Dear River Bend Families,

We are tracking the weather once again and want to provide a quick update.  At present the snow impact looks to be minimal and the snow we get should end around 4 AM.  But if for some reason mother nature decides not to cooperate, and we need to have a late start, we will cancel the early release scheudled for tomorrow Wednesday March 18h.

If school starts on time we will continue with our early release day.

This decision cannot be made until tomorrow morning. 

Our weather looks promising by the end of the week. 

 Stay safe and warm,

Darryl Hogue

Dear River Bend Families,

Due to the winter blizzard warning tomorrow morning through mid-day River Bend will conduct a remote learning day.  Any after school activities will be cancelled, and no WACC.  A schedule for each building is linked below. Building principals will reach out with further instructions, if necessary.

Please be safe and stay warm,

Darryl Hogue

Dear River Bend Families,

The National Weather Service is predicting a significant storm that will bring accumulating snow, strong winds, and near blizzard conditions Sunday night through Monday morning. As such, teachers have prepared students for the possibility of an e-learning day on Monday, including sending home Chromebooks for our older students. IAR testing scheduled for Monday will be rescheduled for Thursday should we have an e-learning day.  If we are in attendance in person Monday, it will be imperative for students to bring their Chromebooks back to school with them as testing will occur as scheduled. If we have an e-learning day Monday, please be certain students bring their Chromebooks back on Tuesday as testing is also planned for Tuesday. 

Unfortunately, determination for an e-learning day or a late start may not be possible until as late as early Monday morning. This allows enough time to make the best decision for the safety of all families in our district. 

Please stay warm and safe,

Darryl Hogue

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—Communication, Critical Thinking, Responsibility, Wellness, 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
