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.
It’s easy to get started: getstarted.hazel.co

Following the November 2025 election in which the proposed voted Physical Plant and Equipment Levy (PPEL) was not approved, the Riverside Community School District partnered with the Donovan Group to conduct a post-election community survey.
The purpose of this survey was to better understand voter perceptions and inform future decision-making on facility planning, community priorities, and communication strategies as the Board of Education considers potential actions.
