Warriors,
This is not how we expected to return from Spring Break but this is what we must do! It is a dynamic situation so things are subject to change. This is the most up-to-date information that we have.
Schools are closed for students. This includes Carver Career Center and extra-curricular activities. Teachers will be placing instructional material on Schoology by Thursday, March 19. The office will be open from 8:00 am - 4:00 pm.
Parents: If you do not have a Schoology account, please call the school. A counselor or administrator can get you the information.
Students will use the iPad to access their instruction.
- If the iPad is in lost mode, please contact the school asking for Mr. Longsworth or Mr. Corbett.
- If students have a check-in/check-out iPad, they can pick it up at school throughout the day from 9-4.
- For anyone who does not have an iPad at all due to damage or loss, an iPad will be deployed from the technology office at the Central Office. Students and parents must call first and give the Technology Department (304-348-6116) time to set the iPad up. They will set the iPad up ahead of time so students or parents can just pick them up when they come.
- If you have your own device, you can use it as well.
- If you do not have the internet at home there are several options:
- There are companies that are offering free internet services during this time starting Monday.
- If you are near a school or public library, you can usually connect to the wifi in the parking lot, near the building. Connect, download what you need, then complete your work offline.
- Use hotspot with your phone.
If you have problems with your iPad, contact the school, asking for Mr. Longsworth (IT).
Kanawha County will provide a grab-and-go lunch and breakfast throughout this time. The buses will leave Riverside around 10:30 a.m. and start their normal run. All you need to do is wait at your child’s bus stop for a meal to be delivered. To get an approximate time for drop off on Monday, you can call the bus garage or the main transportation office for bus times, or it will be 4 hours later than the elementary bus stop times. We are still communicating with the Fayette County leadership to complete the plan. You can also call the school and we will have the meals waiting for you in the pickup loop in front of the school between 10:30-12:00.
East Bank Bus Garage: 304-949-4714
The Food Pantry distribution scheduled for Saturday, March 21st has been canceled. However, if you or someone you know needs food items, please call the school. We will schedule a pickup time and put together a box. We will bring it to the car in front of the school.
- Wash your hands frequently
- Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth.
- Stay home when you are sick.
- Cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue, then throw the tissue in the trash.
- Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces.
Of course, all of this is subject to change. As we learn more, we will continue to update you.
Please check Riverside's and KCS's social media pages for any updates. If you have any questions, do not hesitate to call or email me.
Again, stay safe and healthy!
