We will have our next student packet pickup on Wednesday, April 15th, between the times of 10am and 1pm. The packets will be located at the campus your child attends. At the campus, we will have a box or container, labeled with grades, that you will be able to drop off in. A staff member from inside the school will then bring your new packet outside to you.
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!

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.

One of the most important roles a meerkat plays is that of the sentry, or watch guard. One meerkat will stand on its hind legs, propped up by its tail, and act as a lookout while the rest of the mob is outside looking for food and frolicking in the sun. Our 4th and 5th graders had an awesome hands on learning experience creating their own safety and danger calls mimicking what meerkats do! Awesome job by everyone! They were too fast to be caught by the predator!

Riverside Public School receives FFVP Sponsor
The USDA’s Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program (FFVP) provides funding to elementary schools to serve free fresh fruits and vegetables to children throughout the school day. The program is designed to help combat childhood obesity by teaching children the importance of developing healthy eating habits.
The FFVP expands the variety of fruits and vegetable children experience and hopefully increases their fruit and vegetable consumption. Funds provided to each school cover the costs associated with administering the program including the cost of food and labor. Districts eligible must have fifty percent of its families qualify for free and reduced lunches. Riverside Public School no longer meets this criterion.
We are so thrilled to announce that Henderson State Bank will sponsor the Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program at both Riverside campuses for the 2019-20 school year. Thank you Henderson State Bank!!!
