We would love for your family to be part of our wonderfully successful reading program. Click on "HOME CONNECT AR system" above to get the link. As you may know, as part of our AR program, Accelerated Reader, your child takes quizzes on the library books they read. You can receive email notices which will inform you of your child's scores each time he or she takes an AR quiz. It's easy, and it connects your home to our school library.
Log onto our HOME CONNECT link using your child's username and password. Look on the top right hand corner of the page and submit your email address. Your child would love for you to see the exciting library books they're reading, and you'll be surprised at how busy they've been. If you need help finding your username/password, email me, and I will be happy to help you at [email protected]

A big round of applause to our awesome Eagles who have now read 40,000 books this year!! Yes, 40,000!! A big thank you to Miss Cindy, our amazing librarian for encouraging our students to read. If you're not receiving emails when your student tests online, please contact Miss Cindy for assistance.

Dear Parents,
Starting this Monday, February 10th, we will begin to recite the flag salute and character counts pledge every morning at 8:15 am. At this time we will also recognize our Awesome Eagle of the day. An Awesome Eagle is a student who displays great character and chooses to do their best on a daily basis. We would like to start to recognize our students who demonstrate great character more often. So, parents please try your best to get your students here by 8:15am.
Thank you,
Mr. Sermeno

In an effort to reduce the cost of copying and to save some trees the district has now made the food menu available online. We will no longer be making copies but, directing parents and students to view the menu online. It's simple! Just click on the heading above titled "Students" then click "Food Menu" and you will be directed right to the menu.

In normal Rivera Elementary stride, our Eagles have collected the highest amount of box tops in our school’s history! All their hard work has generated the largest reimbursement check we have ever received. The total is a whopping $1,650! Our current student council president, Citlali Adame states, "I challenge all Rivera Elementary Eagles to bring in $2,000 next year". As we know, when our Eagles put their minds to something there is no limit how far they will soar.
