Message from Mr. Pope
Dear Riverside Community,
Riverside experienced a small fire in one of our classrooms on Saturday morning after a hot glue gun was accidentally left plugged in. The fire was put out quickly by our sprinkler system, and the Gwinnett County Fire Department was on the scene immediately to minimize further smoke and water damage.
I want to take this opportunity to express how grateful I am for our Gwinnett County Fire Department, our GCPS maintenance department, and Riverside's custodial team. I witnessed the flawless execution of emergency processes throughout the morning and afternoon on Saturday, and Riverside will continue with business as usual on Monday as the result.
I hope you have a great start to the week, and know that Riverside is ready for the start of the school year!
Your principal,
Ben Pope
