Dear Tomás Rivera Families,
Welcome to the 2024-2025 school year! As the principal, it is my pleasure to extend a warm welcome to all our students and their families. We are excited to have you as part of our school community, and we look forward to a year filled with learning, growth, and achievement.
We are committed to inspiring educational excellence, well-being, and equity for all. Our dedicated team of educators is passionate about fostering a love for learning and helping each student reach their full potential. We believe in the importance of a strong partnership between home and school, and we encourage you to be actively involved in your child's education.
At Rivera, we encourage our students to HOWL their way through the day. These four key expectations guide our school community:
- Hardworking: We encourage our students to put forth their best effort in all their endeavors, be diligent, and strive for excellence in academics and personal growth.
- Open-Minded: We foster an environment where students are encouraged to be curious, embrace new ideas, respect diverse perspectives, and learn from one another.
- Wise Choices: We guide our students to make thoughtful decisions that reflect good judgment and integrity, considering the well-being of themselves and others.
- Live Responsibly: We teach our students the importance of taking responsibility for their actions, being dependable, and contributing positively to our school and community.
Communication is key to a successful school year, and we are committed to keeping you informed and engaged. This year, our district will be making the transition to ParentSquare, a comprehensive communication platform for schools and families. Please make sure to download the ParentSquare app to receive regular updates from the school and your child’s teacher. For more information, please visit the following website: https://www.riversideunified.org/parents/parent_square_parent_resources
If you ever have questions, concerns, or suggestions, do not hesitate to reach out to me or any member of our staff. We value your feedback and are here to support you and your child. Together, we can create a positive and enriching educational experience for our students.
Thank you for entrusting us with your child's education. We look forward to a fantastic school year filled with discovery, achievement, and joy.
Thank you,
Dr. Ashley Fulmer
Principal
