Before I moved to Southwest Iowa, I had come down in February when Riverside was on Spring Break to look at the classroom/school. I come down the day before it had snowed 7+ inches of snow the nigh before I scheduled to come look at the classroom/school with Mr. Kroon. We had pushed it off a few hours and I eventually made the hour drive from the hotel in Council Bluffs to Oakland on icy snow covered roads to come look at the school. I was sitting in the front circle when Mr. Kroon pulled up out of his truck in red sweatpants and a beanie on his head. We got into the school and I was looking around at the classroom and That is when I was on the verge of tears thinking to myself "Is this really where I want to be and be 3 hours away from home knowing nobody." I kept telling Mr. Kroon that I was 70% sure of coming to Riverside as I have not signed my contract yet. I will never forget that he was so encouraging and listing off all the great things about Riverside and hearing how passionate he was made me realize that I may never get an administrator like him anywhere else. Now being here at Riverside and taking the risk of moving away from everything that I have known has been the best decision made so far with a welcoming administrator like Mr. Kroon who is always checking and helping where needed.

Welcome! 🌟
Mr. Kroon is always maintaining a positive outlook and brings a great sense of humor everyday. It's almost impossible to catch him in a bad mood and this attitude has rubbed off on me. I feel like I'm a much better person for myself, my family, and my students because of this attitude. I appreciate everything that he brings to the building each day.
During Fire Prevention Week, we’re reminding all families of the importance of having an escape plan in case of a house fire.🧯
Practice the plan with your family at least twice a year. Make sure every family member knows two ways out of each room and how they can get outside as quickly as possible.
Here’s a great resource: https://www.nfpa.org/Public-Education/Staying-safe/Preparedness/Escape-planning
