Welcome to Riverside
Dear R2 Families,
Welcome to the 2024–2025 school year! We are thrilled to greet our students and families as we prepare for another enriching academic journey. Behind the scenes, our team is dedicated to ensuring a safe, healthy, and supportive environment as we transition back to our traditional schedule.
At R2, increasing student achievement, increasing student enrollment, and increasing faculty and staff compensation and accountability remains our top priorities and areas of focus. We are committed to sustaining and providing a top tier education to our future scholars! Your encouragement in prioritizing attendance and participation in our Riverside STEM2 programs is invaluable.
Please stay informed with important updates via our school and district websites.
This school year, we will continue our focus on STEM2 (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics, and Medicine). Through our partnerships with Grand Canyon University, Banner Health, and Abrazo Hospitals, our students will have unique opportunities for hands-on training, including participation in surgical procedures and internships. These experiences pave the way for careers in the medical field and beyond.
Our staff is dedicated to enhancing teaching strategies aligned with common core standards to engage students more deeply in learning. We continually assess student needs and implement interventions where necessary, offering diverse learning opportunities such as virtual and project-based learning. Additionally, we provide after-school tutorials and a variety of extracurricular activities at every grade level to support student success.
At R2, we believe in the potential of every student and remain committed to providing a Private Education in a Public School Setting. Together with our dedicated staff, we prioritize your child's preparation for college and future success.
R2 is more than a school district; it's a community where we support each other. We value parental involvement and encourage all parents, residents, businesses, and community members to engage with our schools. Together, we nurture our students' educational journey and foster their growth into tomorrow's leaders.
