It is difficult to read the previous post and have someone try to speak on behalf of the entire Parent/Student community. Our new Principal is a great leader, and he is always extremely professional. He is generous with his time and gives of himself all that he possibly can. He attends every school function and is hands on helping any way he can. He is supportive with any event or activity. His first words are "Let me know how I can help" When disciplining, he means business. What's wrong with that!?...although we miss our past principal's....we are very fortunate to have Mr. Salcido!

This was a great school until the new principal arrived this year. He lacks leadership and experience on working with children. He is unproffesional not a people person. Lacks communication skills. He intimidates the staff to turn against the children for his own personal ego. He doesnt belong at River Glen the kids dont like him and neither do parents or staff. He's turning our family environment into a cold feeling school being run by Mr. Scrooge.

It's been a pleasure and an honor to be part of the River Glen family. I've been a teacher of this school for many years now, and have loved every day of it!

A fabulous school with incredibly dedicated teachers, and very enthusiastic and involved parents. My daughter has excelled in all academic areas. She has finished middle school loving science and is incredibly proud of her bilingual skills. I love this school and cannot imagine my children at any other school.

River Glen is fantastic. My daughter is now graduating after 9 great years from a caring community that absolutely integrates parents-teachers-kids-volunteers. She is so prepared for high school; as a fluent Spanish-speaker non-latina, she is already special. I'm glad my 4th grader has years to go, so I don't yet have to say good-bye to my RG family.

The sense of community- the parents and teachers are very involved, much like a private school. The bilingual immersion program pushes the non-Spanish-speaking kids to excel and boosts the confidence and performance of the English learners.

The immersions program rocks as do the totally committed teachers. The family community is the best. Being part of the huge San Jose Unified school district can be frustrating and I do think the administration needs strong leadership in order for the school to maintain high standards.
