ATTENTION SENIORS (& HS Teachers)
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.
I encourage you all to continue studying, or start studying, to freshen up on the information within the test.
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.

Good morning,
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!
Sincerely,

Riverside Public School receives FFVP Sponsor
The USDAās 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.Ā 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!!!Ā
