Dear Families,

Welcome to The Riverside School for Makers and Artists.

We at RSMA understand the vital role that parents play in the education of their children. Please make sure that you are on our school-wide communication system REMIND.

REMIND will provide you with information about what your child is learning, school events, and any other announcements that may impact you and your child. REMIND will prove to be a very useful tool for you and your family.

As we all know, successful communication between the home and school is a vital part of your child’s school experience.

There will be many parent activities throughout the year which I encourage all parents to participate in.

RSMA Café is a wonderful experience for all parents to get information on upcoming school events. Please join us in the school cafeteria for the sessions.

PTA meetings are currently happening virtually every month in the evening. PTA will send out a link every month via REMIND.

Fun Fridays happen on the first Friday of every month. Families are welcome to join us in the different activities being presented: classroom showcases, seasonally themed activities, game night, movie night, etc.

Exploration Days – 3 days a year the whole school participates in an exploration day where all students go on field trips across the 5 boroughs.

If you have any questions throughout the year, you are welcome to contact me via REMIND or by email at dcarrion@schools.nyc.gov

I look forward to working with you and your family this year.

Sincerely,

Damaris Carrion
Parent Coordinator
