Off-Campus Worship

9/13/2024

Riverside families,

Please give your permission for your cadet to attend only one worship service each Sunday morning. We're having cadets signed up to attend both services which are held at the same time in two different places. This can create confusion for our TAC officers, cadets, and transportation drivers. Also, be sure that you and your cadet have mutually agreed that he will attend a worship service on Sunday morning. I know this seems like a simple request, but it will eliminate any disagreement with the cadets and their TAC officers.
