Riverbend School is nestled mid-way into the community of Riverbend and is easily accessible from any area of the city (north and south via Deerfoot Trail and east and west via Glenmore Trail). The strength of Riverbend community lies in the dedication of the parents to building a strong sense of neighborliness, the commitment of parents to the educational opportunities for their children and the stability that comes from a very low mobility rate, allowing the majority of students to attend Riverbend school from kindergarten through grade six. We are the designated school for Riverbend Community.

School Development Plan
Each year, our school prepares a development plan with input from teachers, school staff, students and parents. We review many sources of data, including report cards, provincial achievement test results and school surveys. Based on this information, we create our plan identifying targeted areas for growth. Our school development plan is not meant to represent all of the work that takes place in our school, but rather it focuses on specific areas for improvement.

School Improvement Results Report
Our school also prepares a results plan, which looks at our previous school year. It shows our students’ achievement and progress in meeting the goals and outcomes as set out by the CBE and Alberta Education, outlines some of the highlights of our school development plan and gives an overview of our school.
