Riverview families,
Virtual Learners Material Pick-Up at Riverview
Please remember to pick up your virtual learning materials here at Riverview. We have a handful of bags still here and our students do need these materials for virtual learning.
Parent Teacher Conferences
February 25th and March 4th - Look for more information and details from your child's teacher in the upcoming week. We will be utilizing PTC Fast as the platform for signing up for conferences. Parents will have an option of attending conferences in-person or virtual, please designate with signing up what your preference is. In addition, our in-person conferences will be limited to parents/guardians and the teacher. We ask that you do not bring in children to the conference in an effort to keep everyone safe and healthy.

Referendum Information
PARENT PICK-UP/drop-off
In addition, please remember to only use the front circle drive or the cul-de-sac (Carl Street) for pick-up and drop-off, unless you are a 4K parent. The north and south staff parking lot is not available for pick-up and drop-off.
Please see the below diagram for parent pick-up and drop-off areas.
Valentine's Day information
As we get closer to celebrating Valentine’s Day in a safe way, our Wausau School District Nurses have developed a protocol so that students who choose to participate in Valentine exchanges can do so safely. Please note the following safety plans for Riverview classes participating in Valentine exchanges:
Students can exchange cards and pre-packaged candy or trinkets.
Students need to bring any Valentines to school by Monday, February 8th.
Teachers will “quarantine” the bag of Valentines for each student until Thursday, February 11th.
Students will bring their Valentines home with them on Thursday, February 11th and can open them at home with the guidance of their parent/guardian.
Due to COVID precautions, we are not able to have shared food items at school such as cupcakes or other treats.
Families who would prefer to not have their child bring a bag of Valentines home on Thursday, February 11th should let their child’s teacher or the office know by Wednesday, February 10th.
Thank you for helping us have a safe and fun way to celebrate Valentine’s Day this year!
*Virtual students received a special valentine from the PTO in their virtual learning pick-up bags!
