Riverside Middle/High School
Rebels
Weāve seen many students feeling sick lately. Some are too ill and should stay home, while others could manage the day but want to leave. If you child's illness prevents them from learning or could spread to others, they should stay home. Balancing attendance, learning, and preventing illness can be tricky! Call or email Nurse Katie if you have questions!
Please remember to call the office if your student will be absent.
Thanks for keeping our school community healthy!

January Newsletter from Superintendent Keith Campbell Big Horn District #4
A New Year at Big Horn County School District #4
A new year always brings a chance to reflect and reset, and as superintendent of Big Horn County School District #4, Iām excited about what lies ahead for our schools.
First, I want to say thank you. We are incredibly fortunate to have such outstanding students, it is so much fun to watch them learn, grow and represent this district, our staffāteachers, support staff, and administrators who show up every day focused on supporting students and helping them succeed. Iām also grateful for our Board of Trustees and their leadership and the trust and encouragement of our community. Our schools are stronger because of these partnerships.
My New Yearās resolution for the district is simple: keep moving forward. That means building on our strengths, being honest about where we can improve, and always keeping students at the center of our decisions. It will involve all of us working together toward the common purpose of strengthening our schools so that they serve our students today and in the years to come.
We have already done a great deal of work with our Board, teachers and students to gather information and identify priorities that will help guide our new strategic plan. That work has given us a strong starting point. Our next step is to broaden the conversation by hearing from parents and community members. We value those perspectives and welcome input on what our ultimate goals should be, how we move forward, and the direction our district should take in the years ahead. Please participate in our community/parent stakeholder meetings when given the chance.
Looking forward into 2026, I am excited about the future of Bgh4. We have a strong foundation with dedicated professionals, great students and a caring community. As we move forward together, my focus will be on listening, learning and making thoughtful decisions that benefit our students. I know that by working together and staying focused on our goal of continual improvement, we will continue to strengthen our district and ensure that it serves our students, families, and community well, now and into the future.

Hello, everyone, exciting things are happening at the Middle High Beyond Bell. We will be moving into our new room starting the first week back to school, on January 6th. This is the old Math room, which is across the hall from the Ag Department. We will all still go over to the LIE commons for a snack each day and walk over to the room together at 4 pm. If you don't want a snack, please make sure you follow this process anyway, as the door will be locked before 4 pm and there will not be anyone in there to let you in. We have enjoyed getting to know you all in this first half of the year at BTB and look forward to continuing this in the new year and maybe even getting to know a few new friends also.
āTwas the week before Christmas, and all through the school,
Not a teacher was stirringā¦ till caffeine was cool.
Down the halls rolled a cart full of Christmas delight,
With coffee and Tree Cakes to make spirits bright.
Mr. Jensen rode by on a bike spreading good cheer,
Nurse Katie went tree-mode (face painted this year!)
Jeri wore gold and brought sparkle just right, ļø
So thankful for staff who make every day bright!

Roadmap for Success: BGH4 Takes Up Strategic Planning Process
Big Horn Co. School District #4 is taking an exciting step toward shaping the future of education for its students, staff, and community. The district is launching a comprehensive process to create and update the districtās Strategic Plan, a guiding framework that will define priorities, goals, and actions for this year and future years.
The Strategic Plan will serve as a roadmap for decision-making, resource allocation, and student success. It will keep us focused on what matters most- student learning and overall improvement. Every decision that we make should be intentional and aligned with the clear vision that our Strategic Plan provides.
We want our plan to reflect the values and priorities of our school community. The districtās new plan will be developed with broad input from students, parents, staff, and community members. Through focus groups, stakeholders will have the opportunity to share their perspectives and help identify both the strengths and opportunities within the district.
Once completed, the Strategic Plan will outline clear priorities and measurable objectives that will guide instructional practices, resource use, and innovation districtwide. It will also serve as a foundation for accountabilityāhelping the district track progress and celebrate success along the way.
As the district looks ahead, leaders believe this renewed focus will not only clarify the work to be done but also strengthen the shared commitment to preparing every student for success in a rapidly changing world.
At its heart, this is about coming together with purpose and direction. Our Strategic Plan will unite us around common priorities, guiding our efforts every day for every student.
The Strategic Plan will serve as a compass for the districtās next chapters- aligning decisions, resources, and actions around student success. With clear direction and a unified purpose, BGH4 is ready to move forward.
