✨ Staff Spotlight: Celebrating A Special Education Teacher - Ms. Webb! ✨
Today we are proud to highlight one of the incredible special education teachers, Mrs. Webb.
Special education teachers wear so many hats—advocate, teacher, cheerleader, problem-solver, and constant source of encouragement. Every single day, Ms. Webb works tirelessly to ensure students feel supported, challenged, and celebrated for who they are.
Through patience, compassion, and individualized instruction, they help students build confidence, develop skills, and reach goals they may not have thought possible. Their dedication doesn’t just impact academics—it changes lives.
We are so grateful for the heart, commitment, and positivity she brings to Riverbend.

📚✨ Staff Spotlight: ELA Teacher ✨📚
Today we’re excited to shine the spotlight on one of our incredible ELA teachers,. Mrs. Vogt.
In ELA, students do so much more than read and write—they learn to think critically, express their ideas with confidence, and discover the power of their own voice. Mrs. Vogt creates a classroom where stories come alive, discussions are meaningful, and every student feels encouraged to grow.
From guiding students through powerful novels to helping them craft strong essays, this teacher brings passion, creativity, and dedication to every lesson. Most importantly, they build relationships that make students feel seen, heard, and supported.
We are so grateful for the heart and hard work poured into our students each day. Thank you for inspiring a love of reading and writing at Riverbend!

At Riverbend Middle School, we know that every role in our building makes a difference — and today we are proud to recognize our amazing ISS teacher, Mr. Rowbottom!
Working in In-School Suspension takes patience, consistency, and a heart for helping students grow. Mr. Rowbottom does so much more than supervise — he mentors, guides, and encourages students to reflect, take responsibility, and make better choices moving forward.
With calm leadership and a steady presence, he helps turn challenging moments into learning opportunities. His dedication ensures that students stay on track academically while also learning important life lessons about accountability and respect.
Thank you for the compassion, structure, and support you provide each day. Riverbend is stronger because of you!

Here's what's coming up this week at Riverbend!
Edited to correct the time for Wednesday night's volleyball game.
👀 Attention Riverbend Students… the Lost & Found is Feeling VERY Attached 👀
Our Lost & Found is currently hosting a collection of lonely hoodies, abandoned water bottles, mysterious lunch boxes, and at least three coats that insist they “definitely belong to someone cool.” 😎
If you’ve been thinking:
“Wow, my sweatshirt looks just like that one…”
“Where did my Stanley go?”
“I used to have a jacket…”
This is your sign!
Before these items decide to transfer schools, start a new life, or become part of the “Forever Collection,” come check the Lost & Found!
🗓 Items will be donated after March 6th.
Come rescue your stuff. It misses you. Probably. 😉
Here's what's coming up at Riverbend this week!
Riverbend Middle School students recently brought creativity and leadership to life by transforming a classroom into an immersive geographic wonderland! 🌎
What began as a simple idea grew into an impressive redesign, with half the room reflecting an outdoor adventure theme and the other half exploring an under-the-sea environment! Next trimester, students will have the opportunity to continue the project and build on what was started.
A special thank you to Allison Caldwell, Kasey Linn-Campbell, Kassidy Duncan, and Haylee Henry, who led the planning and design efforts and dedicated countless hours to the transformation.
Their initiative, creativity, and commitment have made a lasting impact on the classroom experience for both students and staff! 🌟
