Good evening, Riverside families. In guidance with updated recommendations from the Center for Disease Control and Governor Ricketts, to limit gathering of more than 10 persons, the Nebraska Department of Education Commissioner has recommended school closings to mitigate the spread of coronavirus. Effective immediately, Riverside Public School will be closed for all staff and students through March 31, at which time we will re-evaluate our situation. We will continue to share with our families and community as relevant coronavirus information becomes available.
Effective Monday, March 16 all NSAA activity practices are suspended until Monday, March 30 and all NSAA activity competitions are suspended until Thursday, April 2. These suspensions may be extended should the conditions warrant.
March 14th update for families and community.

The NSAA is aware of the fluidity of COVID-19 and the potential impact hosting statewide events could have regarding the on-going public health threat. Many of our member schools are making decisions in the best interest of their student participants, coaches and communities. The NSAA is regretfully suspending district and state speech contests until further notice.

The second and third graders had fun making Cat in the Hat puppets too!

The kindergartners and first graders made Cat in the Hat puppets in library class in honor of Dr. Seuss's birthday.




The first and second graders had fun making Cat in the Hats with Mrs. Boyer in honor of Read Across America Week!




Mrs. Hahlbeck's First grade is using their sense of smell to identify substances that remind them of food smells versus non food smells. What a great activity and exploring their senses!
