Homecoming
Our active and creative Spirit Club kicked off Homecoming with a lively pep rally. Thank you to the Spirit Club and their teacher/sponsor Catherine Kernodle! Everyone enjoyed the fun and silliness. Riverdale pride and spirit was pumped up for the game. The result was a great turnout.
The Homecoming soccer game at the Lewis and Clark field thrilled us all as the Mavericks proved themselves against Faith Bible 3 to 0. It was an honor for me to recognize the Senior Fall athletes and their parents for their hard work, efforts and commitments. Our Homecoming court was announced during halftime and they were escorted by our own Riverdale Falcons who carried banners. The court is as follows: Freshman, Princess Megan G. and Prince Chase F., Sophomores, Princess Claire S. and Prince Jeffery K., Juniors, Princess Anna S. and Prince Joey S. and finally, Seniors, Queen Ellis M. and King Robert V.B.
The night culminated at the High School with Open Mic Night. Michelle Horgan and the students transformed the Maverick Room into a spectacular night club and provided entertainment that included vocalists, piano, comedy, dance and a rock band. The audience had a great time and we were all impressed with the range of talent shared!

Senior Panels
Mark Oldani has pulled off a spectacular and productive senior panel process. I am impressed with the level of engagement the seniors enticed from the student body and staff members over the three senior panel days. I learned from the proposals, had the opportunity to provide feedback and became better acquainted with students through my participation. The organization was impeccable and everything went smoothly due to the behind the scenes efforts of Mr. Oldani. I now understand the project and it's process and look forward to seeing the final exhibitions!
Open House
We had record attendance at Open House this year. It was a fun and successful event. Jody Haagenson and Hilary Chandler, the parents and the staff are appreciated for their efforts. It was the students, however, that shined and demonstrated the face of Riverdale. We are proud of who they are and how they represent Maverick pride. I extend my appreciation to Jody and Hilary, the parents and staff, but especially the students for their commitment, time and energy.

Instruction
The State of Oregon has adopted National Standards for instruction. School districts are determining implementation across Oregon. Riverdale High School embraces these national standards as they are designed to develop graduates who are internationally competitive. Graduates will confidently sit in university classes next to any student from around the world. More conversation and discussion is forthcoming as we plan our instruction and supports for our students.
Traffic Reminder
- Students are released at 3:50 p.m (2:50 p.m. on Wed.). To avoid congestion and to allow students who are driving to safely leave the school, we recommend that parents arrive after 4:00 p.m. Please proceed around the student parking circle (north lot) and pick up your student at the pick up/drop off area by the hill as you are headed toward the exit. Please do not park in front of the school (reserved for bus parking) or use turn around in front of the school between 3:45 and 4:30 for student safety.
- During the hours of 3:45 and 4:30, if there is traffic lined up behind you, please turn right and use the Lewis and Clark roundabout to ensure that traffic continues to flow.
