Rio Vista Elementary School

We are proud to provide an educational experience that helps every child learn, progress and achieve. Our school offers the AVID (Advancement Via Individual Determination) program, a transformative college and career readiness initiative. AVID equips students with the skills and support they need to excel in rigorous academic environments and achieve their dreams. Through personalized learning plans, a dedicated AVID elective class, and a school-wide commitment to excellence, our students develop critical thinking, organization, and leadership skills.

Rio Vista is internationally recognized for our outstanding robotics program that engages students and teaches them STEM concepts through hands-on learning. Our school is also proud to offer a one-to-one laptop program, ensuring every student has access to their own device for learning both in and out of the classroom. With these initiatives and others, Rio Vista supports digital literacy, enhances collaboration, and gives students the tools they need to succeed in today’s tech-driven world. With access to cutting-edge educational software, online resources, and interactive learning platforms, our students are equipped to think critically, create boldly, and stay connected in a modern learning environment.

"At our school, we set high expectations and offer strong support to help each student succeed. That work starts in the classroom, but it’s strengthened by what happens at home. Together, we can help our students become confident readers, problem-solvers, and kind classmates." --Principal Mamie Spillane (pictured her at far right)

At Imagine Preschools, we believe that the early years are the foundation for a lifetime of learning. Our programs for children ages 3 to 5 are thoughtfully designed to spark curiosity, build confidence, and nurture a love of discovery. Through hands-on activities, imaginative play, and age-appropriate academics, children develop essential skills in literacy, math, social-emotional growth, and more, all in a safe, caring, and joyful environment. With passionate educators and a focus on whole-child development, Imagine Preschools help young learners take their first steps toward a bright and successful future.

Students who attend Rio Vista Elementary School have educational opportunities that are personalized to their needs. We believe in every child's potential, beginning in preschool through fifth grade, when they move on to middle school. Our highly qualified teachers are equipped with the training and skills to help our students grow academically and socially.

We believe in the promise of every student, and we promise to deliver the educational experiences children need to grow and flourish, from the first day of their kindergarten year to the day they walk across the stage and earn their high school diplomas. One of our core missions is to deliver on the Promise of a Graduate, instilling eight key skills and characteristics in our students as they grow from year to year. Those qualities are Scholarship, Creative Thinking, Problem Solving, Critical Thinking, Collaboration, Communication, Caring and Citizenship.
