Riverside Middle School

The fun and learning continues during Week 3 of the Watertown Unified School District Summer School program. Riverside Middle School was buzzing with activity this week as 5th-8th graders honed their baking skills, worked in teams playing board and card games, crafted beaded jewelry and decorations, and learned more about small animals and agriculture. Students also enjoyed plenty of gymnasium and outside time playing basketball, flag football, walking and talking, and biking around town.

🚴🚴‍♀️ RMS would like to thank Watertown drivers for being patient with the students who are biking around town with their instructors. Drivers have been very courteous about giving the bicyclists space and waiting for them to cross streets together as a group. This is sincerely appreciated!

Just a reminder there is no WUSD Summer School on Thursday, July 3, Friday, July 4 or on Monday, July 7. Happy 4th of July! 🎆

WUSD Nutrition Services will be offering FREE summer meals (breakfast and lunch) to children age 18 and younger while the WUSD Summer School program is in session. The free meals are open to any child in the community - they do not need to be enrolled in Summer School to participate in the free meal program.

The Summer School program runs 6/18/25-7/18/25. Our meal sites are CLOSED from 7/3/25-7/7/25.
IMPORTANT NOTE: ALL MEALS ARE REQUIRED TO BE EATEN ON-SITE.
