Our Riverside School-Based Health Center team was onsite today providing support, and as students continue to process the experience in the coming days, some may continue to feel stress, fear, or anxiety. “To help ensure families are aware of available support following today’s severe weather event, we want to remind you that the Riverside School-Based Health Center is here to help. If your child is feeling distressed or continues to experience stress, fear, or anxiety in the coming days, our School-Based Health Center team can provide support. Parents may call our school‑based line at 937‑599‑1411, Option 3, to schedule an appointment. We will work with you to determine the most appropriate support plan for your child.”

Important Safety Update

Good morning, Pirate Community! We just wanted to reach out to let you know our students did a really good job during the alarms this morning. We had administration, teachers, and counselors checking with your children today during lunches. There were a few struggling with it. We ask that you check on them later today as well. Thank you for helping us remain calm and trusting us to protect your children. Stay safe, Pirates!
