Your Voice Counts...One More Week!
Dear Parents,
Riverside was recently recognized as a Double Platinum Award School by the Georgia Department of Education. We are one of just four schools in the state to earn this distinction. Way to go Riverside students, teachers, and community!
Your input is an important factor in this recognition. Please take a few minutes to complete this year's Georgia School Climate Survey. It will be available through March 1, 2020.
Thank you for your continued partnership and support!

In The Spotlight...
Rosa Parks was a civil rights activist who refused to surrender her seat to a white passenger on a segregated bus in Montgomery, Alabama. Her defiance sparked the Montgomery Bus Boycott. Its success launched nationwide efforts to end racial segregation of public facilities.
Smile!
Let's All...
Read On, Riverside!
The Deadline is February 28th!
Fourth grade students will be receiving information about a special after-school opportunity that will be open to their grade only, but we want the entire school community to participate at home at their own convenience.
This is an easy, fun way to contribute to a very meaningful cause. There is no sewing involved and the only expense is the purchase price of the fleece, which can be found at Hobby Lobby, Walmart, or Joann Fabrics. For more details and complete instructions, please visit www.riversidepta.net or email Heather Sinyard at heather@sinyard.org.
Completed blankets may be dropped off in the school lobby anytime between now and Friday, February 28th. Thank you for your help with this worthy service project!
