As the school year approaches, what is the best way to stay up-to-date with Riverside happenings? OUR CALENDAR! Available on our website www.riversideps.org and our app downloadable via Apple and Android app stores.
Mrs. Bennett is a true rockstar at keeping it current as soon as she is made aware of game times, date changes, or new events. We welcome phone calls to the office if you ever have a question. The photos with this post show how you can filter our calendar by individual activity/sport/event and even add the events to your own digital calendar.

It might surprise you, but the school is anything but quiet during the summer! We want to send a shoutout to those employees whose vital work often takes place behind the scenes. They're usually not the type to want any attention, but they are most certainly deserving!
Our office, maintenance/custodial, technology, and admin staff have dedicated themselves to summer tasks such as: deep cleaning, waxing floors, moving classrooms, mowing, re-doing sidewalks, laying carpet, new construction and renovations of our buildings, maintaining and installing technology systems and devices, updating calendars and schedules, making sure everything and everyone is organized and prepared for the upcoming school year...the list could go on and on!
THANK YOU for the pride you show in Riverside by making it look great and operate smoothly year-round!
