Dear Riverside Community,

      I am delighted to welcome you to another exciting school year at Riverside Elementary! As I begin my second year as your principal, I am filled with a sense of pride and enthusiasm for the journey ahead. Our school is a vibrant and dynamic community, and I am honored to be a part of it.

      Last year, we accomplished so much together, from academic achievements to community-building events. This year, we are committed to building on that success and continuing to create an environment where every student feels valued, supported, and inspired to reach their full potential. Our teachers and students continue to exceed all expectations and I am inspired by this entire community.

      At Riverside Elementary, we provide a safe, inclusive, and stimulating learning environment. We aim to inspire curiosity, creativity, and a lifelong love of learning. Our exceptional team of educators is here to support and guide our students every step of the way. We believe that by working together—students, parents, teachers, and staff—we can achieve great things. Our focus will be on fostering teamwork, encouraging excellence, and nurturing the unique talents of each student. Our community is fortunate to have a vigorous Parent Teacher Organization (PTO) that continues to make quite an impact on our school community. This is achieved through thousands of volunteer hours, and we love the commitment to excellence. Volunteering is another fantastic way to contribute to our school. Please make sure to register as a volunteer by visiting Broward Schools Volunteer Page. Your time and effort make a significant difference in the lives of our students.

      To our returning families, thank you for your continued trust and partnership. To our new families, welcome! We are thrilled to have you join our school community. We look forward to working together to ensure a successful and fulfilling school year for all our students.

      Please explore our website to stay informed about upcoming events, important announcements, and the many wonderful things happening at Riverside Elementary. Feel free to reach out to me or any of our staff members if you have any questions or need assistance.

      Here’s to the BEST YEAR EVER!

Your Proud Principal,

Lisa Balint
