Message from Mr. Pope
Dear Parents,
I hope you and your family have enjoyed Riverside's digital spirit week! With just over four weeks of school remaining, we will continue to keep instruction and assignments as meaningful and concise as possible.
These times are hard for everyone, and our children will need ongoing support in the weeks ahead. With that in mind, I encourage you and your child to view and discuss our Student Self-Care Tips for Virtual Learning presented by Riverside's counselors.

State School Superintendent Woods recently pointed out that this is not traditional distance learning or homeschooling. This model is better described as "crisis learning" and our focus must be on compassion. Know that this is the focus of Riverside teachers, and we are so thankful for your support as we work together for our students. If you have any questions or concerns, you can always call or email me directly:

Your principal,
Ben Pope

The Bookfair is Coming!
Exciting news from the Media Center:
With this extended time at home, it seems important to get books in the hands of kids. Digital books are great, but there's nothing like the feel of an actual book in your hands! Research shows that it is vital that children read independently for 20+ minutes a day. We have worked with Scholastic to get Riverside a Virtual Bookfair!
The Virtual Bookfair will begin Monday, April 20th and run until May 4th. Highlights include: Shipping directly to your home, over 6,000 books to choose from, and many $5.00 and under books!
You will also be able to find these details next week on the Riverside Homepage and the Riverside eClass page.
