Dear Riverdale Heights Families,


No School February 18 and 21: Because we did not have a snow day before February 11, there will be no school on February 18. There will also be no school on February 21 in honor of Presidents’ Day.

Student Illness: Thank you for not sending your child to school if he or she is sick. Please remember to call the office (not text or email) and provide 2 symptoms your child is experiencing when ill. We report daily to the Scott County Health Department. Please let the office know if your child has a communicable disease confirmed by a doctor. If your child tests positive for Covid please refer to the PV Family Handbook. Children must be fever free and vomiting free for 24 hours prior to returning to school. You can contact your school nurse any time with questions.

Elementary Conferences: We are excited to share your student's progress with you! Elementary Conferences will be held Thursday, February 24th - Tuesday, March 8th. Teachers have blocked availability over the course of those two weeks to meet with our families. Click here to register if you have yet to do so.

February 24th will serve as the district set night, with conferences being held from 3:30pm - 8:00pm. We would like to invite you to sign up for an onsite conference during that time. If that date is not possible for your family to come to the school, please look at the registration link and choose another time your teacher will be available. All conferences scheduled through the link will be held in person.

Should you need to schedule a virtual conference, please contact your teacher directly. This will allow the teacher time to create a virtual meeting link.
