More Information
Rio Vista has highly qualified staff involved in on-going professional training. We serve students from kindergarten through fifth grade. All students receive 90 minutes of direct reading instruction at their grade level, which is determined by classroom assessments and our Measure of Academic Performance (MAP) testing results. Grades K-5 use Houghton Mifflin Harcourt for their reading instruction. They also use the research-based program, Everyday Mathematics, for their math instruction.
Our school provides instruction for students with special needs and interests through the English Language Development program, gifted education (REACH), special education, response to intervention (RTI), and tutoring.
All students participate in P.E., art, computer, library, music, and STEM classes. We also offer students opportunities to participate in robotics, student council, band, orchestra, and other extracurricular activities.

ParentSquare
All schools in our district use ParentSquare for school communication primarily with email, text, and app notifications.
ParentSquare automatically syncs with our student information system to generate an account for each parent, using their preferred email address and phone number. We encourage parents to access their accounts so they can download the mobile app and update their preferences on when and how they are notified.
ParentSquare is a safe, secure, and modern approach to communication and collaboration between school and home. Learn more and get started today by viewing our ParentSquare web page.
