Riverview Elementary School Home

Attention, adventurers! Our Book Blast event starts Monday, October 21st, where we will set off in search of treasure to build our students' home libraries. Follow the steps on the Treasure Map that will be coming home Monday, October 21st to embark on a jungle quest to earn exciting prizes and books.

Congratulations to all our students for working hard for the first quarter. We welcome you to help us celebrate our students' citizenship, creativity, and academics on Thursday, October 31st. 3rd Grade will be at 8:15; 4th Grade at 9:00; and 2nd Grade at 9:45.

You are invited to participate in the Riverview Halloween Parade on Thursday, October 31st. The parade will begin at 1:30 PM near the main entrance of the school. Parents are welcome to park in the parking lot or along the street where permitted to watch the parade. Pictures may be taken at the end of the parade in the bus circle. Class parties, science experiments, and other activities will take place immediately after the parade. We understand that some families do not celebrate Halloween. If you would prefer that your child does not participate in the parade or related activities, please contact the office or your child’s teacher. We can make other arrangements for your child. Attached is the Halloween Parade Route and letter from Mr. Doherty.

On Tuesday, November 5th, there is No School. The Illinois Election Code states that "November 5, 2024, shall be deemed a legal school holiday for purposes of the School Code and State Universities Civil Service Act." We have school on Monday, November 4th and Wednesday, November 6th, Thursday, November 7th and Friday, November 8th. Any questions, please contact your child's teacher or the office.

The district-wide goal is 7,500 items. Riverview's goal for 12 classrooms is to donate 1,200 cans. The class that has the most donations for each grade level will get a special party. Baby food will count as two items. Ramen noodles will be accepted, but CANS are preferred (the food bank needs more than just Ramen noodles). We are also accepting toiletry items. Please check expiration dates. We are not allowed to donate any food items that have expired, damaged, or are open. Thank you for understanding. Riverview students show good citizenship by doing what we can to help others.
