Hello Riverside families! We’ve set a goal to create a community of lifesavers by getting everyone to complete Finn’s Mission and learn Hands-Only CPR. When given immediately, Hands-Only CPR can double (or even triple) a person’s chance of surviving cardiac arrest. If you haven’t done it yet, complete Finn’s Mission today to learn this lifesaving skill and earn special thank-you gifts. http://www2.heart.org/goto/oakland or http://www2.heart.org/goto/riversidecarson
Black History Month gives us the chance to celebrate the achievements and cultural contributions of people who have had a significant impact on our nation’s history. We appreciate the opportunity to observe this month in partnership with our community. #WeRRiverside

Families can support consistent school attendance by understanding the cause of health-related absences, which can often be avoided. 🍎
Children may avoid school due to the symptoms of anxiety, which may include decreased appetite, feeling tired, stomachache, and headache.
If you’re concerned your child is missing school due to anxiety, please reach out to school staff to discuss the challenge and identify possible solutions.
