That’s a wrap on our TK/K Bootcamp!
Our youngest learners had a blast getting to know their classrooms, learning routines, playing games, and making new friends. We’re so proud of how much they’ve grown in just a few days and now they’re more than ready to kick off the school year!
We can’t wait to see everyone back on Wednesday, August 13th for the first day of school!
Registration Night : August 1 @ 1pm-7pm
Rio Vista will be holding their annual registration night this Friday August 1st from 1:00-7:00 pm. Come find out who your child's teacher will be for this school year! We will have staff on site to help families complete their enrollment. Please bring any documents needed.
It’s the final week of our TK/K Bootcamp!

Welcome to the 2025–2026 school year!
Welcome to the 2025–2026 school year! My name is Kayleigh Kelp, and I am honored to introduce myself as the new principal of Rio Vista Elementary. I am truly excited to join this vibrant community and look forward to meeting each of you in the weeks ahead.
Please take a moment to carefully review our school procedures via our website. All families should receiving also be receiving a back to school packet in the mail that includes some of our policies and schedules, as well as important information about communicating with school staff and our bullying prevention expectations. At Rio Vista, we emphasize kindness in all that we do, and we ask all adults to model respectful behavior as well.
If you haven’t already, please sign up for Parent Square to receive important updates from our school. It is our main communication tool. If you need help getting connected, our front office is happy to assist. I will be sharing a school newsletter each month via Parent Sqaure so be on the lookout for the first back to school "Rio Vista Review" newsletter coming soon!
Families are an essential part of our school community. I encourage you to get involved, whether through our Parent Club, volunteering in the classroom, or attending school events. Your partnership and participation make a meaningful difference. Please be sure to complete the FUSD Volunteer Applications that can be found on the District Website (this application needs to be completed each school year).
The elementary years are foundational in a child’s life, and I am committed to making this school year both meaningful and memorable for your family. Please don’t hesitate to reach out to me with questions, concerns, or even just to say hello.
To help ease the transition into the new year, parents and guardians will be allowed to walk students to class during the first three days of school. After that, we ask parents/guardians to say goodbye at the gate. I look forward to meeting you all on the 1stday of school, August 13th, 2025!
Go Roadrunners! Beep! Beep!
Kayleigh Kelp
Rio Vista Principal
¡Bienvenidos al año escolar 2025–2026! Mi nombre es Kayleigh Kelp y tengo el honor de presentarme como la nueva directora de la Escuela Primaria Rio Vista. Estoy muy emocionada de unirme a esta comunidad tan vibrante y espero conocer a cada uno de ustedes en las próximas semanas.
Por favor, tómese un momento para revisar cuidadosamente los procedimientos escolares disponibles en nuestro sitio web. Todas las familias también deberían estar recibiendo por correo un paquete de regreso a clases que incluye algunas de nuestras políticas y horarios, además de información importante sobre cómo comunicarse con el personal escolar y nuestras expectativas de prevención del acoso escolar. En Rio Vista, enfatizamos la amabilidad en todo lo que hacemos, y pedimos a todos los adultos que también modelen un comportamiento respetuoso.
Si aún no lo ha hecho, por favor regístrese en Parent Square para recibir actualizaciones importantes de nuestra escuela. Es nuestra herramienta principal de comunicación. Si necesita ayuda para conectarse, nuestra oficina estará encantada de ayudarle. Estaré compartiendo un boletín escolar cada mes a través de Parent Square, así que esté atento al primer boletín de regreso a clases titulado "Rio Vista Review", ¡que llegará pronto!
Las familias son una parte esencial de nuestra comunidad escolar. Les animo a participar, ya sea a través de nuestro Club de Padres, como voluntarios en el salón de clases, o asistiendo a los eventos escolares. Su colaboración y participación marcan una gran diferencia. Por favor, asegúrese de completar la Solicitud de Voluntariado de FUSD, que se puede encontrar en el sitio web del distrito (esta solicitud debe completarse cada año escolar).
Los años de primaria son fundamentales en la vida de un niño, y me comprometo a que este año escolar sea significativo y memorable para su familia. No dude en comunicarse conmigo si tiene preguntas, inquietudes o simplemente para saludar.
Para facilitar la transición al nuevo año, se permitirá que los padres y tutores acompañen a los estudiantes a sus salones durante los primeros tres días de clases. Después de eso, pedimos que los padres/tutores se despidan en la entrada. ¡Espero conocerlos a todos el primer día de clases, el 13 de agosto de 2025!
¡Vamos Roadrunners! ¡Bip, bip!
