Please call the school office at 425-844-4680 to report and absence or leave a message at any time. You may also email the office at swattendance@rsd407.org. Remember to state the reason for your absence. If your student is ill, please give specific details as the state requires us to report illness symptoms. If you do not report your student's absence to the Stillwater office, we will consider the absence unexcused. We do make "safe arrival" calls when we have absent students who have not been reported. Always call the school office, even if you have spoken to your student's teacher.

For Morning Drop-Off: Buses unload students in Loop #1, the bus loop just right of the entrance. Parent Drop Off is located in Loop #2, in the front of the school. Drop Off begins at 9:15 a.m. Please stay in your vehicle at all times when dropping off your child. If the drop off loop is full of cars, parents will be directed to park their vehicle and wait until there is room in the loop to drop off their child. All students make their way to the back of the school to line up with their classes. KEY POINTS: Parent Drop Off begins at 9:15 a.m. There is no adult supervision in the back of the school until that time. No cars in the bus loop. Loop #2 in front of the school is the designated drop off spot for all students not riding the bus or walking to school.

For Afternoon Pick Up: Students riding the bus are loaded in the bus loop, Loop #1. Students walking are released to walk home. Safety guards ensure students cross safely. Parents may also park their vehicle and make their way to the front office to await their child's arrival. Students being picked up by parents wait in the back of the school while parents are directed to drive around the building. When the parent arrives in the back of the school, please pull forward to load your child(ren) on the right side of the car. Parents exit by turning left (the busses will be to the right) and go out the opposite direction of the busses. We will no longer have name placards or be calling names. Students need to watch for their vehicle.

If you have any questions about bus transportation, routes, pick up or drop off times please contact the Transportation Office at 425-844-4540.

Please keep your student home from school when they are sick. In addition to cold and flu season, we also remain in the COVID-19 pandemic. Symptoms of all of these can look the same. Children especially can present with very mild COVID-19 symptoms. We cannot assume that cold symptoms are “just a cold.” If your child experiences any of the following symptoms, please keep them home from school and reach out to your nurse for further guidance about their return to school. We will also reach out if your child has any of these symptoms while at school. Congestion or runny nose Nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea Headache Fatigue Sore throat Cough (new, worsening, or changed) Fever or chills Shortness of breath or difficulty breathing Muscle or body aches New loss of taste or smell The guidance we are required to follow comes from Washington State Department of Health. If suggested, we recommend getting your symptomatic child tested for COVID-19 as soon as possible. This may help your child get back to school sooner and it also helps us respond quickly if they DO test positive. Please be sure to notify the office if your child will be absent. For additional health information, you may contact our District Nurse, Cortney Nachreiner, at 425-844-4698.

Washington State Department of Health recently updated its COVID-19 school and child care guidance on August 5, 2022. Following these safety measures reduces the spread of COVID-19. This communication further explains how the updated guidance impacts your family and the greater Riverview community. CLICK HERE FOR UPDATED COVID GUIDANCE

The Riverview School District recognizes that many parents would like to play a greater role in their student's education. To make it easier for you to get involved we are providing you with the ability to view your individual student's school information anytime via a password protected secure website. Parents of Riverview students can view their student's Schedule, Assignments, Grades, Attendance, (Tolt and Cedarcrest) and other General Student Information. (Elementary) The "Web Portal" that makes this possible is called "Family Access" (Skyward) and is available at this link: http://family.riverview.wa-k12.net.

Riverview offers an exciting new program to pay for various school fees online. e-Funds for Schools offers options for parents/guardians who choose to make payments on-line and is extremely user friendly. Not only will you have the ability to have school fees and meal payments electronically withdrawn from your checking account or charged to your credit card, you also have the flexibility to make a payment at any time through the link below. The e-Funds For Schools service is offered by a third party service provider who charges for processing your payment(s), similar to other on-line banking services. The district does not request or keep records of family checking or credit card account information. Online payments will be processed each morning at 6:30am. Payments made after 6:30am will be posted to the following day. Please plan ahead when making food service payments. We will no longer accept credit/debit card payments over the phone for meal payments. If you are interested in using eFunds to pay for student fees or lunch payments you will need your student ID # and the four digit Family ID# which is located in Family Access under the "Student Information" tab.
