If your student is ill, please give specific details as the state requires us to report illness symptoms. If you do not report your student's absence to the Carnation office, we will consider the absence unexcused. We do make "safe arrival" calls when we have absent students who have not been reported.

We have multiple ways for parents to stay informed! PARENTSQUARE - The Riverview School District utilizes the ParentSquare communication tool for all district and school-specific communications with parents, guardians, and staff.
