About Rio Lindo

The Rio Lindo Rockets have launched a successful academic program since opening in 1964, maintaining strong STAR test scores and achieving recognition as a California Distinguished School in 1986. Our students enjoy the benefits of a strong PTA and many parent and community volunteers that encourage the school’s wide variety of programs. In addition to a strong academic program that includes events throughout the year, we offer numerous extracurricular activities including athletics, visual and performing arts, a science fair, a jog-a-thon, intervention courses and Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Oxnard and Port Hueneme activities.

Parent Involvement at Rio Lindo

We would like to welcome all new and returning parents and students for the new school year. We hope you will join us as we work together with our teachers and staff to support the growth and development of students here on campus. We encourage you to participate in the Parent Teacher Association (PTA), School Site Council (SSC), English Language Acquisition Committee (ELAC), and other site committees and projects. Please contact the school office for additional information. Meeting dates will be posted on the monthly newsletter/calendar. All parents are welcome to attend. By working together, we can help provide our students with a quality education and a positive and safe environment.

Principal's Message

It is with great pleasure and excitement that I extend a warm welcome to each and every one of you as we embark on an exciting journey into the new school year at Rio Lindo Elementary. As the new principal of our wonderful PK-5 school site, I am thrilled to join such a vibrant community of students, families, and staff.

I am particularly excited to introduce our newest addition to the school -a new set of restrooms for our students, including a restroom to accommodate and support our SDC students. This marks a significant milestone for our school as we continue to build an inclusive environment that supports all students. We are committed to providing an enriching and supportive environment where every student can thrive academically, socially, and emotionally. At Rio Lindo Elementary, we believe in fostering a culture of inclusivity, respect, and excellence. Our dedicated team of educators is passionate about inspiring a love for learning and empowering students to reach their full potential. Together, we will work collaboratively to ensure that each child receives a high-quality education that prepares them for success in school and beyond.

As we embark on this new chapter together, I encourage you to actively engage in your child's education and become involved members of our school community. Whether it's volunteering, attending school events, or participating in parent-teacher conferences, your support and involvement are invaluable in creating a positive and nurturing learning environment for our students. I look forward to getting to know each of you and working together to make this school year a memorable and fulfilling experience for everyone. Please do not hesitate to reach out if you have any questions, concerns, or ideas you would like to share.
