Margarita Hernandez: This school has been a blessing for my child. They amount of children per class made a huge difference in the learning attention each student receives. My daughter has excelled in each subject in her third grade class. A 'Big' thank you to all the teachers and staff at Rio Vista Elementary School. We have enjoyed all the activities, dances, and carnivals on the school grounds. My daughter loves the breakfast and lunches meals. I know she is receiving a good healthy meal on a daily basis. Keep up the excellent work!
