Parent-Teacher Conferences will take place February 16th-17th, 2022. Currently, we are allowing parent choice of in-person or virtual (Zoom) meetings. District recommendations may change closer to conference dates and will be communicated in advance.

In an effort to keep everyone as healthy as possible, families are encouraged to participate in virtual conferences, via Zoom. When applicable, teachers will send needed documents home prior to conferences, for review and discussion during the conferences. If you prefer an in-person conference, please select or note such on the sign-up. In-person conferences require masks and social distancing. Additionally, should you feel ill within the five days immediately prior to the conference, please contact Lisa O'Donnell in the Riverview office to indicate your preference for a virtual meeting. Lisa may be reached at LODonnell@usd232.org

If you have questions, please reach out. We look forward to discussing your child’s progress with you.

Good news!! We can now test symptomatic students who are onsite in our district buildings! Parental consent must be obtained in writing prior to testing. Tests go through MAWD laboratories and can take 24-72 hours for results to be received. Parents receive these results via email, your school nurses DO NOT receive results.

If your child needs to be excluded from school due to symptoms of COVID your options are:

1) Have your child tested for COVID with a PCR or Molecular test (Antigen tests are not accepted!!) We can do this at the school if they become symptomatic while at school (see above). Otherwise they will need to be tested outside of school.

2) Have a doctor diagnosis your child with something other than COVID and provide a doctor’s note (see below for what constitutes a properly written doctor’s note).

3) Opt your child out of school for 5-days, if you don’t want to test them for COVID or see a doctor.

Returning to school procedure: Riverview Nurses HAVE to review your child’s test results before they are allowed back in school!! We do not automatically receive the MAWD results. You need to give them to us.

· JOCO Schools only accept COVID PCR and Molecular tests.

o Please verify prior to your child being tested that it is only done with a PCR or Molecular test.

· All Test results sent to us MUST contain original lab results, the students name and date of birth, and test type (PCR or Molecular).

· We DO NOT accept a doctor’s note stating a COVID PCR or molecular test was negative.

o Only the original lab report is accepted per the JOCO Health department.

Return to School Date for Students Quarantined or with a Positive COVID test:

· The JOCO Health department and/or DeSoto District Health Department Liaison will tell you your child’s return to school date.

· Riverview Nurses can’t allow your child to return to school till that date has been communicated directly to us by the District Liaison or the JOCO Health department.

o Please consult with us prior to dropping your child off at school on their first eligible return date. If we haven’t confirmed with you their return to school date your student cannot attend class, if they arrive at school they will be pulled form class and sent home for the day.

Doctors Notes: How to obtain a properly written return to school note! This seems like an easy thing, but we call physician’s offices daily requesting a properly written note. We can’t let your child back into the building if the return to school note does not contain the proper information.

Properly written Doctor’s note (as accepted by JOCO Health department and District):

All doctor’s notes must have a diagnosis stated, be signed by the doctor, and have the student’s name and DOB.

· Ex: Susie Smith was seen in our office today for a sore throat and runny nose, and diagnosed with strep throat. Student may return to school when fever free and on antibiotics for 24-hrs.

An Improperly Written Doctors Note:

· Susie Smith was seen in our office today for a sore throat, may return to school when fever free.

o This will be rejected because there is no diagnosis.

· Student was seen in our office today for a sore throat, COVID PCR test was negative.

o This will be rejected because there is no diagnosis given.

o This will be rejected because a copy of the actual lab results were not provided.

DO NOT send your child to school unless Nurse Emily or Nurse Jodi have reviewed lab results and/or the doctor’s return to school note!!

o If we don’t have COVID PCR test results or a properly written doctor’s note in hand before your child comes to school, your child will be pulled from class and sent home until the proper documentation is received. This is a stressful situation for you and your child. We don’t like having to pull a healthy student from class.

COVID Symptoms: Students are sent home or excluded from school if they have one primary or two secondary symptoms of COVID.

Primary Symptoms

· New Cough

· Difficulty Breathing

· Loss of Taste/Smell

Secondary Symptoms

· Fatigue

· Congestion

· Fever or chills (staff & Jr/Sr. High students)

· Runny Nose

· Nausea

· Vomiting

· Diarrhea

· Fever or Chills

· Sore Throat

· Headache

· Muscle Ache or Body Aches

This week's top tips for cold weather success:

• Putting your child's name on the tag of their sweatshirt or coat helps us get them reunited when those items get separated from your child's body. Check out the pics below of lost items currently residing in the school office.
• If there is snow on the playground, we might just play in it. Gloves are a good idea!
• Coats and hats and gloves are all available for your children if needed (not to borrow, but to keep) so please reach out if your family could use a boost!

Parent Helpers Needed

The RE staff is stretched thin these days and could really use some extra help with the morning and afternoon car loops! Please consider signing up for a slot!

https://www.signupgenius.com/go/4090C4DABAC2AAB9-carloop

If you cannot help with the car loop, another great way to support the staff is to help them out with school supplies (items like new pencils, expo markers, construction paper, clorox wipes)! You can ask your teacher for their most-needed items or check out their Amazon Wish Lists.

Sweetheart Dance Date Change

Out of an abundance of caution, we have rescheduled the Sweetheart dance for Friday, March 4th from 6-8pm. Stay tuned for more details about this fun event!

Glory Days and Skate Night

Thank you for supporting our Skate Night and Glory Days Pizza fundraisers! We raised $124 from Skate City and $450 from Glory Days. We are so appreciative of these local businesses and their generosity!

Staff Appreciation

The PTA wanted to treat our wonderful staff to some tasty drinks and Sonic on Shawnee Mission Parkway was kind enough to donate all of these beverages!
