IN CASE YOU MISSED IT  The Harbor County News was at our last Board Meeting and wrote the following story summarizing many topics such as our construction projects, amazing theater students, our discussion about painting the gym floor, and our social studies curriculum presentations.

River Valley School District School Calendar 2026-2027
WONDERFUL THINGS HAPPENING IN RV!  It's hard to keep up with all the amazing things happening in our schools. Here are a few examples:
FACILITY UPDATE  I am excited to report that our construction bids came in substantially under budget estimates last week. On Monday evening, our board approved the summer construction bids. Our parking lot and many sidewalks will be replaced, as well as the planter on the north side of the school. We will also be replacing the gym floor this summer. The gravel construction lot near the playground will be the primary parking lot for our school this summer. Stay tuned for more updates as we enter a busy summer of facility improvements.

You may recall last fall that I had written in the Mustang Matters about the pending closure of Warren Woods Road between Three Oaks Road and our school driveway on Warren Woods Road so construction crews can replace a culvert and finish the road construction.  Well, winter came and that work did not get done.  Well, now spring is here, so it is road construction season again.  We've been notified that Warren Woods Road between Three Oaks Road and our driveway on Warren Woods Road will be closed beginning March 16, 2026.  It will likely be closed for over a month.     Unless we are notified otherwise, beginning on March 16, there will be two options for entering the school campus instead of taking Warren Woods Road directly from Three Oaks Road:     1. Take East Road, which is the next road north of Warren Woods Road to the west from Three Oaks Road and go left on Prairie Road. Then go left on Warren Wood Road. You can then go right into our school driveway off Warren Woods Road as you normally do.      2. Enter our school campus from Three Oaks Road using our main entrance.  Students and Staff can enter and park where you normally do.  Parents dropping off MHS students will enter and turn left at the stop sign on the west side of the parking lot and drive into the drop-off lane near the gym and exit as you normally do.  Families dropping off elementary students will enter and turn to the right at the stop sign on the west side of the parking lot and get in the line along the north side of the north lot as you normally do.     It will be congested at the beginning and end of the day, so please use East and Prairie Road if possible. We will have our SRO and administrators out to help direct traffic in our parking lot to help you get used to the new traffic flow.  Road construction can be frustrating, but it is so nice when it is done, so it's worth the hassle.     Please see the maps for more details and let me know if you have any questions.  Mustangs Matter.     Dave Campbell, Superintendent  269-756-9541
