The National Weather Service has issued a heat advisory and excessive heat watch for our area until 8 p.m. Tuesday. District 202 uses the following guidelines on days with extremely hot and or humid weather: • Recess/PE outdoors if the heat index is 90 degrees or below • Recess/PE indoors if the heat index is above 95 degrees The heat index takes into account both air temperature and relative humidity. If the heat index is between 91 degrees and 94 degrees principals can decide if students stay inside or go outdoors. Afterschool sports High and middle school athletic directors will communicate any changes to their communities. Please also watch middle and high school social media accounts for updates.

Picture Day is Coming! Mark your calendars for Thursday, Sept 5th!

River View Elementary School third graders made the most of the sunny weather and the new playground during recess on Friday. The inclusive playground was installed this summer. #202proud #funinsun

📚Thank you to the Asian Culture Association for donating these amazing books to our school library! We strive to provide diverse titles for our student population and appreciate these wonderful stories!!! 📚

Today 4th grade students in Mrs. Schultz's class experimented to see the relationship between energy and speed. Students took turns rolling the ball using very little energy. Student observers counted how many seconds it took for the ball to hit the wall. Then students rolled the ball a second time using more energy. Student observers again kept track of the time. Students observed that more energy increased the speed and made the ball bounce back.

The PTO Back to School Fair is underway! We have games, food trucks, a bouncy obstacle course and the Book Fair! We wrap at 7:30, so there is still time to come on down and join the fun!!!!!

This year the district is encouraging the implementation of restorative circles in our classrooms. Teachers received training on how to use this teaching strategy effectively. This will build class community, sense of belonging as it gives students a voice in their room, but it will eventually allow students to be empower to call a circle together themselves to discuss concerns that might impact their classroom. Having a dedicated 15 min SEL block at the start of everyone’s day helps to support this initiative and start our students’ off with their best foot forward! Everyone from Kinder to 5th is trying it out!!!

RV staff participated in some team bonding during the institute days earlier this week by way of tie dying their staff shirts. White shirts, rubber bands and dye were provided and staff got a chance to express their creative juices! We think the end results are beautiful!!!!

These 2nd graders are the very first group of students to officially do recess on our new playground! These faces tell me it's a PHENOMENAL experience!

This afternoon Mrs. Noser's second grade students participated in a team building activity called Save Fred. They used their problem solving skills to work collaboratively together and did a wonderful job!

Our 4th and 3rd graders got to have our ROAR expectations presentation during their specials time today. Our specials team utilized our new Promethean boards to show the students how to be Respectful, have Ownership, Act safely, and be Responsible (ROAR) in different areas of the school.

Happy First Day! Our Kindergarteners walked right in like they had been doing this for years!!!! They have all found their rooms, found their spots and are excited to start the day! Welcome back and have a FABULOUS day!!!
