At the March Board of Education meeting, we recognized several groups of students for their outstanding accomplishments in winter sports activities.
First, the 2A State Runner-up girls' basketball team was recognized. They had a fantastic season, finishing with a 23-3 record. They represented Riverside High School at the 2A State Championship tournament in Dodge City in early March! Great job, Lady Cyclones!
Next, we recognized the basketball players who received Big 7 All-League Honors. Halle Studer, Taylor Weishaar, and Percy Duncan were recognized with first-team all-league honors. Niahla Duncan was recognized for honorable mention.
Finally, we recognized the students who were named First Team Academic All-State by the Kansas Wrestling Coaches Association. These students excel in the classroom and on the mat.
Congratulations to all of our student-athletes and coaches who participated in winter sports!
The Riverside Middle School Wrestling team was recognized for winning the Big 7 League Wrestling title at the December Board of Education Meeting. The following boys won their weight class: Shane Harless-Banks, Kyson Murphy, Brendyn Deming, Gavin Schoenfelder, and Noah Wooley. Many others placed as we came home with a total of 15 medals. Congratulations to the 21 students who participated in wrestling this year and their coaches, Dave Keller and Connor Hayes!

Mr. Nelson and Mr. Hobbs have been instrumental in building strong programs in the music department at Riverside.

Riverside Elementary will be giving the Kansas State Assessments starting this week through April 12th, 2024.
This week 5th graders will test in science.
The week of April 1st, 3rd-5th graders will test in ELA.
The week of April 8th, 3rd-5th graders will test in Math.
Testing will take place on Wednesday and Thursday mornings.
To help your child do their best, feel confident, and in control of their testing experience, we have some tips:
Eat a healthy breakfast. Help children choose foods that fuel their bodies and brains to do their best work!
Get a good night's sleep. Having a consistent bedtime every night brings structure and routine to a child’s day that helps them thrive. But on nights before a big test, getting to bed early, by 9:00 PM or earlier, is even more important! We want our kiddos to be as rested and energized as possible for the big test. Also, make sure your child wakes up in the morning with plenty of time to get ready for school, so they don’t feel rushed. Anything we can do to limit students’ stress on test days is critical!
Dress comfortably. If your outfit makes you readjust, feels uncomfortable, causes you to fidget, then you should probably pick something else to wear.
Arrive on time. Arriving on time gives your child time to eat school breakfast, greet their friends, relax and not feel rushed in the morning. They won’t cause disruptions when arriving on time opposed to being late and class already starting.
Think positive thoughts. Thinking positively can reduce test anxiety and improve exam focus.
Remind your child to ask questions if they don’t understand the test directions. Remind your child that they can take their time on state assessments, so if they need to go slowly, they can. You can write your child an encouraging note and put it in their backpack. This lets them know you have confidence in their ability to do well. Advise your child not to worry and to just do their best!
