Valencia AVID Tailgate (10/27/23)
Valencia High School is inviting the community to their annual AVID Tailgate next month! We will be sending an RSVP next month, so be on the lookout for an official invitation so we can have an accurate estimate of attendance. They will be serving hot dogs and other treats, as well as providing free entry into the football game!
Please Help Us With Attendance!
Remember that instruction begins at 7:50am. Supervision and free school breakfast are available starting at 7:25am, so we encourage you to plan your drop-off for between 7:30-7:40am each day.
*We are averaging 94.2% attendance so far for the start of the year, which is already an improvement over our attendance last year, THANK YOU!!!!
*We are averaging 46 tardies each day (almost 10% of the school..), let's work together to help students start on time
**We need your help with tardies! We begin instruction AT 7:50am, so please arrive early enough for students to get all of their instructional minutes
New Student Enrollment
The new student enrollment date for the 2023-2024 school year will begin on February 14, 2023. Families may register their new student via the online portal here.
Parking Lot Reminders
Our number one priority is the safety of all Rio Vista students and families. Please use the crosswalk in the front parking lot, and only load or unload students in the valet line
(do not drop off in the staff parking lanes).
Please do not walk in the wheelchair accessible area (marked by blue stripes) where we load students into the cars.
Also, please do not park along any red curb as that space needs to be available for emergency services in the case of an emergency. Please be courteous to our neighbors and do not park in front of anyone's driveway.
Make sure to remind your students to pay attention at the dismissal area. If we have to call them more than 3 times and they do not come to the loading zone, we will ask you to go back around in line and we'll try again.
Thank you for working together to keep everyone safe!
Please Contribute to our PTA!
Please consider making a $15 contribution to join our PTA. We always welcome your participation and volunteering, but that is
NOT required to be a member of our PTA.
My commitment to our community is that 100% of our teachers will also be contributing PTA members!
Every dollar Rio Vista receives from PTA dues goes directly to students in the form of field trips, supplies and materials for hands-on learning, and structural upgrades in classrooms such as new flexible seating furniture in the library and computer areas.
