Superintendent Message

Greetings Rio Families and Community Members,

We are currently completing two thirds of the 2024/25 school year and are working collectively on achieving our goals of providing safe and high quality learning environments for all children so they can achieve learning to their greatest potential. I recently met with our superintendent’s roundtable, which is composed of 5-8 grade students from all our schools. These students were selected by their school principals and are a wonderful group. We do activities together and I also ask them to share a bit about what is going well this school year and what are their challenges.

It is great to experience such positive and thoughtful students who are able to express themselves about their school experiences and their general wellbeing. Together, parents and school staff have great capacity to guide children’s development. We look forward to finishing the school year strong and to meeting again with the children in the last trimester of the school year.
