Our main focus is to ensure a solid academic base of knowledge for our students to
draw from throughout their lives.
We have many programs and activities that supplement and aid our elementary
curriculum.

Accelerated Reader is
a computerized learning information system that manages, motivates, and assesses
literature-based reading practice. Students select and read library books within their
current reading level and then take computerized comprehension tests. Accelerated Reader
assesses reading comprehension, tracks performance, and provides reports for teachers and
students. |
In
Riverside's Microsociety, the students receive "Riverside Bucks" for the
hours they spend at school. If a child is tardy or leaves school early, their bucks will
be reduced accordingly. With these "Bucks" they must pay tuition, taxes, and
rent. All fines are assessed with this program. The businesses and "marketplace"
are managed by the third and fourth grade students. Food and other products will be made
by the children and sold. Payment, of course, is made using . . . . "Riverside
Bucks."
