At Riverside Academy, keeping our community informed and aligned is key to a safe and successful school year.

This term, we’re introducing a few important policy updates that support a respectful, focused, and inclusive learning environment.

First, our updated attendance policy now requires all students to arrive by 8:15 AM sharp. Any student arriving late must check in at the main office before joining class.

Next, we’ve made adjustments to our dress code to promote a distraction-free and respectful space. Students are expected to wear solid-colored tops with sleeves, knee-length bottoms, and closed-toe shoes. Clothing with offensive language or imagery is not permitted.

And finally, our digital device policy has been clarified. Phones and tablets must be kept away during class hours unless a teacher gives permission for learning purposes.

These updates are designed to support a positive school culture where everyone can thrive.

You can view the full policy details at river side academy dot edu slash policy-updates. A full summary has also been sent to all families via email.

Thank you for your support and cooperation.
