Message from Mr. Pope
Dear Parents,
Here is the latest information about Riverside's plan for students transitioning back to in-person learning over the next few weeks.
We have already communicated the details of our K/1 transition plan to parents. We are finalizing the details of our plan for grades 2 through 5, and those parents will be contacted next week. Students in these grades will remain with their current homeroom teacher. Students in grades 2 and 3 will likely gain an additional teacher for some subjects, and students in grades 4 and 5 will remain on their teams.
Thank you for your trust and patience as we carefully plan for this new chapter at Riverside. Please call me at 678-482-1000 if you have any questions or would like to talk further.
Your principal,
Ben Pope
Alternate Transportation Form
Parents,
We are requesting information on afternoon transportation if your child will not be riding their assigned school bus home. All students who will be car riders, going to an afternoon daycare, or going to an address other than their own for child care, will need to complete an Alternate Transportation Form. Please log on to your My Payments Plus account, and click on the Riverside ES Alternate Transportation Authorization Form. One form will need to be completed for each student. Please have this information completed by Monday, August 24th.
