Don't forget that the Library in Forest has fast internet service. The WiFi reaches the parking lot and we are also taking 2-hr appointments for students to work in the meeting room. We have also set up a WiFi hotspot in Mt. Blanchard at the village office behind the grocery store. We are working with HDER Link to set up another WiFi hotspot in Wharton.
Beginning Monday we are open as usual (with a limit of 10 patrons in the library at once.)

Riverdale has applied for the BroadbandOhio Connectivity Grant to provide internet to those students who have no internet access. If you meet the following criteria please contact Mr. DeMotte at jdemotte@rdfalcons.net

It is a state mandate that everyone attending an extracurricular event wear a mask and socially distance. This applies to not only home events, but away events as well. Admittance to a contest may be refused if a face covering is not worn. Inspectors will be attending events and may stop the game or even shut the season down for that sport if they believe the school is not enforcing the mandate. We want our students to be able to have these events, and I am sure all the parents do as well. We understand that there are many different views and opinions about the wearing of masks. We respect everyone's opinion. Please understand that this is a state mandate we must follow, not a Riverdale policy. Thank you to everyone in advance for your cooperation. Please contact the school if you have any questions.
Current Juniors and Seniors that met the qualifying GPA for the school chapter of NHS (min. 3.4) should have received an email with the application and deadline.
The High School Student Council application is now available. Please check your school email for more information.
