I hope everyone is enjoying their summer vacation. In a few short weeks, we will be preparing for the start of the 2014-2015 school year. Be sure to schedule your appointment for Residency.

Many things have been happening at the District since the end of school. We are correcting our pool issues with the help of Wight & Company and Berg Engineering. The latest endeavor will be installing a supplemental unit over the spectator area. Our engineer has approved this plan, and we anticipate that this will correct the air flow level to the design specifications.

Life Safety/Capital projects were presented at a public Facilities Committee meeting that was held on June 24. Many community members attended and presented their comments and concerns about the proposed parking lot and relocation of the tennis courts. The information gathered at this meeting was submitted to the Board and our DLA architect. Another public Facilities Committee meeting is planned for late July or early August. For more information check the website under the Board of Education tab - 2013 Facilities Assessment.

The First Avenue Bike Path Committee has been meeting monthly. Board Member Mike Welch and I have been attending these regular meetings regarding the Bike Path project along First Avenue at Commissioner Tobolski's office. Earlier this month we were notified that Cook County pledged $100,000 in funding for the path that will begin at Ridgewood Road and run to 31st Street. A proposal was given to Senator Martin Sandoval to request IDOT funding to help finance the remaining legs of the bike path.

All families that have students enrolled at Riverside Brookfield High School for the upcoming school year are required to attend the Annual Residency Event in order to provide documentation verifying their residency within the boundaries of RBHS. Students must also attend this event with their parent/guardian in order to receive their handbook, class schedule, and school ID.  

Visit our residency website for additional information and to schedule your appointment.  

This website also contains information regarding student accident insurance, an explanation of the course schedule change request process, and the Integrated Pest Management (IPM) Registry Form if you wish to be notified before a pesticide application.
