Riverside Community School District's High School is preparing to welcome the Choices Matter program, brought to you by the Iowa Governor's Traffic Safety Bureau. Chris Sandy - Motivational Speaker / Enduring Regret, Inc. will share his journey — a powerful reminder of how one impaired driving decision changed his life and the lives of others. His message will encourage students to reflect on the consequences of their actions and embrace safe driving as a way to protect themselves, their friends, and their future.

Last Friday at our Quarterly Advisory Meeting, we celebrated December's Top Dawgs. December was focused on responsibility, and these students all exhibited those traits. Great job Liam S, Sara K, Izzy W, Finley M, Daizy A, Rylee Z, and Bradyn C[not pictured]!
During National Mentoring Month, we take a moment to reflect on the mentors who have influenced our lives.
Consider paying it forward by becoming a mentor yourself! Sharing your wisdom and experience can be deeply rewarding for both you & your mentee. 🤗 #WeRRiverside

Mrs. Wolff's 4th Grade class chose one word to focus on for the New Year. They took time to choose a word, define it, and explain to their classmates why they chose that word. Each student then made a bracelet to help them remember their one word.
The 11th annual Emerging Educators Academy kicked off this morning with Director McKenzie Snow, 2025 Iowa Teacher of the Year Melanie Bloom, 2026 Iowa Teacher of the Year Stephanie Pritts, and Drake Education Dean Ryan Wise! Thanks for representing Riverside, Mrs. Geer, Mr. Evarola and Ms. McPhillips! #WeRRiverside

Respect is the CKH Character Trait that we will focus on during the month of January with students during their weekly CKH lessons.
Why focus on Respect?
Respect contributes to a positive culture. People feel safe, supported, and engaged in the context of thoughtful social, emotional, civic, and intellectual interactions.
Respect decreases conflict. Respect helps us, and others, to be able to express ourselves without fear of being judged, humiliated, or discriminated against.
Respect encourages empathy. Respect helps us to understand each other and put ourselves in someone else shoes.
