Summer Trainings
The district is excited about the training our teachers and staff are participating in this summer to help our students succeed in reading and math. We have various professional developments scheduled for teachers to continue to grow their understanding of the Science of Reading and math concepts, such as problem-solving to enable students to develop and apply problem-solving skills across the fi ve strands of number and operations, algebra, geometry, measurement, and statistics and probability. The district is also on the cutting edge of creating“ Behavior Coaches” in each building to help classroom teachers with a growing number of issues. Selected teachers will participate in various in person trainings to work on behavior ideas to bring back to the classroom. They will have completed over 90 hours of work in this area to become certifi ed as a behavior coach in each of our buildings. We appreciate our staff who have chosen to spend time this summer improving themselves and our district.
Food Service Department s we conclude another exciting school year for RV Food Service, we eagerly anticipate the upcoming year with a series of improvements. ne of the key changes will be the renovation of the lunch line at River View High School, which is expected to be completed before the ummer ends, funded by River View Food Service.
enus will be accessible online and via a mobile app, providing students, parents, and administrators with the ability to check information rom anywhere and on any device. This new software will enable users to print menus, create meals( nutrition facts), fi lter options for allerens and dietary preferences, switch languages, and much more.
e have been careful in selecting appropriate meal options for each grade level to align with children’ s nutrition guidelines, focusing on an ncreasing variety of made-from-scratch meals, along with fresh fruits and vegetables. Each school building will offer distinct menus, curated y the head cook of that location.
he link for My School Menus will be available one week before the start of school and will be posted on the River View Website under the ood Service section.
iver View Food Service is hiring substitute cooks for SY25-26. If you are interested, please fi ll out the application available on the District ebsite and email it to jovelyn. metz @ rvbears. org.

Bus drivers re deep-cleaning their buses and making a list of repairs for the mechanics to fi x. The mechanics are busy etting all of the buses ready for inspections by the Ohio State Highway Patrol. Buses are checked from top to ottom and front to back for any mechanical issues that may prevent them from receiving the approval sticker.
In the office, next year’ s routes are being planned and mapped. Newly enrolled kindergarten students are being assigned buses and graduating seniors are being removed from their assigned buses. Calendars are being coordinated and summer training is taking place. Preparations for the new school year are already being made.
