Parent InvolvementTop of Page

We welcome parent involvement at Rio Del Oro Elementary School. Research shows that students whose parents are involved in their education generally are more successful in school and in life.
 
Please visit the school office any time and stay in touch with your child’s teacher – see the Staff Directory for phone numbers and e-mail addresses.
 
We also welcome community participation, including donations of time, money, materials and expertise.
