Renovation Ed Specs Still Under Review &
Town Budget Process Now Underway
APPROVAL OF ED SPECS
After the BOE has thoroughly reviewed and deliberated the ed specs presented on January 16th, it will take a vote (date TBD) to approve a final version that will solidify the scope of the project. We will keep parents informed with updates as they become available.
BUDGET DELIBERATIONS BEGIN
The town's annual budget setting process has begun. The next key meeting is the BET Budget Committee decision meeting on March 4th from 9am-4pm, where the Budget Committee will take its first pass at the budget—voting to add, remove or amend certain items—before it goes to the full BET. You can livestream on GCTV’s YouTube channel.
FIRST SELECTMAN PRIORITIZES THE PROJECT
We were encouraged to see that First Selectman Camillo prioritized the Riverside renovation project in his proposed budget and capital plan. While the BET could make changes to this, Mr. Camillo's support was a necessary first step in getting this project funded.
Visit the renovation webpage for additional information.
Food Rescue Drivers Needed
Looking for a quick and easy way to give back to both Riverside School and the Greenwich community? Consider volunteering as a Food Rescue Driver!
We need parent volunteers to deliver donated food from the cafeteria to Barbara’s House (on Wednesdays) and the Greenwich Boys & Girls Club (on Fridays). You can sign up for a single slot or multiple driving days – whatever works best for you. Every contribution counts!
Check Out the Riverside Reel

Relive moments and special events from this school year (and prior ones) on the Riverside Reel, the PTA's secure media share site featuring photos & videos from PTA events and programs at Riverside School.
