Wellness Wednesday was a hit! During lunch, students enjoyed music, games, and a special Helping Hand activity. A huge THANK YOU to our amazing counselor, Mrs. Ibarra, for creating these opportunities to support our students’ well-being and bring our school community together!
Mrs. Stanley’s and Ms. Sarah’s TK class had a blast incorporating play-based learning to build early math and critical thinking skills. Students explored attributes today and sorted by color and size.
Huge thank you to our local Rotary Club for visiting Rio Vista today and donating a brand-new dictionary to every single 3rd grader! Our students were so excited to receive their very own copy and can’t wait to put them to use.
We also got to see our amazing SRO and other VC Sheriff’s Officers. Thank you for stopping by and for the cool sheriff stickers!
We are grateful for the generosity and support that helps make our school community so special!

A big THANK YOU to Bank of the Sierra for their generous $250 donation and for providing backpacks for our Rio Vista Elementary students!
We are so grateful for their continued partnership and support of education. Together, we’re helping our students shine!
At Rio Vista we believe in starting strong together!
This week, our principal, Ms Kelp met with every grade level to talk about our school expectations, build community, and set a positive tone for the year ahead. When students know what’s expected, they feel safe, supported, and ready to learn, and that’s exactly the foundation we want for a successful year!
3rd graders in Mrs. Lamiell’s class dove into math with counting collections! Students worked together to sort, group, and explore numbers in hands-on ways. This activity helps build number sense, problem-solving strategies, and teamwork all while making math fun and meaningful!
Don’t forget tomorrow is Thursday!
