Two of my children have attended Riverside Elementary. I have consistently been impressed by the level of instruction, potential for parental involvement, and communication with teachers. The principal is absolutely authoritative but quite caring and personable. Additionally in response to previous comments regarding food, this was a recent winner in the HealthierUS Schools Challenge promoted by the First Lady. The principal and cafeteria manager were invited to a special reception at the White house as a result. I believe healthy food is more important than what the children want to eat. That being said, I thank the principal, teachers, and staff of Riverside Elementary for all of the work they do on a daily basis. For those that complain, you should spend more time volunteering your time to help with what you see as an issue and less time complaining.
