Traffic Safety
A friendly reminder to please be careful where students are crossing both in our drop-off lanes on-campus and on the surrounding streets. Our staff that cross students at the front of our drop-off lanes have nearly been hit by distracted drivers. Please be very careful and watch your speed in and around the school.
Additionally, we've had some close calls reported due to parents dropping off on the school side of Vista del Rio Drive and then trying to U-turn to head back the other way. We want everyone (students and cars) to be safe, so while it might take extra minutes please be safe and respect all safety protocols. We appreciate everyone's cooperation.
SCV All Junior High Track Meet - Parent Volunteers Needed
On November 8th Rio Norte's cross country team is going to be competing in a district wide Jr. High cross country meet. Students were selected for the team in PE and are super excited to represent our school in the competition. We are hoping to support the team with volunteers and donations. We are in need of 3 volunteers to run the snack and water handout tent at Central Park, and some donations to help out. Please click on the Sign-up Genius link below this message.
