New Early Education Wing Viewable At Riviera Beach Open House

Families can check out the new Riviera Beach Elementary School early childhood education wing at its open house Aug. 29 from 2:30 to 3:30 p.

PASADENA, MD — Families hoping to catch a sneak peek at the new early childhood education wing constructed at Riviera Beach Elementary can do so Thursday, Aug. 29, from 2:30 to 3:30 p.m. The school is located at 8515 Jenkins Rd. in Pasadena.

The wing has four classrooms that will house three kindergarten and one pre-kindergarten classroom. The new wing allows the rooms to be next to each other instead of being scattered around the building. Each classroom contains a SMART board designed to increase student engagement. The windows also are equipped with filters to prevent ultraviolet light from creeping in.

To improve security, the construction project created a vestibule at the main entrance. Once a visitor is buzzed into the building, he or she will enter the vestibule first before being admitted access to the building.
