Rio Lindo’s teachers are aware of student needs and how to help address student needs in an engaging way that will help all children learn to their highest potential. Staff connect with students, provide instructional routines which reach a variety of learning styles, offer small group and individual support and will ensure that students have access to intervention and special education resources as needed. We do this by offering a variety of engaging activities as well as providing inquiry based lessons which further broadens student’s experiences and connections to adults on campus. Our goal is to expand these experiences so we reach beyond academic success and help all children become well rounded and caring community members.
