RHS Parent Involvement Day

The pieces of the puzzle came together last month. In coordination with the Raiders PTSA monthly parent lunch, the Riverdale High School staff and students recognized National Parent and Community Involvement Day. 

Dr. Terry Young,  principal, welcomed the parents and expressed his appreciation to them, community members, and local businesses for their involvement with the students of Riverdale High School. 

Mayor Evelyn-Wynn Dixon, and two SRO's from the city of Riverdale, were present to address parents on the importance of parental and community involvement in student success. 

According to Kathy Cox, state superintendent of schools, being involved in a child's education is not a part-time job; it is a 24-hour-a-day, seven-day-a-week pursuit that lasts throughout the year. In general, great parent involvement means making sure your child knows that you value his or her education more than anything else.
