From the Desktop of Mr. Joseph
River View is off to a fantastic start with the kids doing a fabulous job getting back into the school routine, reconnecting with friends and engaging in their learning. I am excited for the adventures we will be going on as the year unfolds.
One of those adventures will be the District and River View’s continued work with Master Planning. The River View Action Team has been working for some time now and we very much look forward to sharing with you and the community on October 10th and 16th, our ideas for safety upgrades, improvements in parking and traffic flow and creating more equitable learning environments for all students. Thank you for watching for more specific information in the near future about these presentations as we want your feedback as we continue working through the Master Planning process.
If you have specific questions about the presentations or the Master Planning process please contact me at 766-6111.
Thank you for your continued support for River View and the Kaukauna District.

Middle School is a key period in a young person's development. Keeping students engaged in school at this critical time helps propel them forward to a successful career. We realize that some of these important conversations about careers and the future are happening at home, and we want to provide you with options available for your middle school student.
This event will help you have a better understanding of the ACP (Academic Career Planning) process, how our business community can connect with our students (INSPIRE) and what the workforce will look like for your middle school student. We invite parents, students and our business community to join us as we work together to help navigate the path for our middle school students.
One of the historic challenges students have faced when focusing on career options, is that the process didn't begin until after graduation. K-12 schools in our area are working to change that. "Schools are focusing much earlier on how we can help students to think differently about their learning" stated Kelli Clussman, Executive Director, Heart of the Valley Chamber of Commerce, "we are working with our School Districts to connect them with our business community to help students with targeting more on where their a skills are, where their career passions are and how they can connect that to post-secondary education."
This fundraiser is the primary one for our PAC and helps support academic resources, offset field trip bussing expenses, One Book One School project, staff meals at Parent Teacher Conferences and our Community Service day. This year PAC is also hoping to support the school with flexible seating/furniture for the library and Fabrication lab we are developing. The funds raised will also help offset cost for a culture and climate project to promote kindness throughout the school.

Absence Procedures
Each student has the responsibility to attend school regularly and to report to school and scheduled classes on time. Students who attend class regularly not only do better in class but also reinforce lifelong work skills by arriving each day on time. Wisconsin Statutes 118.15 and 118.16 establish the ultimate responsibility for regular school attendance with each student’s parents. The parent of a student is responsible for reporting any absences, the cause, and if required, for sending information upon the student’s return.It is the parent's responsibility to call the attendance office by 8:30 am to report the absence and state the reason. Call the attendance line at 759-6159, and then press 6. Messages can be left 24 hours a day. Prompt notification to the school is necessary. Students who are not called in by 8:30 am will be marked as unexcused. Prearranged absences can be made by calling the attendance office at 759-6159 (press 6) for the attendance recorder. Prearranged makeup of missed class work may be arranged by notifying the attendance office of any anticipated absences. Students appearing as unexcused from class or study hall will be ineligible to practice, perform, attend, or compete in any co-curricular activity on the day of the unexcused absence. Students who miss class or study hall due to illness, will be ineligible to practice, perform, attend, or compete in any co-curricular activity on the day of the illness.

