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!

Picture day is Thursday, October 12. Families do not need to pre-order or send money on or before picture day this year.

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.
