OWL NEWS
Dear Owl Families,
As 2024 comes to a close, we would like to take a moment to reflect on the incredible journey we’ve shared so far this year. From our alphabet fashion show to volleyball and basketball games galore, from math mania and the adjective parade to positive office referrals, the wax museum, classroom celebrations, a music concert, the fall parade, the Thanksgiving parade, and so much more, your support has made all the difference. Together, we’ve embraced our theme, “The Sky’s the Limit,” and fostered a community of dreamers, risk-takers, and achievers.
As we head into winter break, we encourage our scholars to rest, recharge, and reflect on their accomplishments. We look forward to welcoming everyone back on Monday, January 6th, excited to continue supporting your scholars in being safe, responsible, and respectful.
Thank you for being an essential part of the Riverside family. Wishing you a joyful holiday season and a happy, healthy new year!
With Love,
Ms. Kama-Starr and Mr. Cohen
January brings us into the height of winter, and staying healthy is more important than ever! Please remember to keep your child home if they are feeling sick to help prevent the spread of illness. Encourage your family to stay active, eat nutritious meals, and focus on all aspects of wellness. Together, we can make health a priority this season!

A big thank you to everyone who made this year’s Holiday Shop a fantastic success! We’re also grateful for your support of the PTC’s Five Below fundraiser this month. Your participation makes a difference! Wishing all our families a safe and joyful holiday break—we look forward to seeing you in the new year!
As the weather cools down, we want to remind families that outdoor recess will continue whenever it’s above 32°F and skies are clear. Fresh air and active play are essential for students’ health and focus, so please ensure your child is dressed for the weather. Hats, gloves, warm coats, and sturdy shoes are a must to stay comfortable and enjoy the fun. Thank you for helping us keep recess safe and enjoyable for everyone!
We are opening a Riverside Swag Shop. We will keep it open all year and new items will be added throughout the year. If you have suggestions, please reach out to Ms. Kama-Starr, Mr. Cohen, or Ms. Davis. Please note this is not a fundraiser. We are simply offering this because families have asked about purchasing Riverside items. As items are ordered they will be printed and mailed directly to your home.

- Please call the office (216-838-6700) if your child will not be at school.
- Scholars are tardy after 9:35AM.
- Scholars will not be released early from school without the office receiving communication and consent from a family member in advance. We also ask that scholars are not picked up between 3:00PM - 4:05PM. This is to support our preparations for dismissal.
In partnership with our families and communities, Riverside will develop responsible scholars, who think critically and creatively while becoming lifelong learners who make positive contributions to our diverse society. Riverside is committed to providing student-centered, inclusion-based educational practices that seamlessly incorporate technology, the arts, health, and fitness.
Riverside, we overcome, we evolve, we grow - today, tomorrow, and always!
