Riverdale Academy is gearing up for the new school year with a sweet start. Students and families are invited to an Ice Cream Social on Wednesday, August 7 from 5-7pm. The event will give students a chance to meet teachers, reconnect with classmates, and enjoy a cool treat before classes officially begin.

The 2025–2026 school year will kick off the next day, Friday, August 8, with a half-day of instruction for grades 1 through 12. School officials say the short day is designed to ease students back into the classroom routine and allow time for final preparations.

Parents are encouraged to attend the social and help make the first week of school a welcoming and memorable experience for all.
