Julianne’s expertise in inclusive education aligns to our mission and goals and she has experience supporting students at all grade bands in math, reading, and writing. 

Success in the Alternative Setting is a Partnership Between the Student, Teacher, and Parent

• Please regularly check academic progress through the new Synergy ParentVUE portal, Microsoft Teams sites, and reach out to teachers if you have questions or concerns. At the secondary level, parents can also support their student in having them take the lead in initiating communication with teachers as appropriate-we encourage students to take ownership in their learning plans.

• Email is the most effective way to stay in touch with teachers. Please contact them directly if you have any questions about grades. Teachers work hard to respond within two school days. Your assigned advisor is a great point of contact if you need support.

• Please consider joining our PTSA. We value your partnership and support and want to keep you informed and connected. For PTSA membership information, please visit the PTSA website: rlcptsa.givebacks.com. If you are interested in learning more about how to get involved, please email: rlcptsa@gmail.com

• Finally, please feel free to reach out to me directly if you have questions, concerns, or need support in any way by phone: 425.844.4963 or by email: bosshartm@rsd407.org

 

I am so glad you have chosen one of our programs and look forward to partnering with you to support your student’s growth and success at the Riverview Learning Center. Our dedicated staff is committed to creating a welcoming environment where every student feels safe, respected, included, and valued as an individual. We are looking forward to an outstanding 2025–2026 school year together!

 

Go Ravens!
