Join Riverside Arts Market and Jax4Kids.com in celebrating being a kid! RAM is always full of kid-friendly entertainment and activities such as our Children’s Creativity Corner, balloon artists and face painters, but what better time to ramp things up than the start of summer vacation and the day before National Children’s Day (Sunday, June 8th). Entertainment will be geared towards kids - making sure there’s plenty for them to do. Special booth spaces will be occupied by local businesses and organizations of interest to families with children.

How do I see my counselor?

WALK-INS WELCOME!

Before or after school you can always come by to see us! Especially if you aren't trying to catch a bus. If you are a bus rider, the best way to see us is to make an appointment.

APPOINTMENTS ENCOURAGED!
We want to give you our UNDIVIDED attention and with the number of tasks a school counselor has, that can be difficult when walking in or simply stopping by. Student Counselor Request Forms can be picked up in guidance (before or after school or between classes) and dropped off in guidance (before or after school or between classes). They sit on Ms. Menter's desk. Simply fill one out, leave it for us and we will be sure to call you out of class!
