PASS is planning Secret Santa Shop and YOU can help!

Posted: Nov 29, 2017 by Patricia Gibson, Communications Director

Parents: We need your help. Would you be willing to help students shop in the Secret Santa Shop? Look for a sign up sheet coming home soon!

Riverview's Secret Santa Shop is set from Dec. 4-7.

All items will be $3 each. Be on the lookout for an envelope that will be sent home for students to bring back with money they would like to spend.

The Secret Santa Shop is brought to you by Riverview PASS (Parent Allies for Student Success - our PTO).

MARK YOUR CALENDAR: Holiday program schedule set!

Posted: Nov 28, 2017 by Patricia Gibson, Communications Director

Originally posted Nov. 2, 2017

It's that time of year again when our calendars start filling up with holiday plans!

And because we know our school holiday programs can take some logistical work for parents and families to attend, we've set the schedule now, so you can make plans early!

K-4 programs will be in the school gymnasium on Wednesday, Dec. 6. Here's a look at the grade-by-grade schedule:

8:30 a.m. - 4th grade
9:30 a.m. - 2nd grade
10:30 a.m. - 3rd grade
11:30 a.m. - kindergarten
12:30 p.m. - 1st grade

PARKING NOTE: Due to Riverview’s limited parking, we need your help to keep the parking lot safe and make sure traffic is able to move. Remember to park in parking spots and NOT in the drive in front of the school. Please do not block anyone's driveways or park in anyone's
yard. If no spots are available, you may enter by the playground and park along the sidewalk, only on the playground side. It would be helpful if you arrive no more than 15 minutes before your child’s grade level start time. This will allow the families of the grade level before you to leave and will make more parking spaces available. Doors will not open before this time for seats.

A group of students will also be caroling the evening of Dec. 6, at Miller's Merry Manor, Brookdale Assisted Living, and Northwood Manor between about 4:30 and 6 p.m.

Little Giants Preschool at Riverview Elementary will have their holiday program at 9:30 a.m. Dec. 7.

Mark your calendars now, because we hope to see you here!

This holiday season, as carols tell of a special star that shone long ago, Marion High School’s state-of-the-art planetarium will put on a special show that explores the wonders of the night sky.

The public is invited to MHS for “Seasonal Stargazing: Winter and Season of Lights”. Showings will be as follows:

2 p.m. and 5 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 9
2 p.m. and 5 p.m. Sunday, Dec. 10

Admission is free, but seating is limited and on a first-come, first-seated basis on the day of the show. Doors will open about 30 minutes before each showing. Enter MHS through Door 22 at the front of the building. The show lasts about an hour.

Posted: Nov 15, 2017 by Patricia Gibson, Communications Director

Riverview is excited to announce our Educator of the Month: Mrs. Sisson!

This is her 30th year teaching with Marion Community Schools. It is her fifth year at Riverview Elementary.

She attended Indiana University where she obtained her bachelor’s degree, and Ball State University where she obtained her master’s degree. She majored in elementary education.

Her favorite thing about teaching at Riverview is the staff. Her favorite thing about teaching is when a student finally gets it and you see the light bulb come on. She says she appreciates how supportive the staff is at Riverview.
