📅 October is the beginning of financial aid season! Know the facts! 💡
✅ Every student should apply for federal and state funds, regardless if they think they are going to get the award or not.
⏰ The earlier the application is submitted, the better the chances for funds to be set aside for your student.
📝 Adjustments to the forms can be made in some cases if financial status changes between now and college enrollment.
🎓 Financial Aid can be used to cover costs at public colleges (FSCJ, UNF, etc.), some private schools (JU, Flagler, etc.) and some trade schools (ex. J-Tech). 🛠️
❓ Need more info? Attend the RHS Parent Night Thursday, Oct. 15th at 5:30 p.m. 💙💚 Info available for 10th, 11th, and 12th grade parents!

Amendment 3 and the Duval County Public Schools 1-mill referendum are two separate items on the November 3 ballot.
🏫 The 1-mill referendum is a continuation of the millage approved by Duval County voters in 2022. It supports school funding, including teacher pay, as well as arts and athletics.
🏠 Amendment 3 is a proposed change to the Florida Constitution addressing property taxes statewide. The amendment excludes school funding.
Take a look at the graphic for a quick side-by-side comparison and visit www.DuvalSchools.org/Vote for more information about the 1-mill referendum.

The 2026 - 2027 school year started off on a high note for the Riverside High School Band, as they received new instruments due to a grant from the Mr. Holland's Opus Foundation. The new band equipment - totaling over $38,000 - will help expand opportunities for student musicians and strengthen the school's band program for years to come. Congratulations, RHS Band!
FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL - The countdown is on — just ONE month until the first day of school on Monday, Aug. 10. Take small steps now to get ready: Adjust sleep schedules a little each week, gather school supplies and organize backpacks, keep learning going with 20 minutes of reading or math each day, mark important school dates on your family calendar, and start practicing morning routines. We can't wait to welcome everyone back for another amazing year!
RIVERSIDE HIGH EXPECTATIONS – We’d like to give a shoutout to the School Counseling department at Riverside High for their recent event for high school seniors. Working with community partners, they helped students complete FSCJ, military, and financial aid applications. As a result, they boosted post-secondary plans to 80%, scholarships to $6+ million, and Bright Futures to 78%! They are a shining example of how to prepare students for success after high school.
REGISTER FOR A BUS TODAY - Bus registration for the 2026–2027 school year is now open. All students who plan to ride a school bus next year must be registered in advance, including students enrolled in self-contained ESE programs. Families are encouraged to register as early as possible to help ensure a smooth start to the school year. Registration forms are available in Focus. For step-by-step instructions on how to complete the process, visit: www.duvalschools.org/busregistration
A CELEBRATION OF INSTANT DECISION DAY – This shoutout celebrates the success of Riverside High School’s Instant Decision Day, an on-campus event connecting students with colleges, trade schools, and more! Students met with representatives from around Florida, Georgia, and Alabama, and had their applications reviewed for on-the-spot decisions. According to School Counselor Dr. Kristi Keefe, “Everyone walked away with something valuable, from advice to admission and scholarship offers! Kudos to those who took the time to prepare and participate. Your hard work is paying off!”
Come out to support our Riverside Band program at the upcoming Holiday Concert!
Riverside HS Graduation date has been released - Wednesday May 20th at 7:00 pm at the Vystar Arena.
