Dos Rios Elementary School

I had a wonderful experience today. My grandson invited me to the Veteran's Day breakfast. I was overwhelmed with the way the students treated all us veterans with respect and dignity. I truly felt appreciated for my service and was delighted with the way all the students interacted with every one of us Veterans. Thank you for having us and for making my day with this great experience. Jim Brown, MSgt, USAF (Retired)

Our son is now in 1st grade and we love this school. At the end of Kindergarten the students were able to read in 2 languages, write paragraphs in 2 languages and count over 100 in 2 languages. There are a lot of interventions to help kids who are having difficulties and for kids who are advanced adding another language is a great way to challenge them. The school uses positive behavior systems to encourage positive behavior and in the classroom the kids are supported not criticized or ridiculed. They implemented a plan to decrease playground fights and essentially eliminated it. This school is amazing, the principal, the teachers, the support staff, even the custodians are all amazing and enthusiastic about their jobs and their school. I am english dominant, but totally appreciate that this school allows spanish dominant parents the opportunity to really know what their kids are doing as everyone who works here is biliterate.

my daughter is really happy at this school, the staff are all great people. teachers are good in communicating with parents and childrens are safe at the building.. really happy..the only concern my daughter has it is about the food Not good at all. she saids a lot a kids prefer to go back home with an empty stomach after a long day at school because they do not like the lunch menu. hope they can do something about it. this will make it a 5 starz school.

This is a great school espicially for a child who has dyslexia. The teachers work well at giving the child extra one on one. The school does not have a SPED program, but many of the teachers have done various forms of SPED training and help a child with learning needs not feel out of place.
