We are excited to welcome you to our Back to School Night this Thursday, August 27, from 5:00–6:30 PM! This special evening is an opportunity to visit your child’s classroom, meet their teacher, learn more about the year ahead, and connect with our school community.

Please note that TK, Kindergarten, and Special Education classrooms will not be participating in Back to School Night, as these families were welcomed during our Welcome Back to School Night and Kinder Kickoff on August 11.

Back to School Night is intended as an opportunity for teachers to share information with families and is not a parent conference. Teachers will not be able to hold private conversations about individual students during the event. If you would like to discuss your child’s progress or needs, please email their teacher directly to arrange a one-on-one meeting or plan to attend our Parent Conference Night in October.

Parents will also be able to receive assistance with data confirmation in our Parent Room. In addition, our PTO will be selling snacks and school shirts.

We look forward to welcoming you on Thursday and begin a wonderful school year together!

And then this happened... 💜

Our fifth graders surprised our very own Mrs. Crook with a heartfelt tribute and special speech delivered by Student Council President, Michael Siberio. Michael did an outstanding job putting into words the gratitude, admiration, and love we all feel for Mrs. Crook and her remarkable 30 years of service in education.

Throughout her time at Rio Vista, Mrs. Crook has touched countless lives, inspired generations of students, and left a legacy that will be felt for years to come. While she will be greatly missed, we are so excited for this next chapter in her journey.

Thank you, Mrs. Crook, for your dedication, kindness, and unwavering commitment to our students and school community. We wish you a retirement filled with joy, adventure, and all the happiness you deserve! 💜🐾
