From the Principal
Riverbend Families,
We'd like to thank you for an amazing first 2 weeks of school! Student feedback has been very positive, and we are excited to see them settling into the Riverbend routine. We know there will always be situations that pop up occasionally. We are here to help with any questions you may have. Please feel free to call our office at (636) 271-1481. We look forward to partnering with you throughout this school year.
A few other quick reminders:
- Student drop off/pick up is at the rear entrance of the school during the following times:
- Morning: 7:00-7:30
Afternoon: 2:35-3:00
To ensure the safety of our students, please do not drive through the front parking lot during these times.
- With the heat of summer still hanging around, please help us by making sure your student is dressed appropriately for school. Please refer to the dress code on page 47 of our Riverbend Student Handbook. You can access it here: https://www.mvr3.k12.mo.us/page/parent-information
Nurse Notes
Dear Parent or Guardian,
State law and health regulations require students to be properly immunized and provide verification to attend school, unless they are exempt.
Please see the 2023-2024 Missouri School Immunization requirements below.
8th grade students are required to have a Tdap booster and Meningococcal vaccine prior to October 1st, 2023, or they will be excluded from school unless they have a religious or medical exemption form on file.
Please send your student's most recent updated vaccine record to Riverbend if you have done so.
If your student is missing their required vaccines, please call your provider or The Franklin County Health Department in Union, Missouri at 636-583-7300.
If you schedule an appointment and it is after October 1st, please send proof of appointment to the nurse at Riverbend so she is able to document your student "In Progress" for the state.
Vaccine records can be emailed, faxed, or turned into the office at Riverbend.
If you have any questions, please contact Riverbend's school nurse.

ELA Moments
In 8th grade English students started the year building relationships by creating personality boards. Each board was presented to their classes and posted in the hall.
Beta Club Information
Students that were inducted in to Beta Club last May or returning Beta Club members should log on to Google Classroom and accept their invitation to join the class. It is here where all of our service projects and upcoming announcements are made. For September we are asking that Beta Club members please bring in a box of tissues, sanitizing wipes, paper towels, cough drops, or Band-aides for all our students to use. You will need to bring in at least 2 of these items. Turn them into your Tribe teacher or the nurse, then turn in the assignment in the classroom to receive your service credit. This is due by September 29th.
Sports Schedule
We love to see our Riverbend students supporting each other at the various extracurricular activities around our district. Please note that all Riverbend students must be accompanied by an adult in order to attend an extracurricular event at any of our buildings around the district. Unaccompanied students will not be allowed to enter an event. If there are changes to game times, please check out the link below for additional information.
