Dear Parents/Guardians,
Welcome to the 2024-2025 school year at Riverside Elementary! We’re excited to open our doors and welcome both students and families as we work together to create a supportive environment that encourages academic success, personal development, and a strong community spirit. At Riverside Elementary, we recognize that each student brings their unique talents and potential. Our dedicated team of educators is here to nurture these talents and help every student reach their goals.
You’re an integral part of our Riverside team, and we encourage you to actively participate in your student’s education. We believe that a strong partnership between the school and families is crucial for student success. Open communication and engagement with our teachers and staff are essential for creating a supportive, positive, and thriving learning environment.
This year, we have exciting plans and initiatives to enhance the overall learning experience for our students. We will maintain our commitment to delivering a comprehensive education by offering ample opportunities to excel academically, as well as in extracurricular activities and personal development.
Throughout the year, we will keep you updated on school events, academic progress, and important announcements through our website, newsletters, and parent-teacher conferences. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out to us. We are here to support you in every way we can.
Please help us welcome the following staff who will be joining our Riverside Team: Kendell Lubben, Preschool Teacher; Liz Garry, Second Grade Teacher; Kenna Miller, Third Grade Teacher; Tala Wilhelms, Paraprofessional, and Katelyn Sorensen, Office Administrative Assistant.
