RP: Spring Parent Day-Last day to sign up

2/5/2026

Registration deadline is today Thursday, February 5, 2026

All parents, guardians, and guests planning to come on campus for Parents’ Day must complete the Parents’ Day registration form, even if you plan to attend only no-cost events, such as the parade or awards ceremony. Registration helps us plan for attendance, seating, parking, shuttles, and accessibility needs.

Cadets do NOT need to be registered to attend Parents’ Day events. The only reason to register your cadet is if you would like to pre-order a Chick-fil-A boxed lunch for your cadet to eat with you. Cadets without a lunch pre-order will be served their regular on-campus meal.

RP: Winter Storm Update 01/26/26

1/26/2026

Parents, Grandparents, and Guardians,

Riverside will operate with a delayed opening and in-person classes on Tuesday, January 27, with Employees and Day Cadets reporting at 9:30 a.m. if they are able to do so. The main roads in Gainesville are much improved today, but conditions in your area may be different.

Please exercise your best judgment in determining when your cadet should return to school. Any cadet who cannot safely return to school before 0930 tomorrow will be granted an excused absence for Tuesday and allowed to make up any missed assignments. With that said, please communicate with your TAC Officer if your cadet will be absent (or late) on Tuesday.

The uniform for cadets on Tuesday will be the Class B uniform. See below for the modified daily schedule:

Reveille: 0830 - 0915

RP: Winter Weather Update 01/25/26

1/25/2026

Dear Parents, Grandparents, and Guardians,

Bottom line up front: we do not recommend that any cadet attempt to return to campus today.

Winter Storm Fern has arrived and will be with us throughout much of the day. While we still have power, heat, and internet for the 90+ cadets who remain on campus, weather conditions are expected to deteriorate throughout the day followed by freezing temperatures overnight.

With this circumstance in mind, we plan a digital learning day for Monday. Each teacher will be posting a new assignment in Google classroom today by 4 p.m. Ideally, these assignments will not require electricity or internet to complete.

With that said, cadets are encouraged to check Google Classroom today while they still have power and internet to make note of the assignments they should complete on Monday. Cadets on campus will complete these assignments during structured time between 11 a.m. and 3 p.m., during which times, teachers will be monitoring their email for questions (as possible). Cadets who are off campus may complete these assignments at other times but are reminded that teachers will be most available during the structured time.

As the worst of the storm has yet to come, it is premature to make plans beyond Monday. We will be monitoring conditions and provide further guidance as soon as possible.

Please know that the Academy is well-provisioned and prepared for this weather event. Our generators are topped off with fuel, our freezers are full of food, and dedicated staff remain on campus to care for your cadets. Should you have specific questions or concerns, please call the duty phone at 770-533-2960.

The safety and well-being of our cadets and faculty & staff continue to be the highest priority. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Robert "Britt" Daniel, J.D.
