To help new Riverside School families feel part of our community, we're looking for current Riverside families to volunteer as “buddies”, serving as a resource to answer questions about Riverside School. This small time commitment can make a big difference.
To become a buddy family, sign up by Thursday, August 1st. Be sure to include the grade your child(ren) will be entering in the fall. For more information about the program, see the email from July 21st.

To learn more, check out the Class Parent Responsibilities. Class Parents will be selected via lottery after class lists are released and will be notified by email before the first day of school.
Summer Read:
Start Your World Tour!
Check out this year's Where in the World? Summer Reading List that includes stories from around the globe, spanning a variety of genres, reading levels, and perspectives.
Later this week, students will be provided with a map of the continents and a reading log. Students should aim to read a book from each of the seven continents over the summer, coloring in the continent when they read a book whose setting, author or main character is from a country in that continent.
At the end of the summer, students will turn in their colored maps and reading logs to be entered into a raffle. Winners will be selected in each grade. Please see the June 11th email for additional details.
Riverside Renovation:
Apply to Join the Building Committee
The Board of Selectman has voted to formally establish the Riverside School Building Committee—the next step in the renovation process. The Town of Greenwich will be looking for candidates with experience in architecture, project management, construction, and legal contracts to join the building committee.
Greenwich residents who are looking to volunteer their time and talent to this project can apply now (and throughout the summer) to be considered. Serving on a building committee is a multi-year commitment which, for much of the time, will require weekly or twice monthly meetings.
Learn more about school building committees here. Visit the renovation webpage for more information about the renovation project.
