Riojas Elementary School
Back to School 2017
From the Principal
Be Kind. Be Confident. Be Brave. Be You.
We are very excited to see everyone here for Meet the Teacher Thursday evening!
Meet the Teacher
Bring your supplies and come to your classroom. Our whole staff will be here to greet you so make sure you stop by to see the Special Area Teachers and Office Staff, too.
Class Lists
Class lists will be posted at the front of the school at noon on Thursday. We understand you are excited to see who is in your class. However, please do not take pictures of class lists or post them on any social media, as this can be a violation of student privacy. Thank you!
I can't wait to see you at school tomorrow or on the first day!

First Day of School - Monday, August 28
Be Kind.
Traffic patterns will remain the same for morning drop off and afternoon pick up. Students may be dropped off at the main entrance of the building only. Do not drop off in the bus lane on the side of the building or in the parking lot. Please be patient for the first week and especially the first day of school. Drop off and Dismissal just take longer as everyone learns the procedures.
Be Confident.
Here are some tips for getting through the first day of school:
- Drop off and pick up take a long time. Everyone wants to see their child off and greet them on the first day. There are no shortcuts and nothing is wrong. Dropping and picking up just take a long time the first days of school.
- Everything isn’t perfect. New staff members, new enrolling families, new boundaries… Changes mean adjustments and things change all the way to the last minute when schools are enrolling families. Please be patient. We will be able to make adjustments and your students are going to have an outstanding year.
- Buses are not exactly on time. Traffic is never as bad as it is when school is in session. Our transportation department has had drivers running bus routes for days, but traffic slows everything down. In addition, kids are slow to get on buses at first.
- Administrators and counselors are seldom in their office. We are out helping kids, supporting teachers, and solving problems. We will respond to messages as soon as possible.
Be Brave.
We are going to love your child almost as much as you. We are here to take care of these kids, keep them safe, and help them learn. We are your partner and can't wait to meet you and your children!
