REMINDER: Riverside will be hosting our first ever Grandparent and Grandfriend's Day this spring on May 1, 2024!
We are excited to include a program of what our students have been learning and let grandparents eat with their grandchildren at their respective school! If students do not have a grandparent to help take part they may ask you as their parent or even a family friend to be in attendance. OES will be performing at 9:30am and CES will be performing at 12:30pm, both at Carson Elementary!
If you have any questions please feel free to reach out to Ms. Biggs at kbiggs@riverside.k12.ia.us.
