Owl Families,


Thank you to all who attended our One School, One Book Family Night last week. This program is such a meaningful celebration of literacy, and we could not imagine it without your support and participation.


We also extend our gratitude to everyone who joined us for our Music and Art Festival, Glow Night. It was a joyful evening highlighting our scholars’ creativity and talents.


As we enter the final month of the school year, we thank you for continuing to prioritize attendance and for encouraging all scholars to live The Riverside Way.


In Partnership,

Heather Kama-Starr & Kyle Cohen

Hello 8th Grade Families!


Believe it or not, 8th Grade Promotion is less than a month away. I am also shedding a few tears as I have known many of your children since they were in Preschool! On that note, promotion tickets are now available for pickup.


Here are a few key things to note:


  • Each scholar will receive FIVE tickets.
  • Tickets MUST be picked up and signed for by an adult. NO tickets will be given to students.
  • IF we have additional tickets available, there will be another post on or around May 26th. These will be given out on a first come, first serve basis-with 2 being the maximum number of tickets able to be picked up.
