Riverside Middle School
School Pick Up
We are asking that parents DO NOT pick their children up early from school in the afternoon unless it is absolutely necessary. Please do not attempt to pick up your student from school after 2:00 pm unless it is an emergency, as it creating issues for the front office from the high volume of parents seeking their student during this time. If you know your student will need to be out of school at that time (ex: doctor or dentist appt) please pick them up earlier than 2:00 pm.
Thank you for your cooperation. We know that these procedures will preserve our instructional time and will allow for a safer and more orderly student arrival and dismissal each day.
Reminder: Only adults or guardians that are on the emergency card and are over the age of 18 can pick up a student. The adult will need official ID, which will be checked against the emergency card, before they are permitted to sign out the student.
