Superintendent Message

Greetings Rio Families and Community Members,

With the start of the 2025/26 school year we are working collectively on achieving our goals of providing a safe and high quality learning environment for all children so they can achieve learning to their greatest potential. We look forward to implementing a few new things as we do each year in pursuit of greater effectiveness. Rio schools should be safe, clean, inviting, and places where children are encouraged to develop as a whole child as well as and especially as learners as we prepare them to succeed and continue to grow when they leave us after 8th grade.

We want to thank everyone for an excellent 2024/25 school year and invite everyone to be on the same path of growing this 2025/26 school year.

John Puglisi, Ph.D.
