Dr. Cuauhtémoc Avila, RUSD Superintendent

Dear Rialto Unified School District Families:

It is with much excitement that I welcome you back in person for the 2021-2022 school year. Yes, we are back!

On August 9, 2021, we began the school year filled with joy and enthusiasm and ready for in-person instruction. I feel blessed knowing that we have an authentic spirit of community, with core beliefs that acknowledge our individual genius and worth as caring human beings. Accordingly, our District is offering an alternative to in-person instruction, Independent Study, so that the academic needs of students are met and their desire for a specific learning environment is honored. On the school district and your child’s school website, you may view the District’s latest comprehensive Reopening Plan. Please note that revisions to the Reopening Plan will be made to comply with guidelines required by State and County’s Department of Public Health. 

Our mission is to ensure each student experiences personal and career fulfillment — a commitment that can only be accomplished in a safe learning environment. WE are equally committed to providing our RUSD families our personal excellence, as together we will build momentum towards providing students a quality education and social- emotional supports they need to thrive.

Our collective interest in having a healthy and vibrant community begins with making decisions in the best interest of students. I encourage each of you to stay focused on the needs of your respective children and be optimistic about us overcoming these trying times the COVID-19 Pandemic has brought into our lives. Children deserve our best, all day, every day.

Welcome back!

Respectfully,
Cuauhtémoc Avila, E.D.,
Rialto Unified School District Superintendent
