The Riverside STEM Night is one week away!


We want to give a warm welcome to Gina Kroon! While previously serving the RCSD as the PK-5 School Administrative Manager, she will be serving as our new 6-12 counselor for the 2024-2025 school year.
Gina is certified in K-12 School Counseling, K-12 Special Education, and K-6 Elementary Education.
She says, "I am so excited to be the next 6-12 School Counselor at Riverside! It's an incredible honor to have the opportunity to help our students thrive."


During National Volunteer Appreciation Month, we extend our heartfelt thanks to the volunteers who selflessly give their time and talents to our schools. Your kindness and support inspire us all! 🙏 #WeRRiverside

General Literature students were able to take their independent reading time outdoors this morning to enjoy the nice weather with their books!


The current classroom leaders for the Shoe Drive competition are Mrs. Hummel's kindergarten, Mrs. Henderson's Pre-K, and Ms. Krummel's kindergarten. Nice work! Shoes may be donated until April 22.

Let's give a huge welcome to Haley Engler! She grew up in Burlington, Iowa and moved to Atlantic during her junior year of high school, graduating in 2018. After graduating from Wayne State College in 2022, she taught Elementary Special Education in Grand Island, Nebraska. "I’m so excited to join the team at Riverside and return to Southwest Iowa!" says Hayley.


REMINDER: Riverside will be hosting our first ever Grandparent and Grandfriend's Day this spring on May 1, 2024!
We are excited to include a program of what our students have been learning and let grandparents eat with their grandchildren at their respective school! If students do not have a grandparent to help take part they may ask you as their parent or even a family friend to be in attendance. OES will be performing at 9:30am and CES will be performing at 12:30pm, both at Carson Elementary!
If you have any questions please feel free to reach out to Ms. Biggs at kbiggs@riverside.k12.ia.us.
