CAMPUS CLOSED DURING SCHOOL HOURS
We kindly ask that you refrain from entering the Riffenburgh school campus before 3:00 PM. This helps ensure that our students can fully engage in their classroom activities without distractions, and to ensure our playground is available for grade level/classroom recesses.
We appreciate your understanding and cooperation in creating a focused learning environment for our students. If you need to pick up your child early, please come to the main office for assistance.
