River Bend Families,
We're excited to announce a new initiative at the River Bend School District! On September 17, our School Board formally adopted five Steamer Success Indicators to help measure and support your child's growth.
These indicators—Communication, Crit
Our staff will be incorporating these indicators into our curriculum and daily activities through a phased plan, with a focus on helping every student succeed. We believe this initiative will better prepare all learners for a rapidly changing world.
You'll be hearing more about the Steamer Success Indicators throughout the school year. We're committed to working together to help our students achieve their full potential.
Sincerely,
Dr. Darryl Hogue, Superintendent
Kelli Parsons, Assistant Superintendent

Dear River Bend Families, Staff, and Communities,
The River Bend Board of Ed is seeking input on addressing the desire to offer PE everyday, athletic space shortages, and create a space for our performing arts programs by adding spaces to each building.
The following link provides information and answers questions that arose from the public meeting in May when the projects were first presented. A survey link is also embedded in the Q and A to provide additional information.
The Board of Education and the administration will continue to provide updates and information as the school year begins. Your input is valuable as the Board considers the best solution to the address the building and expansion needs.
Thank you for the input,
Darryl Hogue and Kelli Parsons

River Bend Families,
Earlier this morning River Bend Administration was made aware of a threat posted on social media. This post stated that “someone should bomb it”, referring to Fulton High School. Immediately upon becoming aware of the threat the Administration along with the Fulton Police Department investigated and quickly determined that the threat was simply a hoax and an expression of frustration.
We greatly appreciate the students and staff that shared the information with the Administration so that the safety of all students, staff, and visitors could be addressed. The River Bend administration and the Fulton PD will continue to monitor the situation and will provide updates if necessary.

Subject: PowerSchool Cybersecurity Update
Dear families and educators of the River Bend community,
We are writing to inform you of the latest updates regarding the recent cybersecurity incident involving PowerSchool, the software vendor that provides our Student Information System (SIS).
Yesterday, January 29, 2025, PowerSchool initiated the process of notifying individuals whose information was determined to be involved.
PowerSchool has engaged Experian, a trusted credit reporting agency, to provide complimentary identity protection and credit monitoring services to current and former students and educators that had information exfiltrated from PowerSchool SIS. PowerSchool is doing this regardless of whether an individual’s Social Security Number was exfiltrated. In the coming weeks, Experian (on behalf of PowerSchool) will be distributing direct email notifications to involved individuals (or their parent/guardian, as applicable) for whom PowerSchool has sufficient contact information.
Additionally, PowerSchool has worked with Experian to set up a dedicated, toll-free call center to answer any questions associated with these offerings and the incident. All the information regarding the activation of and access to these services will be included in the email sent to you by Experian.
Whether or not you receive an email, you may also visit PowerSchool’s website to learn how to activate the offering from Experian, linked here: http://www.powerschool.com/security/sis-incident/notice-of-united-states-data-breach/.
As a reminder, we encourage you to visit https://www.powerschool.com/security/sis-incident/ for up-to-date information on the cybersecurity incident. Protecting our students and teachers remains our top priority. Thank you again for all of your support and understanding during this time. We will continue to share more information from PowerSchool as it becomes available.
Sincerely,
Darryl Hogue, Supt. River Bend Schools
