  • Steamer Success Indicators

    River Bend Families,

    We're excited to announce a new initiative at the River Bend School District! On September 17, our School Board formally adopted five Steamer Success Indicators to help measure and support your child's growth.

    These indicators—CommunicationCritical ThinkingResponsibilityWellness, and Perseverance—go beyond traditional academic metrics. They are designed to ensure our students become well-rounded, innovative, and engaged members of our community and society. Throughout the 2024-2025 school year, students, staff, administrators, board members, and community members collaborated in a series of meetings to carefully develop the Steamer Success Indicators. We also incorporated valuable feedback from parent and community surveys to finalize this initial step.

    Our staff will be incorporating these indicators into our curriculum and daily activities through a phased plan, with a focus on helping every student succeed. We believe this initiative will better prepare all learners for a rapidly changing world.

    You'll be hearing more about the Steamer Success Indicators throughout the school year. We're committed to working together to help our students achieve their full potential.

    Sincerely,

    Dr. Darryl Hogue, Superintendent

    Kelli Parsons, Assistant Superintendent

  • Construction Update

    River Bend Families:
     
    We are very grateful for your input as the district considered the needs of our students, staff, and community.  After careful consideration and discussion, the district has decided to adjust its plans for upcoming construction projects. The new focus will be on adding a physical education classroom/space at RBMS and a multipurpose/wrestling space at FHS, as well as addressing necessary roof repairs at FHS, RBMS, and FES. 
     
    As the board, administrators and construction planning team worked through all the feedback, several points became clear. First, the community would like to see a less expensive option be considered.  Additionally, we learned that our roofs are currently eligible for a recoating process. The recoating option comes with the same warranty and life span as a new roof for 2 million less dollars.

    We remain committed to making fiscally responsible upgrades across our campuses. We appreciate those of you who responded to our surveys and attended the Town Hall events. At this point, the district is still determining the most appropriate timeline and best funding method for each project.

  • Reported Threat at FHS on 05/07/2025

    River Bend Families,

     

    Earlier this morning River Bend Administration was made aware of a threat posted on social media.  This post stated that “someone should bomb it”, referring to Fulton High School.  Immediately upon becoming aware of the threat the Administration along with the Fulton Police Department investigated and quickly determined that the threat was simply a hoax and an expression of frustration. 

     

     We greatly appreciate the students and staff that shared the information with the Administration so that the safety of all students, staff, and visitors could be addressed.   The River Bend administration and the Fulton PD will continue to monitor the situation and will provide updates if necessary.

     

    -- River Bend Administration

  • PowerSchool Cybersecurity Update

    To: River Bend CUSD 2 Families, Staff and Students,  
    Subject: PowerSchool Cybersecurity Update

     

    Dear families and educators of the River Bend community,

     

    We are writing to inform you of the latest updates regarding the recent cybersecurity incident involving PowerSchool, the software vendor that provides our Student Information System (SIS).

     

    Yesterday, January 29, 2025, PowerSchool initiated the process of notifying individuals whose information was determined to be involved.

     

    PowerSchool has engaged Experian, a trusted credit reporting agency, to provide complimentary identity protection and credit monitoring services to current and former students and educators that had information exfiltrated from PowerSchool SIS. PowerSchool is doing this regardless of whether an individual’s Social Security Number was exfiltrated. In the coming weeks, Experian (on behalf of PowerSchool) will be distributing direct email notifications to involved individuals (or their parent/guardian, as applicable) for whom PowerSchool has sufficient contact information.

     

    Additionally, PowerSchool has worked with Experian to set up a dedicated, toll-free call center to answer any questions associated with these offerings and the incident. All the information regarding the activation of and access to these services will be included in the email sent to you by Experian. 

     

    Whether or not you receive an email, you may also visit PowerSchool’s website to learn how to activate the offering from Experian, linked here: http://www.powerschool.com/security/sis-incident/notice-of-united-states-data-breach/.

     

    As a reminder, we encourage you to visit https://www.powerschool.com/security/sis-incident/ for up-to-date information on the cybersecurity incident. Protecting our students and teachers remains our top priority. Thank you again for all of your support and understanding during this time. We will continue to share more information from PowerSchool as it becomes available.

     

    Sincerely,
    Darryl Hogue, Supt. River Bend Schools
