Administration

Hello, my name is Karen Satter and I am the principal at Riverside Middle School. Over the past 28 years, I have worked in the field of education as a counselor, teacher, dean, athletic director, instructional coach, and principal for grades K-12 in 6 different buildings.

For the past 20 years I have worked in the Garfield Re-2 School District and 17 of those years at Riverside Middle School.  Riverside is a very special school where we are a family and truly care about one another. I am grateful to lead such a wonderful school in an amazing valley that includes our two communities of Silt and New Castle.  I have two children who attended elementary school at Kathryn Senor, middle school at Riverside, and high school at Coal Ridge. Both of my sons graduated from the University of Wyoming with business marketing and business communication degrees. Go Pokes!

I feel extremely grateful to call this valley our home with the fantastic people that live here and the quality of life we have.  I enjoy the outdoors and love to be active by hiking, biking, swimming, skiing, reading,  and playing games with family and friends.  I look forward to a great year and I am excited to be back in school.  Please feel free to contact me with any questions you may have.  Go Vikings!!!

My name is Mrs. Bailey, and I am one of the assistant principals at Riverside Middle School. I taught 6th grade ELA at our school for the first 11 years of my career, and I am currently in my second year as AP. I have a bachelor’s degree in elementary education from Grace College and a master’s degree in curriculum and instruction from Western Governors University.

My husband and I live in Parachute where I went to school from kindergarten through my senior year. I am excited to continue to be at Riverside with the best kids and the best staff around.

Please feel free to contact me with any questions you may have. 

Go Vikings!!!
