Visitors & Volunteers

VISITORS

We enjoy having our parents visit the school, and we hope to see you often, but we ask that for safety reasons you follow these guidelines when visiting Riverside.

If you come to the school for ANY REASON during the day, you will have to present your ID and then go through a weapons detector while one of our security staff members (Officer Russ or Officer Jane) support you. To make this process easier, please only bring your ID and car keys. All items that you bring in are subject to search.

  • ALL VISITORS, including parent volunteers, SIC/Title I Team Members, and PTO Members will first report the Front Office and all take part in walking through the weapons detectors before traveling to any other part of the building.
  • No one is allowed to visit on the playground during recess.
  • Any extended visit must be planned in advance with the Principal.
  • We request that parents make an appointment to visit the classrooms because we must ensure that nothing interferes with the allocated time for instruction.
  • If you would like to have a conference with the principal or a teacher, please call the school for an appointment. 
  • Younger children, friends or students from other schools will not be allowed to spend the day in a classroom.  

 

VOLUNTEERS

Riverside loves volunteers.  We love it when family and community get involved at our school. Studies show that students are much more successful when families, volunteers, and teachers work as a team.

The volunteer application process for Horry County Schools is very simple to be complete, but it must be completed annually.

To be a member of Riverside PTO you must have completed an online application and been approved.
