Greetings and best wishes for a fabulous New Year from the Riverside Elementary School District!

My name is Silverio Garcia Jr.; and as the recently hired parent and community liaison for the Riverside School District, I’d like to say "Welcome" to all the surrounding businesses and corporations within and outside the boundaries of Riverside District. I’d also like to say and express a warm welcome to our many parents and community members.

We at Riverside School District #2 have many plans and ongoing projects in motion to help take our education campuses to new levels of performance and accomplishments with our students and parents in the midst. We have many desires; however, we fully realize that we cannot operate as an island separated from our surrounding or next door neighboring businesses and / or corporation offices. We realize it takes a community and partnerships with our local businesses and corporations for us to truly succeed.

Some of the present projects that we have underway are the renovations of the Riverside Traditional school campus, which include the construction of a new Parent Center, new Pre-School classrooms and we are adding one more kindergarten classroom. We are also reconstructing the front offices of Riverside Traditional School and the administrative offices to better serve our parents, employees and our Special Education Department.

We want to say "thank you" to all our local area businesses/corporations for your sponsorship and involvement in the ACHIEVE magazine. We cannot fully express our gratitude and sincere appreciation for the business, corporation and the many companies’ involvement that will be helping our children and parents’ education on the Riverside School campuses. We cannot fully function and ACHIEVE all of our goals without our dedicated and committed corporate America sponsors. Great to have all of you onboard!
