Respect and responsibility are paramount to our commitment. At our school, meaningful and authentic instruction encourages curiosity and creativity, promotes reasoning skills, and enables students to become lifelong learners and productive members of their community. Our School Improvement Team, composed of administrators, teachers, teacher assistants, parents, and community members, collaborates in order to improve academic achievement, promote student citizenship, and provide for a safe and orderly environment. As part of our School Improvement Plan, we are working together to expand our repertoire of strategies to improve student performance on the SOL tests and identify those best practices that will have the greatest impact on student achievement. Our teachers work together across grade levels to ensure that all SOLs are taught and reviewed consistently.
Teachers provide many hands-on experiences to teach concepts.
Riverside Elementary welcomes volunteers and encourages all parents and members of the community to become actively involved in our efforts to guarantee a quality education for the children. Riverside has a number of programs that help to raise academic achievement in reading. An acceleration reading teacher works with students at all levels. This is the third year of the program here at Riverside. The countries represented at Riverside are Egypt, Bosnia, Kosovo, Iraq, Congo, Korea, and Venezuela.
