RHS Weekly Update

We had an amazing first week of school at Riverside! Thank you for your partnership and support as we launched the new school year. Our students are already showing what it means to be a PIRATE: Pride | Integrity | Relationships | Accountability | Teaching & Learning | and Empowerment.

• No School on Monday, September 1 – In observance of Labor Day. Enjoy!

• Student Pick-up & Drop-off – Please continue to use the traffic circle at the front of the school. Expect slightly longer departure times during the first two weeks.
• Attendance Matters! – Daily, on-time attendance is critical. Please help us by making sure your student arrives by 9:00 AM and is ready to learn.
• Parking and Lunch Passes – Students must display a valid parking pass in their vehicle window to park on campus and must have a lunch pass to leave campus for lunch. Beginning immediately, vehicles parked on campus without a visible parking pass will receive a warning. After the first warning, tickets will be issued and a boot may be placed on the vehicle or you will be towed.
