Riverside Park Elementary School

July 29, 2021

Riverside Park Parents & Guardians,

Welcome to the 21-22 school year! I am extremely excited to join the Riverside Park team for an amazing year of learning! I have sent out recent communication via School Messenger, Facebook, Instagram, & our Twitter page, but want to formally introduce myself. My name is Raymond Macias and I am the PROUD new Principal at Riverside Park Elementary. I am entering my 15th year in education and I’m just as energized as I was for year one! Over the last few weeks, I’ve had some amazing conversations and meetings with the Riverside Faculty and Staff and the overwhelming consensus is that at Riverside, we’re Family! I’m excited to join the Riverside Familia and meet yours as well!

At Riverside Park, we are committed to providing our students with rich learning experiences that are thoughtfully planned include aligned assessments and focus on student growth and mastery. Our team is primed for high-quality instruction this fall and is ready to support our learners through targeted enrichment and intervention.

We recognize that last year threw learning curves that have impacted our students academically and emotionally. Our teachers, counselors, and community have all been planning strategies to meet the needs of our students as we return to 100% in-person learning. Since “The best defense is a good offense,” we ask that you communicate any needs you noticed throughout last year with your child’s new teacher. This will assist our teaching team in pairing the right approach for your child in all avenues that impact student learning. We thank you for your partnership and your investment in your child’s learning and cannot wait to achieve next level status with you as a multiplayer in education. Thank you for providing your child with the opportunity to exceed their goals at Riverside Park!

Educationally Yours,

Principal Macias
