Principal's Message

Welcome to the new Rivera Elementary School website! Rivera Elementary serves kindergarten through fifth grade with a student population of approximately 700 students. This year we have a full time teaching staff of 25 in addition to one full time Resource Teacher, one full time Instructional Coach, one shared Speech Therapist, and a shared Psychologist.

I am delighted to report that the Rivera students made excellent progress on the STAR testing (best in the District). The API score increased by 11 points as Rivera scored 821. I commend the parents and families for your involvement and support that helps to bring about continued progress.

Modified days will be every Wednesdays of each month. Students will be dismissed at 12:30 p.m. and kinders will be dismissed at 12:05 pm. This time allows teachers professional time to make data driven decisions about the best teaching practices and to focus on student learning. Together, Rivera teachers continue to improve instruction that will result in student improvement in order for all children to learn and ensure that no child is left behind.

Our Parent Teacher Organization (PTO) is the foundation of our school volunteerism. We are very thankful for these special parents and family members for volunteering countless hours to make our school a better place.

I welcome your comments and questions. Please email me at
