The Roadrunner Review

October 14, 2022

Notes from the Principal

This month, we have continued to work on our behavior expectations in our common areas (cafeteria, hallway, and bathrooms). Students earn a Roadrunner Riches ticket if they are recognized as exhibiting these behaviors. As a school, we have set a goal of earning 10,000 Roadrunner Riches by the end of the month. If we meet this goal, we will have a school-wide celebration! As of this week, we currently have earned 6,131 tickets, it looks like we are on our way to meeting our goal!

Parent/Teacher Conference Sign-up is here!

Parent/teacher conferences are approaching and we have set up the following times for conferences this fall:

October 20th - 3:45 pm - 7:45 pm

October 26th - 12:30 pm - 7:30 pm


These nights will be evenings of scheduled, fifteen-minute conferences. We will once again be utilizing the PTCFast.com™website to facilitate this process. Please enter the following web address into your browser window to access the scheduling site:


https://ptcfast.com/schools/Riverview_Elementary_School_1


If you did not utilize the website to schedule your child’s fall conferences, you will be asked to create a login ID and password with the website and must provide a working email address prior to signing up for conferences. Once you have registered, you will then receive a confirmation email via an email from PTCFast.com™ with a link to schedule your conference day and time. You are able to schedule with your child’s classroom and encore teachers. If you do not have internet access or require interpreting services, please contact your child’s teacher to schedule conference times.


Due to the larger number of conferences, we are requesting that parents whose children live in more than one household work together to schedule one conference time for your child. We know this may not always be feasible, but it would be greatly appreciated if every effort could be made. If additional conferences are needed, we would wait until all families have had a chance to schedule at least one conference before assigning a second one. If your student sees more than one teacher for their core class curriculum, we have scheduled your conference for you and you will receive notification of the day and time.


If you are not comfortable attending your conference in person, we will happily schedule this meeting in a virtual manner. It will still be important that you schedule a time through the link provided so that we have a time reserved for you. We will then ask that you call school or contact your child’s teacher to indicate your preference for a virtual meeting. Your child’s teacher will send you a link to attend.


If you have questions or concerns prior to this meeting, please don’t hesitate to contact us. Thank you for being a part of the Riverview community, and we are looking forward to meeting with you!

Notes From The Health Office

Should your child become ill Please follow these guidelines from The Wausau School District:



  • Please know masks are optional within the district. If you would like to send your child to school with a mask you are welcome to do so.
  • If your child is sick ( Covid - 19 or something else) , please keep them home
  • If your child is showing Covid -19 symptoms , we recommend they get tested. We accept PCR, Rapid Antigen and Home tests.
  • If the test comes back negative, they can return to school when they are fever free for 24 hours without medication and improved symptoms.
  • If they test positive , we recommend that they quarantine for five days from onset of symptoms.



If positive the first day or their symptoms is considered Day 0. Once five days have passed, they are cleared to return to school on Day 6. When they return, we recommend they wear a mask until Day 10.


Please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns.


Thank you,

Jenny Glovinski Health Aide
