Riverside Families and Friends,

There is a lot going on around the school house this coming month including virtual parent/teacher conferences, school pictures and several job opportunities. Please take a few minutes to review the information found below.

Take care,

Mr. Anderson

Parent teacher conferences will be offered virtually on October 20th and October 21st. Classroom teachers will send out calendar sign up information to families on Thursday October 7th at approximately 4:00pm. If you have a unique circumstance and need to schedule an in-person conference, please reach out directly to your child's teacher.

Looking for a way to contribute to our Riverside community and get paid for it? We are in need of the following staff:

As many of you are aware, bus schedules have improved but continue to be challenging. The bus company emailed instructions for downloading their parent bus tracking app. Please review your email for this communication from the bus company.

You are welcome to call the school at 208-854-5980 and we'll do our best to assist with late bus information. Our office is open for calls 8:15am-4:15pm. You can also contact the bus company directly at 208-854-5230. Their office hours are 5:00am-6:00pm.

Falcon Friday will return in November, so be sure to get your Falconware! New styles are offered with T-shirts, sweatshirts for the cooler weather and hats!

Illness Procedure: Recognizing that our community is currently in the Red Category for the spread of COVID-19, it’s more important than ever that we follow the Boise School District’s Illness Procedure, which includes a daily wellness check to help prevent the spread of COVID-19 in our schools. Staying home when you have symptoms of illness protects the school community by preventing the spread of illness and allowing individuals the opportunity to rest and recover. Our ultimate goal is to keep all our Riverside kids healthy and in school 5-days a week. We want to thank you for your continued patience and cooperation as we navigate the CDH/CDC guidelines when sending ill kiddos home with symptoms.

If a student has any of the symptoms on the Illness Decision Tree, they can return to school only when one of the following occurs:

• 10 days from symptom onset and their symptoms have resolved
• they have a documented negative COVID test and resolved symptoms
• they have a documented alternate diagnosis from their healthcare provider

Clinics will be held at Central District Health (CDH). Details can be found on the flyer below. Please review and download the Client Information Form and Letter to Parents/Guardians. You can find fillable forms at cdhd.idaho.gov/hl-fcs-schools.

Call or stop by their facility for a tour and to find out more about iCode Boise. See their flyer below for more information!

We have changed our before school procedures and are asking students to be dropped off after 9:00am. Thank you for your support.

The student pick up/drop off lane is located on the west side of the building off of East Victory Road. It is essential that the line keeps moving, so please always drive to the top of the lane and keep moving forward as a car leaves. If your child needs more time to transition out of the car, please park in the adjacent parking lot or utilize the parking lot on the east side of the building next to the public library. With so many students at Riverside, we ask that everyone remain careful and cautious while navigating student pick up and drop off.
