Class Log-in Instructions:

You can log into your courses at the following webpage: http://rvs.blackboard.com

Computer Lab Times: If you need assistance with learning how to use Blackboard or you just want a quiet place to work on coursework) consider joining us in Room 201 at Riverside Poly High School between 4:00 - 6:00 p.m. on Tuesday, Wednesday and/or Thursday afternoons. Our help desk analyst and teachers make themselves available to students and/or parents who need support. No need to make reservations, just come on down. Monday and Friday sessions are held at the Grant Education Center during the same hours.

Academic Integrity Policy:

Academic dishonesty is a serious offense and may result in a failing grade on an assignment, or failure and/or dismissal from courses. Students are expected to conduct themselves in an ethical and professional manner. Academic dishonesty will not be tolerated. Riverside Virtual School will impose consequences for any student choosing to engage in such behaviors. The following are examples of academic dishonesty:

  • Plagiarism: using another person's words, idea, or results without giving proper credit to that person, giving the impression that the work is the student's own
  • Any form of cheating on exams and quizzes
  • Falsifying or inventing information for any assignment
  • Partly or wholly completing an assignment for another student or submitting assignments partially or wholly completed by another student.

If your instructor feels you have violated the Academic Integrity Policy, they will notify the Riverside Virtual School administration immediately and provide you with an opportunity to respond. Students caught cheating on quizzes and exams will receive an automatic zero. For written assignments, students may have the opportunity to resubmit work in their own words. Assignments that are not resubmitted wholly as their own work and with proper citations, will receive a score of zero. Future offenses could result in a failing grade in the course or complete removal from the RVS program.

Fall Enrollment Opportunity: If you are a student that is interested in receiving more information about attending the virtual school full-time in the fall, please complete this form and/or call our office for details.

Parent Observer Accounts:

Any parent or guardian of a student in RVS courses can be provided with access to observe their student’s account in the Blackboard system.  This allows you to login to the system to monitor your child's classes, assignments, grades, view the class calendar, review lessons with your child, and to find information on how to communicate with the teacher. Prior to issuing observer accounts, we must verify parent information and rights to access student data against permissions granted at the home high school.

To receive an observer account, simply complete the form and fax it to 951-778-5684 or bring the form into the school office.  We are located at the Grant Education Center, which is across the street from Riverside Community Hospital  at: 4011 Fourteenth Street in Riverside.
