The Riverside Middle School Improvement Council wants to hear from our families. This short survey will help us understand what parents want to learn, how families would like to be involved, and how we can strengthen partnerships with our local community. Thank you for helping us build an even stronger Riverside!
We had such an amazing turn out for our Student Lighthouse Team! Thank you for all that applied and showed interest. Emails will be sent out to those who made our team. If you do not receive an email, please don't be defeated as we have lots of other opportunities at RMS that we will recommend you for, so stay tuned.
Riverside Middle School is looking for parents, staff, and community members to join the School Improvement Council (SIC) — a group required by South Carolina law that partners with the school to shape its improvement plan and support the RMS community.
SIC members help develop school events like STEM career fairs, organize Parent Academy nights to support RMS families, and brainstorm ways to improve the student experience. The group meets once a month for about an hour in the morning.
Anyone who is a parent, staff member, or community member is welcome to join. Interested? Contact SIC chair Cara Fern at cara.m.fern@gmail.com.

Whether you’re navigating middle school for the first time or looking to connect with other families, this will be a welcoming space to learn something new, share ideas, ask questions and build meaningful relationships. Our first meet up will be on September 15th at 12:30pm. The specific dates and Google Meet links for each month will be posted in advance on the RMS School Counseling website.
