Hello Rio Seco Families,
I am so excited to join the Rio Seco community as your new Vice Principal! I have been in education for 30 years, serving in a variety of roles including elementary classroom teacher, technology resource teacher supporting preschool through middle school, instructional coach, and principal for eight years. Throughout my career, I’ve been passionate about helping students and teachers thrive, and I’m thrilled to now bring that experience to Rio Seco — a school that is especially close to my heart as it’s right here in my own neighborhood.
I look forward to getting to know all of our students and families as we work together to support the success of every child. On a personal note, I am the proud parent of five children, a grandparent to nine wonderful grandchildren, and the happy owner of one very cute little dog.
I can’t wait to meet you all and begin this exciting journey together!
I look forward to a wonderful year full of learning, growth, and meaningful connections. Let’s make 2025–2026 a great year!

With gratitude,
Mrs. Suffield
Vice Principal
