Message from Mr. Pope
Dear Parents,
We are in the home stretch of digital learning and the school year! Thank you for your continued support in these final weeks of assignments.
I invite you to come to Riverside on Friday, May 15th to collect your child’s personal items, yearbook, and homeroom assignment for the 2020-21 school year, and to return any school library books and textbooks.
Riverside staff members helping with our pick-up process will practice social distancing and will wear masks and gloves to maximize safety.
If you do not wish to participate, you may make an appointment after May 22nd to return books and pick up your child’s personal items and homeroom assignment for the 2020-21 school year.
Please read the detailed instructions below. Following these steps will ensure an efficient process for you and our staff.
Feel free to call the school or email me directly if you have any questions regarding this process: Ben.Pope@gcpsk12.org
Your principal,
