It’s hard to believe it is the LAST week of the school year! Please check your students’ powerschool account for any missing grades.  Grades will be finalized on Friday this week.  Final report cards will be sent out the following week.  ILEARN scores for students in grades 3-5 will be mailed with the final report card (minus the Science scores which will not be available until July 1).  Our office will close for the summer on June 4 and will reopen on July 16.

I would like to personally thank ALL of our parents and staff for a wonderful school year.  Thank you for supporting your students.  It really is vital to educational progress that we all work together.  It has been my privilege and pleasure to serve as the Principal of Riverside Elementary for the last 20 years.  As I move on to the next chapter of my educational career, I will carry a piece of every child, staff member, parent and experience with me.  Riverside will always have my heart.   I will miss working directly with your students, but I look forward to hearing of their continued success.

Love and Best Wishes, Ms. KImmel♥️

Chromebook Collection

All chromebooks will be collected this week.  Please make sure your child’s chromebook AND charger are returned to school on MONDAY this week!
