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

River Bend will be hosting a second town hall event to provide information and answer questions related to potential construction projects in the district.  This will be held at 6:00 on Wednesday, September 10 in the River Bend Middle School gymnasium.  The meeting will be livestreamed on Facebook for those who cannot attend in person. 

Dear River Bend Families,

Each year I provide a brief update of items, staff, and building additions new to our district.  Please see the attached letter to read about new items in the River Bend District.

Wishing all a great 25-26 school year,

Darryl Hogue

What's New, River Bend: 2025-2026 

Dear River Bend Families, Staff, and Communities,

The River Bend Board of Ed is seeking input on addressing the desire to offer PE everyday, athletic space shortages, and create a space for our performing arts programs by adding spaces to each building.  

The following link provides information and answers questions that arose from the public meeting in May when the projects were first presented.  A survey link is also embedded in the Q and A to provide additional information.

The Board of Education and the administration will continue to provide updates and information as the school year begins.  Your input is valuable as the Board considers the best solution to the address the building and expansion needs.

Thank you for the input,

Darryl Hogue and Kelli Parsons
