As you will see in this year’s Riverside Review, the last academic school year was another outstanding one for RPDS. Most notably, we celebrated RPDS’s 70th year as a pioneering and beloved independent elementary school, and with the leadership of the Board of Trustees and the help of the community, we completed our new comprehensive strategic plan.
