Happy Friday, Raiders!
It’s been an exciting first few of weeks here at Riverview, and we couldn’t be more proud of how our students have smoothly transitioned back into the rhythm of school life. Even though the weather feels like summer, the energy and focus inside our classrooms is all about growth and learning.
We’ve already seen students showing great enthusiasm, not only in their academic classes but also in their extracurricular activities. From Cross Country running and volleyball tryouts to golf, our students are embracing opportunities to get involved, stay active, and represent our school community with pride. Our NAX hockey students have hit the ice and the golf course, training for their upcoming season. Enjoy traveling to the rink in your shorts while it lasts!
In our classrooms, students are diving into new subjects, collaborating on projects, and exploring fresh ideas. The CTF (Career and Technology Foundations) courses are buzzing with creativity and hands-on learning, giving students a chance to discover and build important life skills.
We are also so proud of how our students are demonstrating respect for one another and their environment. Whether it’s lending a hand to a fellow student, working as a team during sports, or engaging in thoughtful discussions, our students are showing the positive spirit we value so much.
The start of a new school year always brings the promise of growth, and we’re excited to see how each student will continue to develop and thrive as the year progresses. Thank you for your ongoing support, and let’s keep this positive momentum going as we work together for a fantastic year ahead!

School Verification Forms
School Verification Forms
As the 2024-25 school year gets underway, it’s important the school and Division have correct information on file in the student record. It is available NOW on your parent portal. All families are required to complete a Correction and Verification Form for each student by November 30, 2024.
Access the form through the PowerSchool Parent Portal by clicking the Correction and Verification Form tab in the left-hand menu. Review and submit updates for each child linked in your account. Be sure to review all information, paying particular attention to phone numbers and email addresses as well as the emergency contacts on file. If you’ve recently moved, this is also where you’ll update your address information.
Completing the form is easy and takes only a few minutes. Simply, review the form and each of its sections, make revisions where required, and then select “Submit” for school office staff to review. Even if you don’t have any changes to make, when you “Submit,” the Division has a record that you’ve reviewed the data, and we know we still have the most up-to-date information on file for your child.
Step 1: Visit https://powerschool.blackgold.ca/public
Step 2: Login using your Parent Access Account.
Step 3: From the left-hand menu select “Student Enrollment Verification”.
Step 4: Confirm the information is correct for each of your children registered with Black Gold School Division.
Step 5: Repeat steps 1-4 for every one of your children registered within Black Gold School Division.
If you have questions about the form or are having trouble with your Parent Portal account, contact our office staff directly.
