Riverbend Elementary School
		Riverbend opened in the fall of 1997 in the Mendenhall Valley, seven miles north of downtown Juneau, Alaska. The school serves about 485 kindergarten through fifth grade students in twenty classrooms. Riverbend, a TRIBES community, provides multiage experiences for its students through mixed age classrooms, wings, lunch, and recess.
	Students can participate in a variety of in-school and extracurricular activities, including student council, peer mediators, Beaver Bulletin (a video newscast), intramural sports, academic competitions, and a music keyboarding lab.
