings in a backpack, Fuel for the Weekend is a program designed to provide non-perishable food every Friday to children that would benefit from supplemental nourishment over the weekend. The program runs the full 38-week school year and there is no cost to participate. If you wish for your child to participate in the program, please contact the office and we can send a form home. Once the program is implemented, your child will receive a bag of non-perishable food every Friday which will be distributed in a discreet and caring manner.

For additional information please visit the Fuel for the Weekend Facebook Page .
