Classroom Demographics:

In my classroom I have 24 students. 10 are girls and 14 are boys. Five of my students are on reduced lunch and two of my children are autistic. I have a lot of support from parents. Most of the parents are good at making sure their child is prepared for class and a couple of the parents volunteer on a regular basis. In my classroom, I have access to a smart board and a document camera.

School Demographics:

Riverview Elementary School is located in Snohomish County in a suburban neighborhood. There are 227 male students, 225 female students and 84.5% of the students are white. 33.8% of the students in the school receive free or reduced-price meals. The school also provides human services. The Human Services Department is responsible for all personnel matters for the Snohomish School District including job postings and hiring, mentoring programs, substitute services, contracts and bargaining, employee assistance program, First Aid CPR training, and employment records.

Community Demographics:

Riverview supports technology in the classroom. There has been a strong push to ensure that all classrooms have technology to support teaching and learning. All classrooms have a presentation system consisting of a laptop, document camera and projection device. This has been achieved through a partnership with the PTO and through the Snohomish Education Foundation. The library-media center provides leadership and support in this area. This year, the librarymedia staff has worked to establish a school-wide plan for using Reading Counts. They have also identified specific websites to support curriculum and instruction. In addition, the library-media staff have also begun offering “Tech Tips,” short focused professional development sessions targeting the application of technology for instruction in the classroom. Riverview has many volunteers. Mike Rogalinki coordinates watch D.O.G.S. in the Snohomish School district. Each dad volunteers one day a year. Riverview has good financial support from the community. The school just recently remodeled the building after passing a bond.
