The Standard Response Protocol (SRP) provides a clear, shared approach to safety by focusing on actions rather than individual scenarios. It uses consistent vocabulary while allowing flexibility when responding to a situation. 🚨
The five SRP actions are:
➡️ Hold – In your room or area
➡️ Secure – Get inside. Lock outside doors
➡️ Lockdown – Locks, lights, out of sight
➡️ Evacuate – Move to a stated location
➡️ Shelter – State the hazard and safety strategy
These simple, specific actions keep communication clear and ensure everyone knows how to respond in any situation. 🌟

It’s almost game time, Bulldogs! Friday night is our first home football game, and we cannot wait to see our stands full of our fans. 🏈
All Riverside students get in free thanks to our generous community donors—just show your student ID at the gate!
A quick reminder for our students:
➡️ PreK-5th grade students should sit with parents in the stands
➡️ 6th & 7th grade students may sit in the student section if they follow expectations
➡️ No pickup football games or being under the bleachers/baseball fields during the game
Let’s pack the stands and cheer on our Bulldogs tomorrow night! 🎉

It’s only the 4th day of school and Mr. Dorr’s Woodworking students are already planning their first project-kitchen utensils! They’re learning hands-on skills while building employability traits like teamwork, safety, self-direction and problem-solving.


Thank you to our families for partnering with us to reduce chronic absenteeism! 🌟
When students are in school consistently, they are more connected, engaged, and successful. Together, we are making a lasting impact. 💪 #WeRRiverside

August is National Truancy Prevention Month, and we want to emphasize how important good attendance is for student success! Here are some tips:
✅ Establish consistent bedtime and morning routines
✅ Prepare clothes and backpacks the night before
✅ Schedule appointments outside of school hours (when possible)
✅ Talk with your child about the importance of attendance
When students attend school regularly, they build strong relationships, stay on track academically, and feel more connected to their school community. If you need support, please contact your child's school office!
