Riverside Middle School will host its Black History Month program, “Remembering Riverside: Then, Now, and Forever,” on Friday, February 27th, from 2:15–3:25 PM.
While the program is not open to the general public due to space limitations, it will be available via live stream for those who would like to watch and support our students. The live stream link will be shared closer to the event date.
We appreciate the community members who are participating in and supporting this special assembly. Thank you for helping us celebrate and honor this important month.

We're on the hunt for visual and performing artists to present at our annual Ag + Arts Day! This is always such an anticipated day for our teachers and students, but it can only be successful if we have amazing presenters! Please check out the details and email Ms. Ryan, Mrs. Williams, or Ms. Ramos if you or someone you know would be willing to volunteer on this special day- May 18th!


Please note that this meeting is at Pendleton HIGH School media center.

Today in Mr. Sheskey’s Robotics class, innovation was on full display! 🚀
Students are working on a wide range of exciting projects — from designing vehicles that measure velocity, to coding computers to create art and geometric designs. While each project looks different, every student is applying critical thinking, problem-solving skills, and creativity in powerful ways. We can’t wait to see these projects continue to develop!

Today in Mrs. McDowell’s Career classes, students continued diving into their Career Research Projects! The focus was on peer review, as students presented their chosen careers in small groups and received meaningful feedback from their classmates. It’s exciting to see students exploring potential career paths and taking ownership of their learning. Great work today! #RMSTeachingandLearning #BulldogBrilliance

Weather Update - Regular School Schedule February 4th, 2026.
Despite some incorrect information circulating in local media, Anderson School District Four will operate on a regular schedule tomorrow.
We look forward to welcoming our students and staff and having a great day of learning. Thank you for your continued support, and we'll see our kids at school tomorrow.

Due to ongoing icy road conditions, Anderson School District 4 will operate on a two-hour delay tomorrow morning, Feb 3rd.
Please be aware that school buses will not operate on roads that are unsafe for travel. At this time, we have approximately 30 roads that remain impassable.
If a bus did not travel down your road last Thursday, it is unlikely that it will be able to pick up students on that same road tomorrow morning. Safety remains our top priority, and bus routes will be adjusted accordingly. Families who live on affected roads should make alternate transportation plans if possible. We appreciate your understanding as we continue to monitor conditions and work to ensure the safety of our students and staff.
Thank you for your patience and partnership.

Dear Anderson 4 Families,
Due to the anticipated winter weather conditions and continued concerns related to freezing rain, sleet, and extremely cold temperatures, Anderson School District 4 will operate on eLearning Day for Monday Jan 26th and Tuesday Jan 27th
We continue to remain in regular communication with the National Weather Service and Anderson County Emergency Management, and we have worked closely with the other Anderson County school districts in making this decision. In addition to road conditions, forecasted temperatures are expected to be extremely cold, which can impact our ability to safely operate school buses, particularly during the early morning hours.
Here are resources and support for families:
https://www.emd.andersonsheriff.org/winterstorm
We also understand that winter weather can result in power outages or connectivity issues that may impact a student’s ability to complete assignments. Families experiencing these challenges should communicate with their school as needed. Flexibility will be provided, and students will not be penalized for circumstances beyond their control.
We appreciate your patience, flexibility, and continued partnership as we prioritize the safety of our students and staff. Updates regarding school operations for the remainder of the week will be communicated as conditions improve and more information becomes available.
