With a mental health focus, our program provides therapeutic services to students in grades K-8. Small class sizes - no more than eight students per teacher - mean lots of individualized attention. Each classroom is assigned a special education teacher and two paraprofessionals.

Students' mental health needs are addressed through daily group enrichment activities that are run by a social worker and a mental health practitioner. Our dedicated staff works closely with caregivers and community providers to ensure a program that meets each student's needs. Through our motivational behavior program, students work in a token economy by earning points for demonstrating safe, respectful and responsible behaviors.

I am Katie Horton, the proud principal of RiverEast. I have been the principal at RiverEast since 2016 and in SPPS since 2001.
