Good afternoon. Nash Street in front of Riverside Elementary is open. There is a barricade around a portion of the street, so please proceed with care and caution around it. Thank you so much for your patience and understanding this morning.
For drop off, please turn right onto Boise, then right onto Goldie. Thank you so much for your patience with all of this. Sorry for the confusion.
There is a water main break on Nash Street. For drop off and pick up today, families will need to go past Nash Street to Boise Street. Turn right onto Boise Street. Then turn right onto LaPlante Street. This is a one way street, but we are going to use this street as a two way street to turn around and make sure our drop off and pick up is safe for our students. Thank you.

Thank you to the crew from Station 8. They visited our PK, K, 1st, and 2nd grade students today. They learned about the importance of knowing two ways out, having a meeting spot, working smoke detectors, and that fire fighters aren't so scary in all their gear. Thank you, Sioux City Fire Rescue!









Tomorrow from 9:00am to 11:00, the fire engine from Station 8 will visit Riverside. Classes in preschool through second grade will have a chance to go out, look at the truck, and ask fire fighters questions. Thank you to Sioux City Fire Rescue for visiting our school for Fire Prevention Month.
