Please email a photo and a brief description of what they’ve been up to since graduation to sanderson@riverside.k12.ia.us.

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, stomach ache, and headache.

If you are concerned your child is missing school due to anxiety, talk with a teacher, a school nurse, a counselor, or other school staff to discuss the challenge and identify possible solutions.

Thank you for your help as we make attendance a priority this school year and beyond! 💫

Sponsor a plaque to contribute to our Riverside PRIDE campaign! 🌟

The plaques will be displayed near the football field at the Pigneri Athletic Complex to recognize those who support our facilities improvement efforts.

Donations in any amount are always accepted and appreciated! Learn more: www.goriversidepride.org

Some fun was had at CES today. #WeRRiverside

Bentley Rone signed to Felician University to continue her academic and volleyball career. In addition to her athletic scholarship offer, she also received a Presidential Scholarship, awarded due to her outstanding academic achievement, as well as acceptance into the University Honors Program. She had an incredible career at Riverside, and we are thrilled to see her compete at the next level!

There will be no school starting Monday as we observe #WinterBreak. We hope everyone enjoys the time off and comes back ready to learn in 2026! ❄️ #WeRRiverside

The high school winter concert was just the thing to put us in the spirit. Both vocal and band sounded amazing. #WeRRiverside

These students are now certified basketball officials. They completed coursework in Mrs. Graves' officiating class and passed the certification exam.

Thanks to Sorensen Construction for working so hard on the concrete for our Greenhouse. We will be ready to get the building up when Spring arrives! #WeRRiverside
