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.

We’re gearing up for an unforgettable summer of creativity, learning, and fun for students in grades K–3. Also, new this year will be a Pre-Algebra track for students who will be taking Algebra I in the fall.

We’re excited to announce that Field Day is just around the corner! This fun-filled school tradition will take place on Friday, May 22nd for PreK through 7th grade, and it’s always a highlight of the year for our scholars.
To help make the day a success, we are looking for enthusiastic family volunteers. Here’s what to know if you’re able to join us:

- 🕒 End Time: 3:00 PM
- 🍱 Please Bring: Your own lunch, sunscreen, water, and—of course—a great attitude and lots of fun!
Field Day wouldn’t be possible without the support of our amazing families. If you’re available to volunteer, please sign up by Friday, May 15th.
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.

If you have any questions/concerns, please text, call or message me here on Dojo!
- Please call the office (216-838-6700) if your child will not be at school or forward all attendance concerns to Ms. Khayla Smith.
- Scholars are tardy after 9:35AM.
- Scholars will not be released early from school without the office receiving communication and consent from a family member by 3:30PM. We also ask that scholars are not picked up between 3:00PM - 4:05PM. This is to support our preparations for dismissal.
- All daily transportation changes need to be communicated via note, call, or ClassDojo message to the main office by 3:30PM. Word of mouth changes from scholars will not be accepted.
In partnership with our families and communities, Riverside will develop responsible scholars, who think critically and creatively while becoming lifelong learners who make positive contributions to our diverse society. Riverside is committed to providing student-centered, inclusion-based educational practices that seamlessly incorporate technology, the arts, health, and fitness.
Riverside, we overcome, we evolve, we grow - today, tomorrow, and always!
