Inside Riverside
December 4, 2023
There are only 12 school days left before our Christmas Holidays. Please encourage your student to continue to work hard and try their best daily!
I am excited to announce that Riverside has been named as a Top Gains School and our overall School Performance Score grew 1.1 points. This would not be possible without the hard work and dedication of all our students, teachers, staff, and parents!
Our 5th Grade Student of the Year, Liam Tong, was selected as a finalist for Caddo Elementary Student of the Year. Ms. Rakeisha West was named Riverside Teacher of the Year and Ms. Tiffany Hines was named Riverside Support Person of the Year.
Remember to check our Riverside website for announcements and information including our RES Parent Handbook.
Remember, the school day begins each day at 7:25 and ends at 2:50. If you arrive after 7:25, please park and walk your child to the office to check in.
Finally, school fees are $25 this year and can be paid on www.payschoolscentral.com.
Thank you for supporting our school!

School Uniforms
Please see Riverside's Uniform Policy pictured here. Thank you for your help to ensure students are wearing the appropriate uniform to school. Please remember that sweaters, sweatshirts, jackets, and coats must be solid colors (black, gray, khaki, navy, or white only). Riverside sweatshirts and hoodies purchased through the school or PTA may been worn as outerwear daily.
We Care School
Riverside is excited to be a "We Care" school through Community Renewal. We are working to establish a "Culture of Caring". Students and staff are looking for Rams demonstrating caring acts. When a Ram is caught caring, he or she will be recognized using our "Caught You Caring" cards. We have also divided our school into three Krewes: The Krewe of Caring, The Krewe of Peace, and the Krewe of Respect. The Krewe of Respect won our first challenge but overall Riverside collected over 700 pounds of food for the Northwest Louisiana Food Bank. Our next challenge is to collect hats, scarves, and gloves. Let's see which Krewe will collect the most items!
Carpool Procedures
Morning Drop Off/Carpool Reminders
*The carline will run down the entire length of the driveway. Please pull all the way forward so we can get as many cars off the street as possible and expedite the drop-off process. School staff will be on duty and in position to direct students as they exit their vehicles.
*Breakfast will be served from 7:05-7:20. Students must be in their classroom by 7:25 or they are tardy.
*Students arriving at 7:25 or later will need to be signed in by a parent/guardian in the office. Please park and walk your child to the office if you arrive late.
Dismissal Reminders
*Dismissal for ECSE classes will take place at 2:15 in the front carline.
*Dismissal for all PreK-5th students will begin at 2:50.
*All PreK-3rd grade car riders will be picked up at the front carpool line and all 4th and 5th car riders will be picked up at the back car line. Siblings will remain with their grade level.
*Walkers will meet in the cafeteria. Once all walkers have arrived, the duty personnel will walk all walkers to the crosswalk. The duty personnel will stop the carpool line and monitor these students as they walk across the crosswalk to meet a parent/guardian or move to the sidewalk to walk home.
*All parents of students who do not ride a bus and are not approved walkers (students that walk to and from their home to school) must use the carpool line.
