WELCOME NEW FAMILIES
A message from our Administration
Congratulations on your acceptance to Riverside Magnet School and welcome to the RMS family!
Important: You must accept or decline your placement offer by the date indicated on the email from the Regional School Choice Office (RSCO).
To accept or decline your placement offer please visit www.rsco2.ct.gov
Next log-in to the RSCO’s online system with the User ID and Password you created to submit your child’s lottery application. Next you will be given the option to accept or decline your placement offer.
The value we place on building relationships and supporting children and families begins immediately upon the acceptance of your lottery seat. Once you accept your seat through the RSCO website, our school will contact you to continue the registration process. You will be receiving a link and access code to begin registration through Powerschool Enrollment.
We are here for you and will assist you through each step of the process.
Our community believes that every student is capable of great success when challenged within a nurturing environment built upon purposeful learning experiences and genuine relationships. As a Reggio Emilia inspired school, the learning process is celebrated in a way that promotes children’s social, emotional, physical, and academic development. At RMS, authentic educational experiences are developed to inspire critical thinkers, effective communicators, and lifelong learners.
If you are a family of a preschooler, please pay close attention to the preschool tuition guidelines under “frequently asked questions” (FAQ tab).
We look forward to having you and your child join our caring and positive learning community!
With warmest regards,
Riverside Administration
