I LOVE THIS SCHOOL I WAS HERE UNTIL PRESCHOOL TO 5TH GRADE AND NOW I MISS MY SCHOOL I GO TO RIVERA MIDDLE SCHOOL

Best school I have ever worked at .... The Principal Mr. Dean Cochran is incredible!!!!! Great Morale throughout campus

After living 3 years in the City Of Commerce, me and my aunt moved to Whittier where its peace and quiet. I was enrolled at Rio Vista School for at least 1 year in the beginning of October 1987, right before Halloween. I met one of the students that rode on the same bus, because I was a new student, and they show me around the whole entire school. They introduced me to the teacher that I never seen before. Her name was Mrs. Jane Larsen, and she's a really cool teacher. I also met the school principal who was very nice, and very cool to other students. His name was Mr. Bob Martinez, and he's a Panther Fan. I remembered the name of the school slogan for Rio Vista School, it was called the Mighty Panthers. Me and my classmates were singing in the school christmas spectacular, we were singing Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer, and Up On The House Top. I attended the 4th grade for 1 year , and I graduated , and I been promoted to the 5th grade. Sometimes I needed improvement in reading, because I wasn't following directions or some stuff like that. I was invited to the school picnic at Rio Vista Park, which was right next to the school, and we all had a nice barbecue , some special events, and many more good stuff. We all had hot dogs and hamburgers, we played frisbee, softball, basketball, and handball. I had a nice time, and I said goodbye to my teacher, and I gave her a nice big hug. I also said goodbye to the principal, and I shook his hand because I graduated in the 4th grade. My aunt was very proud me, because she knows I made it to the next level. And that's the end of my 4th grade year at Rio Vista School. It was the best time in my life.

The principal, staff and teachers are amazing!
