Rivera Elementary News

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.

Parents in El Rancho Unified know that any time their child is absent from school, they receive a recorded phone message notification from the school. Parents can then work with the school staff if they have any questions or reply to the school to notify them of the reason for the absence if they had not done that already. As of September 2013, El Rancho USD has implemented a new and updated system for contacting parents through the mail. This notifies parents of excessive or unexcused absences, informs parents about specific attendance issues and hopefully assists parents to avoid student truancies. The key purpose of this program and system is to work with our parents and students on the importance of regular attendance which gives schools the best opportunity to provide a quality education for all children.
