Reminder that RVLSD will be closed on Monday September 7th to observe Labor Day. We will resume classes on Tuesday. Enjoy the day with family and friends!
📣 **Attendance Matters!**
We are excited to announce that our attendance efforts are paying off!
Chronic absenteeism is defined as missing 10% or more of the school year. That equals approximately 18 days or just 2 days each month.
During the 2025–26 school year, RVLSD’s chronic absenteeism rate improved from 22% to **17%**!
A special shout-out goes to River View High School, where the rate dropped from 31% to **21%** , a remarkable **10-percentage-point decrease**!
Thank you to our staff, students, and families for emphasizing the importance of showing up every day. We could not have achieved this progress without everyone’s efforts!
We will continue building on this momentum throughout the 2026–27 school year. September is Attendance Awareness Month, and we will be holding special activities each week.
Stay tuned for more details because every day matters, and every student counts!

Android team… are you really going to let Apple take the trophy? 🤖 vs 🍎
The current River View App Scoreboard is looking a little one-sided:
🍎 Apple: 360
🤖 Android: 234
We know Black Bear Nation is competitive, but Android users are currently down by 126 downloads. Are green bubbles really going to let blue bubbles win this easy? 😂

Dear River View Families,
We’re excited to share that Healthy Kids Programs is partnering with River View Local Schools to provide before and after-school care for the 2026–2027 school year—and enrollment is now open! (This program is not run directly by River View Local Schools, but rather the third-party organization Healthy Kids.) The program is located at River View Elementary.
Programs are available for Kindergarten through 12-year-olds.
The programs are designed with flexibility in mind to meet the needs of busy families:
Before School Care
Available from 7:00 AM until the start of the school day
After School Care
Available from school dismissal until 6:00 PM
Both programs offer full-time and part-time monthly tuition options, so you can choose the schedule that works best for your family.
Additional Care Options at River View -
Schools Out Program: Full-day or half-day care on scheduled no-school days (professional development days, breaks, etc.)
Drop-In Care: Perfect for families needing flexible, occasional care—with same-day reservations available
Schools Out and Drop-In Care do not require monthly tuition. Instead, care is paid at the time of reservation. Please note that prior enrollment is required for participation in these programs.
Limited-Time Enrollment Offer
The standard enrollment fee is $100 per student, but for a limited time:
Register by June 30, and pay only $25 per student for enrollment fee!
This is a great opportunity to secure your child’s spot for just $25, even if your care needs aren’t fully decided yet. With Healthy Kids available all year, you’ll have reliable support whenever you need it—before school, after school, or on days off.
