Welcome to the Rivera Middle School website! As your principal, I am thrilled to extend a warm welcome to all of our students, parents, staff, and community members. 

At Rivera Middle School, we believe in the potential of every student and are committed to academic excellence, character development, and the overall well-being of our students. We believe that a positive and respectful learning environment is essential for academic success and personal growth. To maintain this environment, we have established clear behavior expectations for all students. These guidelines are based on students showing their ARMOR - Achievement, Respect, Motivation, Organization, and Responsibility.

Middle school is a time of intellectual growth and exploration. It is the perfect time for students to explore their interests and discover their talents. We offer a wide range of extracurricular activities, including sports, drama, band/color guard, School of Rock, eSports, and more. By participating in these activities, students develop confidence, teamwork, and leadership skills that are invaluable for their future.

We believe that strong communication and collaboration between school and home are vital for student success. We encourage parents and guardians to stay involved in their children’s education and to reach out with any questions or concerns. 

I would also like to encourage you to stay informed about important updates and events through our website and ParentSquare communications. We are excited about the opportunities and challenges ahead.

Thank you for being part of the Rivera Middle School family. We look forward to having a wonderful year!

Warm regards,

Mystee Schindler, M.Ed.
Principal, Rivera Middle School
