REMINDER: Riverside will be hosting our first ever Grandparent’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! 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. The program will be at the CES Gymnasium starting with K-2 at 9:00am and 3-5 at 10:15am.
If you have any questions please feel free to reach out to Ms. Biggs at kbiggs@riverside.k12.ia.us.

🌟 Meet Kaster Mandeville, our next Senior Shout Out honoree! 🌟
Kaster says, "Cole Chapin has more than inspired me to push and become who I've become. Not only is he one of the most positive people I've come across, but he is great at motivating people to push through the hard times and blow through the easy times. He is great at making others smile and great at making people feel like they fit in. Not once have I seen Cole Chapin disclude a student in an activity. He is just a great dude overall, he is very influential on top of being very considerate."
Thank you, Mr. Chapin!
