In December, Stefanie Wager from the Iowa Department of Education visited our school. Stefanie was instrumental in helping our school find a foreign language instructor through the exchange program from Spain. That instructor is our very own Maria Fernandez! Maria has done a remarkable job at Riverside, and we are so thankful she chose to come to Riverside and thankful for the exchange program connecting our school to Maria!

We’re committed to breaking down barriers to mental health care. That’s why we’ve partnered with Hazel to offer bilingual therapy in over 30 languages, ensuring all students at Riverside can connect with a licensed therapist who understands their culture and language.

In therapy, your child will gain essential tools to succeed in school and in life, such as:

✓ Improving communication
✓ Building confidence
✓ Enhancing coping skills
✓ Fostering healthy relationships

All students—regardless of immigration status—can access virtual therapy at no cost to families.

Strong routines at home lead to success in school! 😃

A consistent bedtime and morning routine helps your child arrive rested, focused, and ready to learn. Making school attendance a priority means more time for learning, growth, and connection.

Remember, learning happens when you're here!
