Mission
Statement:
At Riverview, our "basic school" mission is to guarantee that ALL students
learn to their full potential and produce quality work. It is our job as
teachers and parents to create those "connections" that develop a sense of
community, character and life-long learning. We strive to create a school
climate that reinforces the "3 R's" of respect, responsibility and
resourcefulness.
Educational
Program:
Riverview offers a PreK-5 core curriculum program
that focuses on providing students with a "basic school" foundation in language
arts, mathematics, science, social studies, music, physical education, art and
educational technology/information literacy. At the end of grade five, we expect
all of our students to be able to demonstrate their competency with the state
standards in each of these areas as well as the foundation skills of respect,
responsibility, and resourcefulness.
Our program
includes:
-
A school-wide focus on literacy with Title I and Read Naturally support
programs.
- A K-5 standards-based math program with the Accelerated Math computer
program in Gr.3-5.
- A full-day kindergarten program.
- A full-day, four day a week integrated preschool program.
- A "SUCCESS" model for providing early interventions to support students'
learning needs prior to referral for special education services.
- A K-5 resource program to support students with identified academic and/or
behavior needs.
- A K-5 O.W.L.S. program to provide advanced academics and enrichment for
students in language arts and math.
- A school-wide counseling program that includes a full time counselor and
part time social worker to support students and families.

families.
- A Partner In Education Coordinator who provides services to families and
coordinates volunteer activities.

Services:

special-needs students through our K-5 resource and center-based special
education programs as well as Title I to assist students in achieving

students who are of limited English proficiency. Riverview has a full-time
elementary counselor and a Teacher Assistance Team that assists our teachers in
