RIVERSIDE ATHLETIC SCHEDULE: OCTOBER 27-NOVEMBER 1, 2025
Starting Monday, the Elementary Student Council will be holding a canned food drive for two weeks to help stock up the Five Loaves Food Pantry. CAN you help us help our community? Together, we CAN make a difference!!
❤️🥫💙
In partnership with an anonymous donor through the Logan County Education Foundation; each Riverside student in grades 9-12 received a $20 bill. The challenge is to make a positive impact in someone’s life with that $20. During the week students had daily discussions about the Make a Difference Day, which this year is celebrated on Saturday, October 25th. It is a national day of community service where individuals and groups are encouraged to volunteer for local causes and help others. Here are a few pics of the students during today's assembly with the Logan County Education Foundation. Stay tuned to social media and our local news sources in the coming days for more information on the difference our students are making.

Important: Temporary Dismissal and Traffic Changes (Next Two Weeks)
Dear Parents/Guardians,
This message is to inform you of temporary changes to our afternoon dismissal procedures for the next two weeks, starting [Start Date, Monday, October 27th] through [End Date, Friday, November 7th].
These changes are necessary due to essential construction and asphalt work taking place on our back driveways and parking lot areas. For safety, these areas will be inaccessible during dismissal.
Key Dismissal Changes (Next Two Weeks)
1. No Early Dismissal
Unlike a single-day construction event we had last year, we will not be adjusting the school day length or dismissing students ten minutes early. We are committed to maximizing instructional time, and a ten-day change would result in too much missed class time. Dismissal will occur at the regular scheduled time.
2. New Pick-Up Location: Main Entrance Only
All afternoon student pick-ups—both car riders and bus riders—will now take place at our main front entrance/circle drive. Please follow these new procedures:
Bus Students: Buses will be parked along the right-hand sidewalk of the main circle drive. Bus students will exit the building and proceed along the angled sidewalk directly to their assigned bus.
Car Pick-Up Students: Parents picking up students should enter the circle drive, and students will be directed to the left-hand sidewalk to meet their rides. Please be patient and follow the directions of staff members directing traffic.
We anticipate slower traffic flow, particularly on the first few days. We ask for your patience, caution, and adherence to staff instructions to ensure a safe and smooth process for all our students.
Thank you for your understanding as we complete this necessary improvement project.