Truancy
Truancy means a student is absent from school without an acceptable excuse. "Habitual Truant" is defined by Wisconsin State Statute, section 118.16(1) (a) and (c) as a pupil who is absent without an acceptable excuse for part or all of five or more days on which school is held during a trimester. Once a student is habitually truant, a letter will be sent for a parent(s) meeting to be held regarding the truancy, prior to referring the student to the Municipal Court of the City of Kaukauna or the Juvenile Intake of the county in which the student resides. A municipal citation may be issued to any student who is truant subject to Municipal Statute 9.27. Truancy Court is held on campus monthly.
Extended Absences/Vacation Guidelines:
We understand that time spent together as a family and that vacations can be an important part of family life. However, the instructional process does not stop when students are not at school, and lost instructional time cannot be recovered or recreated. Therefore, we strongly encourage families to schedule vacations around the existing school vacation days. If you must schedule a trip or other extended absence that will occur during scheduled school days, please follow these guidelines:
The student must have a pre-arranged absence form signed by his/her teachers and parent(s) and returned to the office secretary before the absence occurs. Pre-arranged absence forms are available in the school office and on our website. This will allow us to excuse your child from school and keep accurate attendance records.
Homework often cannot be prepared in advance, because the purpose of homework is to provide practice and review of skills taught in the classroom. Your child’s teacher may be able to prepare some work in advance with ample advance notice of the absence. However, additional work may be assigned when your child returns. (See Make-Up Work During or Following an Absence below for more information.)
Try to minimize the pre-vacation excitement for your child to reduce the instructional time lost due to distraction and excitement.
Make-Up Work During or Following an Absence:
If parents anticipate their child will be out of school more than two days, they are encouraged to phone the school office (766-6111) and request homework which may be picked up at the end of the day or brought home by a family member. Students should make up work missed as a result of an absence and will be responsible to arrange for make-up work. The amount of make-up work will be reasonable and commensurate with the situation, with emphasis on quality rather than quantity. Consideration for make-up work will be made for students absent from classes as a result of field trips or special in-school arrangements since they are involved in an educational experience.
Study Smarts
Your child attends school every day, is well behaved in class, and completes their homework. Why aren’t their grades better? Middle Years, a publication newsletter designed for parents with children in middle school, offers the following suggestions to guide your child toward developing excellent study skills.Be Active. Explain the difference between studying and “active studying”. Reading their textbook is studying; writing an outline as they read the material is active studying. Other ideas include: jotting down facts and dates, highlighting important information, and reciting vocabulary definitions, names, and formulas on tape and playing them back. The more senses (hearing, touching, and seeing) your child uses, the more they will remember.
Make choices. Help your child decide where, when, and how to study – depending on how they learn best (seeing it, hearing it, or working with it). Do they focus better with the door open or closed? Can they concentrate more after school or after dinner? Are they more productive studying alone or with a buddy?
Helping them figure out what study habits work best for them will help them achieve their best.
Stay on Course. Have your child write out a weekly study schedule. They can block out times for each subject, quiz, or test. Encourage them to monitor their schedule and revise it as needed. Explain to your child, “A schedule is a plan, not a contract”. They will see that having a plan will keep them on track.
Keys to Success
You can set your child up for success this school year with some basic pointers. Show your child this checklist, and you’ll help him/her get off on the right foot:· I attend school every day unless I’m sick, and I get there on time.
· I get 8 – 10 hours of sleep each night.
· I eat a healthy breakfast in the morning.
· I pay attention in class.
· I write down my assignments for each subject.
· I start my projects when I get them.
· I complete my homework on time.
· I read for pleasure each day.
7th & 8th Grade Math Study Tips
Frequently as math teachers, we hear, "I don't study for math tests because you can't." As you may know, this is false. Here are a few tips to help students study for math tests and quizzes.1. Students can review their notes and quiz themselves on key vocabulary and the steps for solving problems.
2. Practice problems. Students can review by completing the odd problems from the sections covered and checking their answers in the "selected answers" part of their book. If they are getting problems incorrect, they can ask a teacher or parent for help in correcting their mistakes.
3. On the "Big Ideas" website, students can find practices, quizzes, and test. Again, they should seek out help if they are not doing well on these. The website also has many skill builders and review games.
4. Many teachers have websites linked to "Google Classroom." Utilize these sites, practice videos and other resources to help you study.
**As always if you have having difficulties check in with your math teacher for extra assistance. Do not wait until the quiz or test to ask for help.
Red Ribbon Week
October is Alcohol, Tobacco, and Other Drug Abuse Prevention Month. Various prevention activities will be taking place in Kaukauna Schools throughout the month. We will celebrate Red Ribbon Week during the week of October 22-24 to promote prevention and encourage healthy decisions relating to this issue both in the schools and in the community. The red ribbon has come to symbolize a commitment to healthy, drug-free lifestyles. Raising children in a drug-free community is everybody’s responsibility!
River View will have the following dress up days:
Monday, October 22— "Teaming up Against Drugs is NO Sweat": Wear your favorite sweats/team apparel.
Tuesday, October 23—“Sock it to Drugs". Wear Crazy Socks
Wednesday, October 24— “Unite Against Drugs:” Everyone Wear Red !
As a parent or guardian, here are other things you can do to promote and encourage healthy decisions during Red Ribbon Week and throughout your child’s life:
- Be a positive role model by maintaining healthy habits in your everyday life in regards to alcohol, tobacco, or other drugs.
- Encourage your child to participate in drug prevention activities at school or in your community. These may be during Red Ribbon Week in October or at other times of the year.
- Have dinner together.
- Educate yourself on the latest information on tobacco, alcohol, and other illicit drugs and how they can destroy your family and community. Visit the website for this information.
- Explain to your child that the most important choices you can make are those that keep you healthy and safe.
- Encourage your child to take responsibility for saying “NO” to drugs and “YES” to healthy and fun activities.
- Keep communication open. Create an atmosphere where your child feels free to talk to you when he or she has a problem.
- Build your child’s self-esteem. Spend time together and let your child know that your love is constant. Praise your child’s achievements as well as efforts to do his or her best. The stronger your child’s self-esteem, the more likely he or she will be to choose healthy activities and refuse to use drugs!
- Talk to your children about the dangerous effects of alcohol, tobacco and other drugs.

If you plan to have your child ride home with you from any co-curricular event, please be sure to complete and submit a travel release form at least 24 hours prior to the event.
