Our dedicated and talented teachers and staff are eager to support your child. The strong sense of community and parent involvement at Riverview International Academy make our school a success. 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 earned the distinctions as a 2025 California Distinguished School for Exceptional Student Performance <\/em>by the state of California and a 2025-2027 School of Excellence<\/em><\/strong> by the National PTA!<\/p>\n\n\n\n The RIA Family Handbook <\/strong>is current as of the start of the school year in August 2026. 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\/<\/a>. The updated 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. In it, you will also find our school’s Family Engagement Policy<\/strong> and Home-School Compact<\/strong>. These documents, along with our updated RIA Family Handbook, discuss the high expectations that our school has for excellent attendance, behavior, and academic effort! <\/p>\n\n\n\n I am so grateful and fortunate to be serving RIA students and families as well as working alongside our exceptional staff once again this year. Together, we will ensure that children thrive at Riverview International Academy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Warm regards,<\/p>\n\n\n\n John Greenwell<\/p>\n\n\n\n Proud Principal of RIA<\/p>\n\n\n\n The school will make every effort to communicate with a child\u2019s legal parent\/guardian(s).
