Heart Activity Challenge
If your K-5 student participated in the optional American Heart Association Activity Challenge and needs to turn in their envelope, it can be dropped off at the Wednesday homework pick up (next Wed. Apr. 29). Monies raised will go back to the American Heart Association and students will receive prizes for their efforts. If you can not drop off your child’s envelope on Wed., please email Mrs. Speyer at hspeyer@rdfalcons.net to make other arrangements.
The National Guard joined us in Forest today with donated food from the West Ohio Food Bank! They helped us pass out boxes of food to some of our families. Boxes included fresh fruit, eggs, cereal, and other essentials. We would like to thank them for their service. #falconpride

A message from Coach Bostic:
At first base #14 Ethan Shane
In Center Field #24 Logan Frey
In Left Field # 11 Coby Miller
And on the Mound for the Falcons # 10 Brock Davis.
A shout out to four of my favorite guys and four of the greatest kids I’ve had the honor to coach. Words can’t explain what the four of you mean to me. I know you all will take something positive and grow to be stronger men through all of this. Falcon Field will forever feel your footsteps and be grateful for your commitment to Falcon Baseball.

Today, Governor DeWine announced that all schools, including Riverdale Locals Schools, will not return to school this academic year. More information to come.
Today, April 20 by 5pm is the last day to withdraw from a course. Withdraws will receive a “W” on their transcript and may be responsible for reimbursing the school district for the course (if it is not related to COVID-19). Please email Mrs. Caudill if needed.
In honor of our Senior Class, Riverdale Local Schools, along with many other schools across Ohio, jwe are going to light up the stadiums. This recognition of our Senior Class will take place on Monday, April 20th at 8:20 PM (20:20).
Though the campus will remain closed, schools around the BVC are joining together in solidarity to show support to the seniors.
The community is invited to join us by turning on their porch lights.

I wanted to share a video on PPE-Personal Protective Equipment. Some kids cower at people in scrubs, let alone all dolled up in the necessary equipment. This video briefly explains that although these people look scary, they are there to help you. Underneath, it's a person just like Nurse Jenna! (highlight the link below and right click)

Today we distributed hard copy assignments at all of our pick up locations.Each student received at least three weeks worth of assignments. This will be our last hard copy distribution unless the school closure gets extended by the Governor.
Students may turn in hard copies, and lunches will be distributed, each Wednesday in April at our three pick up locations from 11:30 am - 12:30 pm.
Please remember - students are expected to complete and turn in assignments, either on-line or hard copies. At this point we anticipate grades being assigned as normal at the end of the school year.
Please feel free to reach out to the teachers through email to get answers to any questions or concerns you may have. You may also leave a phone message for teachers or administrators at their extensions.
