Our school is facing a potential $475,000 funding cut for 2027–2028, which could eliminate at least 13 vital staff positions and directly impact our students’ safety and daily experience.

THIS WEEK AT RIVERSIDE

💙 Fuel up at Sharky's before and after the rallies on Tuesday, November 10! 💙

RDCS PTA gets 20% of net sales!

The Beautification committee is improving our school step by step. Let's show our children what a community can do. The first steps begin with you. We will be doing small projects throughout the year to make a big impact. Spare an hour or two, or three this year. This fall we’ll be refreshing a little paint, getting out some gardening gloves, kicking trash out of the curb and breaking out some power tools. A sign up sheet is below for two separate days. Our kids are always encouraged to help

Friday afternoon 3-6 PM, November 6th and Saturday morning 9AM-12 PM, November 14th.

*Also included is a link for you to join this very non-exclusive email list and find out the exciting next project reveal before everyone else.

Thank you Riverside!
