Today, the Governor of the State of California recommended school campus closures continue through the end of the 2019-2020 school year. Rio School District has decided to follow this recommendation and keep school campuses closed through the end of the 2019-2020 school year. We will continue to adapt to the coronavirus event and provide food services, connecting with students, engaging students and families to learn, and improving the learning over time.
After this week, we move into Spring Break for two weeks and will then resume what we call RIO COMMUNITY LEARNING which involves teachers and staff connecting and engaging students at their homes using computers, phones, and paper documents and supplies.
We look forward to joining Ventura County in staying home as much as possible so we can stem the spread of the coronavirus. All our citizens’ health and well being is the greatest priority. Continue to connect with the District online, by phone, and as needed as we work together – family – child – school to adapt to these new challenges.

Since 1885, the Rio School District has been the center of the community for all the families it has served. Today, our school district continues its tradition of caring for each student.
We work every day to build a world-class education for more than 5,000 students in our five elementary schools, two middle schools and two K-8 schools. We offer small classes, 1:1 Chromebooks, and research-based inquiry learning practices and instruction.
Within a creative culture of arts, music and technology, and through successful program innovations over eight years, Rio students are leading a renaissance on the Oxnard Plain.
Message from Superintendent John Puglisi
Greetings Parents, Students and Community Members,
The 2019-20 school year is now more than one half complete. Rio staff are fully engaged in serving our students, families, and community as we co-create “world class” learning opportunities for all our students.
This year we continue to develop our schools and classes so they guide students in becoming excellent communicators, collaborators, creative and critical thinkers and doers as well as caring citizens, community members, and learners. Our focus aims at developing 21st century practices built on a foundation of literacy.
Along these lines, we are doubling our efforts to assist all our students to develop literacy levels to meet the very high expectations of California standards. Our continued focus on guiding students to become interested and competent readers is at the core of these literacy efforts.
We look forward to engaging learners during the 2019-20 school year.
Superintendent John Puglisi, Ph.D.
