Riverside Elementary School -

For drop off, please turn right onto Boise, then right onto Goldie. Thank you so much for your patience with all of this. Sorry for the confusion.

There is a water main break on Nash Street. For drop off and pick up today, families will need to go past Nash Street to Boise Street. Turn right onto Boise Street. Then turn right onto LaPlante Street. This is a one way street, but we are going to use this street as a two way street to turn around and make sure our drop off and pick up is safe for our students. Thank you.

Thank you to the crew from Station 8. They visited our PK, K, 1st, and 2nd grade students today. They learned about the importance of knowing two ways out, having a meeting spot, working smoke detectors, and that fire fighters aren't so scary in all their gear. Thank you, Sioux City Fire Rescue!

Tomorrow from 9:00am to 11:00, the fire engine from Station 8 will visit Riverside. Classes in preschool through second grade will have a chance to go out, look at the truck, and ask fire fighters questions. Thank you to Sioux City Fire Rescue for visiting our school for Fire Prevention Month.

Tomorrow is picture day. You do not need to pre-order or send money. All students will have their pictures taken. A sample picture will be sent home with all students about a week later. This will have a link that families can use to order their pictures online. If you have any questions, please call the office and let us know! Thank you!

Good evening. On Tuesday, October 10, Riverside's entryway vestibule area will be used for a primary election for the City of Sioux City. All of this will take place in the front entryway as you enter the building. Voters will not be allowed into the building beyond that point. Additionally a Night Patrol Officer will be at school for extra security. Preschool students will be brought into the front hallway for drop off and pick up because of this. Please call the school office if you have any questions. Thank you!

Good evening, Riverside Families. The weather has turned colder. Please make sure you are dressing your child in layers and sending a coat or a jacket each day. Hats and gloves will be needed soon, as well. Students will go outside for recess unless the real feel temperature is below 15 degrees. Thank you!

Riverside Elementary will hold Parent-Teacher conferences on Monday, October 23 and Tuesday October 24. Please go to:www.myconferencetime/riverside to sign up for your child's conference. Click on their teacher's name and then choose a time to come. Thank you!

Picture day is Thursday, October 12. Families do not need to pre-order or send money on or before picture day this year. The process is this: All students will have their pictures taken on picture day. We will send home a sample picture with all students from school about a week later. This picture will have a link that families can use to order their pictures online. Pictures will then be delivered to school and sent home with your student. If you have any questions, please call the office and let us know! Thank you!

Good afternoon, Riverside Families. This message is to notify you that today at 1:05, we practiced an evacuation drill. The state and the school district require this drill every two years. Students walked to our evacuation location parking lot and then returned to school by 1:40. Thank you!

Hello, Riverside Families! The parking lot that is to the south of the school or the side of the building will be under construction for the next few weeks. I have asked staff to park in this parking lot. I ask that Riverside families park in the lot directly across from the school before and after school for drop-off and pick-up. This will keep our students safe and away from the construction area. Thank you for your help with this situation. Have a good evening.

Thank you, Jensen Subaru! Riverside Elementary has been chosen as the "Adopt a Classroom" recipient for the 2023-24 school year. Teachers will receive a total of $5000 to spend on supplies and materials that our students can use every day. Thank you for your support!
