A Message from Principal Peterson

Fall is here, and Riverside is buzzing with excitement! From colorful leaves to our upcoming Trunk or Treat, there’s so much to enjoy this season. Thank you to our families for donating candy (we are still accepting) and helping make these events so special—your support brings our school spirit to life!

As the weather cools, please remind your child to dress in layers and bring jackets for outdoor activities and recess. Staying comfortable helps them enjoy every moment of the school day.

Fall is a wonderful reminder that Riverside is more than just a school—it’s a community where students feel seen, supported, and celebrated. Thank you for helping make Riverside such a warm and welcoming place!

We look forward to seeing you at our fall festivities –

October 15 – Virtual PTA Meeting – 7pm
