Dear Riverside families,
Welcome back to school! And to our new families, welcome to the Riverside School community! We hope everyone had a fantastic summer and that the first two days of school have gone smoothly.
The PTA has been busy preparing for the start of the school year: we hosted a welcome back lunch for Riverside teachers and staff, we held a reception for kindergarten and new families the day before school started, and we enjoyed seeing many of you at this morning’s PTA Volunteer Fair. We are excited to be planning a full slate of programming this year, and we are looking forward to bringing back some of our favorite PTA events. The dedication of our PTA volunteers and the generosity of our community are incredible, and we are very grateful.
In case you missed it, we've put together a back-to-school checklist to help you get organized for the new school year. And don't forget to update your directory information and join the PTA to gain access to the directory. The PTA relies on funds raised via our annual Membership Drive to enrich the experience of every Riverside School student and to support teachers. Thank you to all of the families who have already contributed!
For those of you who are new to Riverside, we send this "Peek at the Week" newsletter via email every Friday with important PTA and community news, upcoming dates and other pertinent information. Be sure to read it each week to stay up to date!
