River Parking

There are a lot of events going on... Please be patient when finding a parking space!

parking lot

Parking at Maple Grove, River HomeLink and Battle Ground Virtual Academy
Please remember to park only in designated spots in our parking lot. The bus lane is not a designated parking area, and accessible parking spots are reserved for people with a valid disabled parking permit. It’s important to note that the Battle Ground Police Department can issue a citation for vehicles that are improperly parked in accessible spots without permits.

We continue to evaluate our options for a long-term solution to parking. Thank you for your patience and cooperation.

Estacionamiento en Maple Grove, River HomeLink y Battle Ground Virtual Academy
Por favor, recuerde estacionarse sólo en los espacios designados de nuestro estacionamiento. El carril de los autobuses no es una zona de estacionamiento designada, y los espacios de estacionamiento accesibles están reservados para personas con un permiso de estacionamiento válido para personas discapacitadas. Es importante tener en cuenta que el Departamento de Policía de Battle Ground puede emitir una infracción para los vehículos que están mal estacionados en lugares accesibles sin permiso.

Seguimos evaluando nuestras opciones para encontrar una solución a largo plazo. Gracias por su paciencia y su cooperación.

Парковка в Maple Grove, River HomeLink и Battle Ground Virtual Academy
Пожалуйста, помните, что на парковке нашей школы парковаться нужно только в специально отведенных для этого местах. Автобусная полоса не является местом для парковки, а специальные места парковки для инвалидов предназначены для людей, имеющих действительное разрешение. Важно отметить, что полицейский департамент Баттл Граунда может выписать штраф за неправильную парковку на местах для инвалидов, если у запарковавшихся нет такого разрешения.

Мы продолжаем изучать варианты долгосрочного решения. Благодарим вас за терпение и сотрудничество.

River Attendance

Attendance

Please try to arrive on time for classes so students can make the most out of their learning time while on campus. We are aware that parking often causes unavoidable lateness. 

If students are tardy they need to stop at the front desk for a tardy pass and to sign in. 

Families can excuse absences and tardies by using Skyward, calling our attendance line:

360-334-8202 ,  email using info.rhl@battlegroundps.org , or stopping at the front office.
