That's a wrap! River View finished up their Field Days yesterday and had a BLAST! Not even a quick rain shower could spoil our fun! Thank you to all our volunteers who helped out and to our specials team for planning such an amazing two days!

River View Elementary School third graders pampered their moms and mother-figures on Friday during the annual Mother's Day Manicures event.







A belated thanks to all our School Lunch Heroes who make sure our students are fed. We appreciate YOU got all you do on May 3 - School Lunch Hero Day - and every day! #202proud


Today all grades got to participate in a Rock, Paper, Scissors tournament at recess. It was a fun way to enjoy this beautiful day! 🪨🗒️✂️






Today one of our Kindergarteners got a ride of a lifetime to school! One of Mrs Kandell's students won a trip to school in a Firetruck. She was greeted by her classroom, who all had an opportunity to check it out. This trip was won through the raffle baskets at the PTO Candy Bar Bingo. What a great way to start the week!!! 🚒







We had a marvelous night tonight at Candy Bar Bingo! In addition, families were able to put tickets in to raffle off donated baskets. We had a great turn out and some families went home with some cool prizes!!!











CAPE award winners, memorial for Tom Hernandez, and agenda for next week's Board of Education meeting in this week's Education Partners newsletter: https://psd202.edurooms.com/engage/plainfield-community-consolidated-school-district-202/newsletters/education-partners-for-04-19-2024

We are mourning the loss of Tom Hernandez longtime Director of Community Relations who passed away April 15, 2024.
Superintendent of Schools Dr. Glenn Wood said Hernandez was a thoughtful, caring person representing District 202 proudly and professionally.
“Tom Hernandez was a true champion for District 202 and was well known for his professionalism, positive attitude, and big heart. He was known as “The Voice” of 202 because he made the school cancellation phone calls and often served as emcee for district and other events. Hernandez’s legacy is one of compassion and community. He will be deeply missed.”

Mr McNabb is making the most of this beautiful day and teaching jump rope coordination skills to his third graders outside. He just couldn't help but get involved himself!!!







More Eclipse viewing pictures!











RV students and staff got to go outside and experience a near total eclipse today. Here are a few shots of our students enjoying the view with their special glasses! 🌖🌗🌘🌑🌒🌓🌔











Assistant Principal Appreciation week was apparently this week. We had it on our calendar for NEXT week. So, oh darn, we will celebrate Mrs. Gawla for TWO weeks instead of one (she is doubly amazing though, so it is fitting isn't it?!?!)
This flyer will be coming home with students today, but if your child would like to participate in some fun dress up days, I think Mrs. Gawla would love it! Thanks for all your support!


We value and appreciate all our school librarians today on National School Librarian Day and all days! District 202 appreciates your hard work and dedication to your job! #202proud


Per Gov. JB Pritzker, flags at all District 202 buildings will fly at half staff until sunset Thursday to honor and remember DeKalb County Sheriff's Deputy Christina Musil who died in the line of duty on March 28.

Yesterday, FBI went out to Dunkin Donuts for breakfast. Everyone enjoyed getting to choose exactly what they wanted to eat and drink! Fun way to end before Spring Break!









What better way to wrap up the day than with an earned fort day! Mrs Rodriguez's 3rd grade class brought blankets in and learned in the floor for the last part of the day. This was an incentive her students earned for great behavior. Way to go!











Today being the last day before Spring Break, some of our teachers participated in a "Freaky Friday Teacher Swap" where those who chose to participate were randomly assigned a new room to teach in for an hour. From 3rd grade teachers in K classes, to an Assistant Principal in 5th, fun times were had by all!











Another experience from the School Store was cashed in today. Decorating cookies with Mrs Smith! It was a delicious reminder of what following the ROAR expectations can earn us here at RV!






Mrs. Harper offered an experience to students to spend time with her building bird feeders. The students who chose her experience had a great time and I think the birdhouses turned out beautiful!
