Attention 7th and 12th grade parents:

As a reminder, for 7th Grade students the State requires: TDap and Meningococcal ACWY (MCV4) vaccinations and for 12th Grade students the State requires: a Booster of Meningococcal ACWY (MCV4). If your student has already received these vaccines, please provide a copy of them to the High School Office if you have not done so already. If you have questions about where to obtain these vaccines/boosters for your student, please contact Kenzie, the School Nurse at 740-824-3523 ext. 1305. These vaccinations/boosters are required by the State unless we have an Exemption on file.

If desired, please complete the Medical Immunization Exemption section on Final Forms for your student or contact the office for a form to sign instead. Please contact the High School Office and ask for the Nurse for any questions.

Thank you to our students and staff for helping kick off our weekly LIT time. This is 15 minutes, twice a week that students and staff are spending time reading books, magazines, or other published materials. Thank you to the RVLSD for helping purchase many books for our students to read. Students can also bring their own book to read during this time. It is our hope that our students learn to enjoy reading more and it helps them improve their vocabulary, and their reading and writing skills.

Class of 2027

Good afternoon River View High School students and parents. This is Mr. Branch, with a couple of announcements


Attention Parents:  We have 65 parents that still need to complete FinalForms.  If you could please make sure that you have looked at your child's FinalForms records and if they are not completed we ask that you take care of that ASAP. Thank you for helping us out. 

Tomorrow is our 1st day in the block day and it will be even periods. Students will only have periods 2, 4, 6, 8 tomorrow and on Thursday will be our odd periods and students will only have periods 1, 3, 5, 7. Students will start with their 2nd period class at 7:30am on Wednesday.  Remember there is no senior incentive on Wednesdays when we are on our block schedule. 

We have a new initiative this year called LIT time that will take place on our modified block days. We are taking a break and unplugging from technology for 15 minutes twice a week and everyone in our building including the adults will be reading. We as a district purchased many different types of books this summer for students to check out.  Students can choose from that list, get a book from the library, or they can bring something from home to read. It does not have to be a book from school, it can be a magazine, newspaper, etc.  We just want our students to read.  

Teen leadership corps is collecting formal wear, so all of our students have an opportunity to attend Homecoming and Prom. If you have any homecoming or prom dresses or dress shirts and ties sitting in your closets that you have been wondering what to do with, you can drop them off to the high school office or there will be drop boxes this week at the girls soccer game and volleyball game on Thursday and the football game on Friday. If you have any questions you can email rvteenleadership@rvbears.org or call the main office at 740-824-3522.

That is all for your announcements, have a great evening and Go Black Bears!

The Class of 2027 did not let the weather outside deter their excitement for the start of their final year at RVHS. Thank you to those members of the Class of 2027 that joined us this morning to kick of this momentous year for them and their families.

Good evening River View High School students and parents. This is Mr. Branch, with a couple of announcements

Attention Parents:

Please if you have not completed your students FinalForms, take a couple of minutes and make sure that those are updated. Students need those forms completed or updated before we will give your student their schedule on August 13th at Open House.

RVHS Open House this year is this Thursday, August 13th from 5:30pm - 7:00pm. Schedules will not be available until 5:30pm. FinalForms for your students need to be completed or updated before student schedules will be given out. Come out that evening, walk your students' schedule and meet their teachers, pay student dues, check out the clubs that we have available for students, meet with the Food service department, etc. We will have chromebooks available for parents to get help filling out FinalForms Thursday evening. Any questions about FinalForms please contact Mrs. Tina Allen in the RVHS Main office.

Meet the Team will be on Thursday night August 13th starting with activities for kids at Don Rushing Stadium at 5:30pm and athletic teams in grades 7-12 will be introduced starting at 7:00pm in Don Rushing Stadium. Come out and support all of our student-athletes as they kick off their seasons.

New Modified Block Schedule:

Please see the link about our modified black bell schedule. Students are going to report to school everyday at the same assigned time like in past years. The change for students is what their day looks like between 7:30am - 2:12pm on Wednesday and Thursday. There are many benefits that are going to be highlighted in this email and several follow up emails on why as a district and school we decided to adopt this schedule moving forward.



Why are we making the change to the modified block bell schedule?

This schedule allows our building to meet the needs of all of our students.

This schedule gives students the opportunity to do activities/labs that teachers may not have had time to do in a regular 43 minute classroom.

This schedule allows us to increase the depth of basic Tier 1 knowledge for all students.

This schedule will allow us to have more Response to Intervention time during the school day and allows for more small group targeted Tier 2 and 3 interventions.

200 minutes a week during FLEX

This schedule will allow us to more effectively and efficiently address the Reading Improvement Plans (RIMP’s)

That is all for your announcements, have a great evening and Go Bears!
