Dear Riverview International Academy Families,
It is with great enthusiasm that I welcome you to Southern California’s Premier Mandarin and Spanish Immersion School, Riverview International Academy! At Riverview International Academy (RIA), we are committed to fostering a welcoming and inclusive community that values collaboration, learning, and growth for all of our learners. We believe in creating a culture of thinking within our learning environment, where every student is encouraged to explore, inquire, and grow. Our staff pays close attention to the unique needs of each child and provides targeted, differentiated instruction to match those needs.
As a school of choice in the Lakeside Union School District, our school community is composed of individuals representing a diverse and wonderful range of backgrounds! This diversity enriches our learning environment and prepares our students to thrive in an increasingly global society: Afterall, we are creating tomorrow’s global leaders today!
The strong sense of community and parent involvement at Riverview International Academy is what makes our school wonderful. I encourage you to get involved with our PTSA, SSC, or ELAC. You may also wish to serve as a volunteer for our school, such as reading in the classroom or chaperoning a field trip. Together, we create a supportive school that champions the academic, social, and emotional development of every child. It is through the collective efforts of our entire school and district community that we have garnered the distinction as a 2025 California Distinguished School for Exceptional Student Performance!
The RIA Family Handbook is current as of the start of the school year in August 2025. The purpose of this handbook is to provide you with general information about our school and an overview of school policies and procedures. It is also available on our school website: https://www.lsusd.net/riverview/. The RIA Family Handbook is intended to be informative and provide you with policies, procedures, and other information pertinent to our school. Please take some time to read through it, explain what it means with your child, and have it available for easy reference throughout the school year.
I am so grateful and fortunate to be serving RIA students and families as well as working alongside our exceptional staff this year. Together, we will ensure that children thrive at Riverview International Academy.
Warm regards,
(John Greenwell)
