Meet Dos Rios Elementary Principal Renee Estrella-Chavez

Welcome Dos Rios Elementary Families!

I am Renee Estrella-Chavez and I would like to welcome you to the 2024-2025 school year! This is my 24th year in education and I am proud to be here serving the Dos Rios community! During my years as an educator, I have served as a classroom teacher, reading interventionist, 21st Century coordinator, instructional coach, professional development coordinator, GCU professor and assistant principal. I am also a wife and a mother to three children, 13, 15 and 26 years old.

I am looking forward to the new year because together, we will continue to inspire hope and empower all of our kindergarten-8th grade students to reach their goals and dreams. We will do this collaboratively with the support of you, parents, and the community.

Here at Dos Rios, we believe ALL students are capable of success and able to grow academically as well as social emotionally. To do that we provide high quality curriculum and instruction along with Positive Behavior Intervention and Supports (PBIS) and Skills and Expectations learning. Our schoolwide expectations to Be Safe, Responsible and Kind are taught and reinforced throughout the campus to provide a predictable environment in which to learn and grow. These structures allow our school to reinforce positive student behaviors and teach the skills needed to be a successful citizen of our community.

Thank you for choosing Dos Rios and I look forward to partnering with you to support you and our students in the coming school year.

Sincerely,

Renee Estrella-Chavez-Principal
