River Valley School District Administrator’s Corner


There will be several changes to student bus services for the 2025-26 school year.  We want to share information early to give families time to plan. As the River Valley School District transitions to one campus–serving four communities with a vast rural road system–an updated bus plan will allow us to better communicate and meet the transportation needs of our families.  (Our rural students will still receive bus services using bus routes.)  In addition, we have worked with the Sauk County Sheriff’s Office to create four maps of bus pick-up sites within our four Villages.   The largest changes are in the Village of Spring Green, where we have identified four zones:  a safe walking zone (green), and three additional areas defined as “unusually hazardous” zones.  Areas that require students walking to school to cross highways or railroad tracks create hazardous zones, so there will be established bus pick-up sites in those neighborhoods. For the other Villages in our district (Village of Arena, Village of Plain, and Village of Lone Rock), we have identified neighborhood bus pick-up sites, with each avoiding “unusually hazardous” zones.  These maps will be shared with all families.  Again, our rural students will still receive bus services using bus routes. We are thankful for our crossing guards and Lamer’s Bus Service employees who help get students safely to and from our school campus.  Specific bus routes and times will be completed this summer.  We will continue to share bus information, using electronic means, throughout the summer to keep our families informed. Sincerely, Loren Glasbrenner, District Administrator River Valley School District

4th Grade students enjoy Sauk Prairie’s annual Pioneer Day


4th graders from Grand Ave. and St. Aloysius School visited 11 historic sites and buildings in Prairie du Sac and Sauk City on Pioneer Day, May 22nd. The annual tradition continued. Students saw Students started their day with a bus tour to sites not easily accessible by foot. They visited the Cottonwood Tree--the witness tree to the survey that platted the village of Sauk City. They saw the Liberty Pole Triangle, stopped in front of the Sauk City History Mural, and drove past the High School on Madison Street. Then their walking tour and visits in Prairie du Sac included the Tripp Heritage Museum, Bonham Theater for a slide presentation of the Badger Ammunition Plant, the Ruth Culver Library for a presentation of the building of the Prairie du Sac Dam, a presentation in front of the mural on the Tripp Museum, and another presentation at the municipal parking lot where the students learned about our two bridges, ghost towns across the river and the railroad. After a break for lunch buses proceeded to Sauk City where they visited a pioneer home, the Hahn House, the Freethinkers Hall, the original and oldest Fire Station in the State along with fire engines made in Sauk City, the George Culver Library where they met a French fur trader and touched his fur pelts, and finally a presentation in the library about the early inhabitants of Sauk City, the indigenous people and the early visits and settlement of Sauk City. To get to each stop, the groups walked past a number of buildings not open that day including Thurner Hospital, the Lachmund House and a number of others along Water Street. The special treat of a Culver’s custard was enjoyed by all the students after walking all day to their scheduled stops. A lot of history was learned during the day. But to realize that people back 150-170 years ago walked or lived in these very same buildings amazed a number of students.

District Administrator’s Corner

Memorial Day is just around the corner, and this usually means a three-day weekend for our students and families.  It can also mark the unofficial start of summer.  But, more importantly, it is a day to honor our military personnel…past and present.
