" Dedicated to Removing the Barriers of Student Achievement While Making a Difference in Student's Lives "

The Riverside Elementary School Counseling Program is committed to helping all children succeed. We believe that parents play an fundamental role in children's success at school. Research has found that parent participation in a student's education has been found to positively affect academic, behavioral and social development.

We are dedicated to working with parents, teachers and staff at Riverside to help your child overcome any barriers that may impede their learning. Please contact any of us if you have any questions or concerns. We are more than happy to set a conference with you to find out how we can better serve your child's needs.
