It has been a great start to the school year at RMS! Thank you to all staff, students and families for helping build a strong foundation to the school year.
It’s been a busy and exciting week here at Riverview!
CTF Options: Our Junior High students are diving into their CTF classes, exploring everything from Band and Art to Stop Motion and Foods. Meanwhile, our Grade 5/6 students are staying active and engaged with athletics, foods, and outdoor education.
Science in Action: Grade 9 Science students took their learning outdoors this week, exploring natural selection through hands-on lab activities in the field.
Athletics: Raider athletics are off to a great start! Volleyball, Jr. High golf, and cross country are in full swing, with our Golf Tournament happening next Thursday in Wetaskiwin. A huge shout-out to our amazing staff for volunteering their time to coach and support our student athletes.
Leadership: Our Leadership students are hard at work planning and promoting the upcoming Terry Fox Walk on September 26. We’re excited to come together as a school community for this important cause.
🔔 Reminder: There is no school next Friday, September 19, as it is a Professional Development Day for staff.

School Verification Forms
School Verification Forms
Verification forms are now available on your Power School portal.
Why Verification Forms Matter:
Each year, it’s important for parents and guardians to update their child’s information in the PowerSchool portal. Completing these verification forms ensures that:
The school can reach you quickly in case of an emergency.
Health and medical information is accurate and up to date.
Custody and pick-up details are respected.
You receive important school updates and communications.
Records such as addresses and demographics support accurate programming and transportation.
Thank you for taking a few minutes to update your child’s information—it helps us keep your child safe, supported, and connected.

When the AQHI value reaches 7 or greater students are to be kept indoors, with the windows closed and HVAC systems running.; this includes all PE and Recess
