Principal's Message

Dear Parents and Students,

Welcome to Riverside Middle School, a National School of Excellence! As we approach the new school year, we are very enthusiastic about the plans that we have made to ensure a successful year. The teachers have prepared lessons that are connected to real life experiences so that each and every student gets challenged on their appropriate level. Our common goal is to meet the needs of all students.

As we “Soar to New Heights!” during this school year, we must each strive to be our best. We must take advantage of every opportunity for personal growth and positive academic progress. We are excited to have the opportunity to take part in this growth and development. My objective is for you to have challenging and rewarding middle school years.

You are now a Riverside Middle School Eagle! As an Eagle, you represent your family, your school and your community in a manner that reflects the pride you feel. With that in mind, fly high and reach new heights!

Sincerely,

Elijah Putnam, Principal
