It was an exciting day yesterday at Riverside Middle School as teachers and staff welcomed students in grades 6-8 to the start of the 2024-25 school year!
To help students become more familiar with staff and to better understand school expectations, each grade attended a welcome assembly in the school gymnasium. Enjoy these images of our sixth-graders attending their assembly, as well as their first official lunchtime as middle schoolers in the cafeteria.

As part of back-to-school training and team building activities, the staff at Riverside Middle School participated in a "Goosechase" last week where employees enjoyed a scavenger hunt around Watertown. The activity enabled the team members to get to know each other, and the Watertown community, a little better. 🚗🤳

Let’s thank them for all they do for our schools! 💛
