Riverside Public Schools asks you to assist us in our "Nebraska Child Find" efforts. This is an ongoing statewide search for all unserved children with disabilities, ages birth through 21.

If you know of a child who is experiencing difficulties with motor development, speech and language, vision, hearing or learning, please refer the parent to the number below. The Riverside Public Schools District will provide an educational evaluation at no cost to the parent. If the child qualifies under Nebraska law, a free and appropriate educational program will be developed to meet his/her educational needs.

To contact us, please call Superintendent Kaczor at 308-497-2431 (Spalding site) or 308-358-0640 (Cedar Rapids site). You may also contact Nebraska Child find at (888) 806-6287 or visit http://www.childfind.ne.gov/index.html
