A message from the Principal

I am both honored and excited to introduce myself as the new Principal of Riverview School.  I have been in education for 25 years, with 23 of those years here in the Dysart Unified School District. I have held multiple roles, including teacher, instructional coach, and administrator in my years of education.  I have been serving as a principal for the last 10  years.  On a personal note, my family plays a big part in who I am as an educator.  We are a proud Dysart family!  I have four amazing children, ages 22, 14, 11, and 7, all of whom have either graduated from or are currently students in Dysart.  We all share a love for sports and sporting events! 


I have always believed that a strong partnership between school and home is essential for fostering a positive, well-rounded experience for each child. I am deeply committed to working alongside you, our dedicated staff, and our students to create a connected community where high levels of learning occur for all in a safe and respectful learning environment. 


I am eager to meet all of you and to learn more about your children, your hopes for their educational journey, and what makes Riverview School special to you.  As a parent and educator myself, I understand the importance of clear communication and strong collaboration. I encourage you to reach out to me with any questions, concerns, or ideas you may have.   


I am so grateful for this opportunity to serve this amazing community!  I am so excited to see the amazing things we will achieve together, for the remainder of this school year!   


Warm regards, 

Josephine Tokhi

A message from the Principal

Dear Riverview Families,  


I am excited to start my third school year as a Barracuda! This is an exciting time to be working alongside each of you as we continue to grow and learn.  


As I begin the new school year as the Assistant Principal of Riverview, I continue to look forward to supporting each and every one of you. This will be my 20th year in education. I have served as a 3rd, 4th, and 7th-grade teacher, Instructional Coach, and Behavior Coach. This is my second year in the Dysart Unified School District.


I am originally from the East Coast. I was born in New York City and grew up in Northern Virginia. After graduating from the University of Arizona with a Bachelor’s in Elementary Education, I moved to Phoenix to pursue job opportunities. I then obtained my Master’s Degree in Educational Leadership and a Principal Certificate from Northern Arizona University. My husband and I have lived in West Valley for the past 17 years and enjoy spending time with our two daughters, attending sporting events, hiking, and swimming.  


I am looking forward to all the great things that will be happening at Riverview this school year!   


Sincerely,  

Sara Casey    

Assistant Principal
