#BeACharger⚡⚡
Just a reminder to all the Charger fans attending Monday's Jamboree in Ewing. Riverside will play Summerland @ 5PM and Boone Central at 6PM. Each game will be two sets only. Summerland's activity protocol due to Covid is the following: * 75% Capacity. Ewing - 412 People first come first serve.
*Family groups are to be seated together for health and safety reasons. Please honor social distancing guidelines between households. (Elementary kids will be asked to sit with their parents, and no running around will be allowed!)
*Face coverings are encouraged of all spectators, both indoors and outdoors. Please stay home if you are feeling ill.
*Concession Stands will be available. Please follow procedures at each location!
* Seating will be marked.
*The Student Section is for currently enrolled students grades 7-12.

*All fans are expected to exit the facility immediately following the game.
*No meals or sack lunches can be brought into the school from visiting teams.
Wow! It has been great to see the kids and be back at school! As we reflect on the first week, we will have to make a change at the Spalding site. Starting Monday, all Spalding Site students will be required to wear a face-covering when transitioning between classes and/or when leaving their room. We have worked very hard keeping pods separated, but it has been difficult with the layout of the building. They WILL NOT be required when they are in their classrooms with their pod, just when they leave that room to transition to another room or leave their classroom for any reason. Thank you for being flexible. If you have questions contact Mrs. Nordhues or Ms. Kaczor.
A little 🌞 and a little fun to end the day! Our staff is embracing the nice weather (with some well placed shade trees). And our sophomores are really embracing the Spanish culture while learning 🇪🇸. Great way to end the week!

ACT is officially scheduled to be given to the Senior Class, free of cost, at Riverside High School on September 22. This test will replace the April postponed test due to Covid Closures. There will NO LONGER be a Writing portion on the test during this test administration.

You will also still be able to hopefully take an additional test this upcoming winter/spring, if you desire to take it an additional time as well. This would have to be scheduled by you at Boone Central or another location that hosts the ACT on Saturdays during the National Test Dates. Here are a few new National Test Dates to be on the look out for at local test locations (photo attached):

Attention 20-21 Junior and Senior students. Wayne State College is offering Fall 2020 online dual credit courses however, their registration deadline has moved up to July 24. Please check your emails for more information or contact Ms. Choyeski with questions #BeACharger
The Nebraska Schools Activities Association has changed requirements for Pre-Participation Physical Examinations for the 20-21 academic year. Due to the overwhelming demand on the healthcare system in Nebraska, it was clear to the NSAA Sports Advisory Committee that the system as a whole would not have the capacity to meet original requirements in place by the NSAA for all athletes to have physicals administered in the normal time allotment.
As a result, all physicals for students entering grades 8, 10, 11 & 12 that were accepted during the 19-20 academic year, will remain valid for the 20-21 academic year. This is a one year exemption only and those students who are entering 7th and 9th grades will still be required to get a physical prior to their first athletic practice. Those physicals must be administered no earlier than May 1, 2020!
If you have any questions regarding this matter feel free to contact the high school office at 308-358-0640, or by emailing will.wragge@riversideps.org
There is still time to sign up for the youth football camp for July 27, 28, and 29. If you have any questions please reach out to Coach Valasek.

High school students: you will be using your computers for the rest of our e-learning days. You will have to drop off your previous work packet to receive your computer. If you do not have internet access, based off of the survey we gave earlier, you will not need your computer and you can then pick up a new packet.
We realize that sometimes situations and times are unable to work so if you do have an issue with pickup, please notify the building principals and we will gladly work on finding a solution. If you have any questions, please contact the office or the building principals.
Thank you so much for your understanding, help and doing your best through these unusual times!

Mrs. Mueller’s first and second graders are busy building and creating with a variety of material.
Our Riverside Mobile App has a few new features! In an effort to make our app more of a "one stop shop" for all things Riverside, we have added an "About Us" and "Social Media" tab.
In the "About Us" tab, you will find contact information for both sites and be able to use the links provided to view our full website and Striv page from right within the app.
In the "Social Media" tab, you can view our school's Twitter and Facebook pages from right within the app. To interact with our tweets, you must first log in to your own Twitter account. To view our Facebook page from within the app, you will need to sign into your own Facebook account, exit the app, and then get back into it. From then on, the Riverside Facebook page should appear. Don't have Facebook or Twitter? Don't worry! The vast majority of what we post on our social media pages also appears in the "Live Feed" section of our app and website.
If you don't already have our app, you can download it on a mobile device by searching "Riverside Public Schools NE" in your device's app store.
Our kindergarteners were busy yesterday celebrating the 100th day of school!!! These kiddos have really grown from day one to now. We are really looking forward to seeing what the next 85 days bring for these talented individuals!
