Dallas Harris Info
As most of you know, all of the Dallas Harris students will be starting at Riverside with a tentative opening of the new school in early November. Dallas Harris students will be placed in classrooms with Dallas Harris teachers (as Riverside teachers will have Riverside students) and when the school opens the Dallas Harris classrooms will move as one whole unit. The purpose of this is to create an easier transition for all students. If you have any questions please reach out to Dr. Taylor or Mrs. Forrey.

Riverside Character Traits
Why do we teach, reinforce and celebrate character traits at Riverside Elementary School?
We are committed to the growth and development of the whole child at Riverside. Learning about positive character traits and how they affect our life, other’s lives, and the greater community at an early age is important .
Children who learn character traits have better success in relationships both at school and outside of school. They learn to be more forgiving, responsible, caring, and compassionate individuals. They also learn how to cooperate with others, to tolerate different viewpoints, and to respect the needs of others.
Please ask your child about this month’s character trait (Grit/Perseverance), and ask them how they are displaying kind behavior at school and at home.
Cell Phone Policy
Riverside is asking that students do not have phones or use their smart watches out on school grounds before or during school. Students are allowed to keep their cell phones in their backpacks during the day. Thanks for your support on this issue.
