The faculty and staff of River Road Elementary want to welcome all parents and students to our school. We believe that "children come first" and plan our programs and activities with that belief in mind. We have high expectations for student performance and feel that our students are exceptional. Classes are offered from Pre-Kindergarten through 5th grade. In addition we have extracurricular clubs and organizations which students in grades 3-5 are encouraged to join. We are very proud of our school. Anyone interested is invited to visit us anytime.
