Dear Riverview Families,
On behalf of our amazing team of educators, it is my honor to welcome you to the 2024-2025 school year! We have a lot to celebrate, a lot to be grateful for, and a lot to look forward to!
At Riverview, we see education as a partnership between our students, our educators, our families, and our community. The primary goal of our partnership is to prepare each student for success, both now and in future. As a school, our first priority is academic growth and achievement. We are excited to have the opportunity to work together to prepare students to excel in high school, in college, and in life. Additionally, we prepare students in ways that go beyond academics. As adults, we know that persevering through obstacles and learning from our mistakes matters. We know that making positive connections and collaborating with others to solve problems matters. We know that thinking critically and seeking solutions matters. And, we know that being a good person and positively contributing to our community matters. At Riverview, we are dedicated to all aspects of our students’ development, and this is evident in our school’s vision statement:
At Riverview, we create a collaborative partnership to value and support all students,
staff, family, and community. All learners will believe in their power to excel and own their
future so that they can contribute to the world. We champion the personal gifts of each
student helping them develop a sense of self and their place in the world.
In order for all of us to fulfill this vision, I have a few requests:
Attendance: Please help your students get to school on time each and every day. Our teachers design lessons that build upon one another to prepare students to learn deeply. Simply put, students who attend school every day get better every day.
Communication: Please keep lines of communication open between your child and learn what is going well. Communicate with our teachers and with administration. We will do the same.
Family Engagement: Please volunteer to support our educators and our work throughout the day. Check your student’s attendance and grades. Attend extracurricular events and support the efforts of our amazing students and educators. Join our incredible PTCO or our School Accountability Committee. Your voice matters!
Support: Please review our Student/Family Handbook with your student, and ensure they meet the expectations outlined by our policies and procedures. Our handbook helps to support learning, promote safety, and minimize distractions in our school.
As a team of educators, we are dedicated to the success of each and every child, each and every day. Thank you for entrusting us with the education of your children. We Rise Above and Rise Together!
Sincerely,
John Dumbleton
Principal-Riverview PK-8

Parent Portal
At Riverview we continue to strive to make information easily accessible to families and reduce our paper usage. All parents in the Thompson School District are asked to have a parent portal account. If you are new to our district you will receive an email with a temporary username and password. You can then set up your account at https://thompsonco.infinitecampus.org/campus/portal/thompson.jsp You may also access your Parent Portal through the Parent Resources button on the TDS website. If you need assistance with accessing or setting up your Parent Portal account, please email portal@thompsonschools.org . As parents of students, you can update basic student information and parent contact data, view report cards and complete your Annual Family Update yearly registration.
Parent Portal Set Up Instructions (Spanish Version)
Reporting Absences
Parents and guardians can now log in to their Infinite Campus Parent Portal site to notify school staff of an expected student absence. This will ensure the authenticity of reported absences, while also providing families with improved communication when a student misses class.
Click here to learn how to request an absence.
While families may continue to request absences by calling their school's attendance line, completing the process via the Infinite Campus Parent Portal is recommended for a faster experience.
For questions, please contact portal@tsd.org.
Nutrition Services
Free/Reduced Meals:
All families are asked to fill out an application. Why? The Healthy School Meals for All (HSMA) program is funded in partnership with federal nutrition programs that rely on income information to support meals for all students. Other state and federal grants are awarded based on free and reduced meal eligibility rates.
Additionally, families that qualify may receive discounted or waived fees for programs/fees/sports inside and outside of the school district. Applications are available to all households at school sites and online at www.myschoolapps.com.
Applications need to be completed annually (after mid-July) for the new school year. The information provided on the application is confidential and is not shared without your consent.
