There will be no school Tuesday, November 11th due to Veteran's Day. Veterans Day is a federal holiday celebrated on November 11 to honor and thank all who served honorably in the United States Armed Forces, in wartime or peacetime. It is a day to acknowledge the sacrifices and contributions of living veterans. Thank you to all Veterans everywhere!

Fall Screeners for Preschool are this Friday at Riverdale. Please share with your friends and family that we are doing our next round of screeners on October 31st, 2025!! They can sign up by calling Ms. Ronda at (815) 625-5280.

Why is preschool important?
Preschool plays a vital role in early childhood development by nurturing key social-emotional skills such as sharing, cooperation, and empathy. Through language-rich environments and engaging problem-solving activities, it fosters cognitive growth and critical thinking. Hands-on play promotes physical development and fine motor skills, while structured routines and exploration build independence and self-confidence. High-quality preschool programs like we have here at Riverdale also cultivate a lifelong love of learning, laying a strong foundation for academic readiness and long-term success in school and life.
