Determining Space and Program Availability

A school will be closed to school of choice/open enrollment and nonresident admission on an annual basis if enrollment is at or exceeds 95% of its capacity or is projected to reach 95% capacity within the following three years. Modular buildings will not be taken into consideration when determining availability of classroom space.  In addition, a grade level within a school may be closed to school of choice/open enrollment and nonresident admission on an annual basis if enrollment at that grade level is projected to exceed 95% of its capacity.

Apply for Choice Enrollment

A child’s age by October 1st is the determining age for school entrance.  If a child will be 5 by October 1st, they are eligible to begin kindergarten that school year.  In that same example, if a child will be 5 by October 1st, they are not eligible for early childhood.  Early Childhood serves 3- and 4-year-old students.

Riverview will be providing a before and after school program operated by the YMCA. For more information register with YMCA.

Riverview staff will be outside on playground/drop off duty beginning at 8:00 a.m. and 9:00 a.m. on Wednesdays.

You must be a registered volunteer to assist in a classroom setting or attend field trips.  If you are already an approved volunteer in our district, you will need to log into your account to have your school updated to Riverview.  Once approved, your volunteer badge will be sent to our school office for you to wear when you enter the building.
