Harvest Parade
All-School Harvest Festival
 
Tuesday, October 31, 2017

Costumes may be brought to school in a bag and must require no assistance to put on and put on over clothes. We ask that parents monitor student costumes to make sure they are appropriate for a school event.
  • No Scary Weapons
  • No Weapons
  • No Make-Up
Friendly Reminder about Parking
Parking can be a challenge especially at events like the upcoming Harvest Parade.  Unfortunately, there is no perfect solution.  We can't create a bigger lot and have limited resources beyond what's available.  We have been made aware that many times during Stillwater events, vehicles do park in No Parking Zones and we want to make sure we not only are able to have everyone attend that wants to join us, but that everyone is as safe as possible.  Please be aware of No Parking Zones, residential driveways and fire hydrant zones.  When King County Right Of Way access areas (walkways, etc.) are not adhered to, this could lead to ticketing or your vehicle being towed.  We certainly wouldn't want that to be the way an event is ended at one of our events.  We have worked with the Stillwater church and they have allowed us use of their parking lot which has a trail to walk to the school.  This does allow an extra 35 spots.  Please use extra caution when walking on the roads, especially as it gets darker earlier.  Another option is to carpool.  If all of your neighbors are planning on going, save some fuel and work together to have a fun parade. 

The Book Fair is Coming!
The Scholastic Book Fair is right around the corner, November 13-21st! We NEED your help to make this event successful! If you are interested in helping out during the Book Fair, please sign up for a time slot(s) by clicking HERE!
 
The students LOVE the Scholastic Book Fair and proceeds from this event help provide great titles for our Stillwater Library and individual classrooms! Thank you in advance! Get a head start on your Christmas shopping at the Book Fair!

Weapons
State Law (RCW 28A-600.420 and School District Policy 3200 prohibit the possession of firearms and weapons at school.  This law pertains to guns, knives, clubs, firecrackers, and explosives.  Dangerous weapons also include toy or "dummy" or look-alike objects.  The full text of the law and the definitions of dangerous weapons, as provided RCW9.41.250 and RCW 9.41.280, are on file in the school office.  Possession of firearms on school property will result in a one year mandatory expulsion, subject to appeal with notification to parents and law enforcement. Any violations of these guidelines by students constitutes grounds for expulsion from the Riverview School District and the public schools of the State of Washington and Board Policy.
Nondiscrimination

Gavigan, 425-844-4500) and Section 504/ADA Coordinator (Dr. Ken Heikkila, 425-844-4500) at 15510 1st Ave. NE, Duvall, WA 98019hington, in accordance with the due process provisions of Washington State Law and Board Policy.
