Theme for the 2026-2027 School Year
Dear Rialto Adult School Students,
Welcome back to a brand-new school year at Rialto Adult School!
We are so excited to welcome both returning faces and new students to our campus community. Every new school year brings fresh opportunities to learn, grow, and take big steps toward your personal and professional goals.
Our theme for this school year is Persist. Education is a journey, and while balancing school with work, family, and daily life takes real effort, showing up and pushing forward is what creates lasting change. No matter what obstacles arise this year, remember why you started—and keep going. We are here to support you and help you start your journey or help you finish it!
Join Us for Our Hot BBQ Kick-Off! To launch the year together, remind you that you belong here, and celebrate your commitment to completing your courses, we are hosting a Hot BBQ Kick-Off for all RAS students and staff! Come enjoy some good food and great company:
Wednesday, August 12: 10:00 AM – 11:00 AM
Thursday, August 13: 10:00 AM – 11:00 AM and 5:00 PM – 6:00 PM
Important Reminder About Class Start Dates: Please be sure to check your email for specific information regarding your class schedule. While the school year is kicking off, some teachers will not be starting their classes during the very first week of school. Your email will contain the exact start date and details for each of your courses.
Please remember that my door is always open, and I check my emails regularly. Don’t hesitate to stop by, reach out, or give me a call anytime. You may contact me by email at rrorigu3@rialtousd.org or by calling the school office at (909) 879-6010 and asking to speak with me.
Remember our motto at RAS: "The Road to Success is Through Commitment."
We can't wait to see all that you accomplish this year. Welcome back, and let's make it an incredible year together!
¡Persiste! ¡Sigue adelante! ¡Sueña en grande!
Persist! Keep going! Dream big!
Respectfully,
Mrs. Ramona I. Rodriguez

Important Reminder: Check Your Email for Class Start Dates!
As we kick off the new school year, please be sure to check your email regularly for updates regarding your specific class schedule. Due to staffing and late teacher hiring, some courses will begin after the first week of school. Checking your inbox will ensure you have the correct start date, room assignment, and meeting times for each of your classes. Thank you for your patience as we finalize our schedules, and we look forward to seeing you soon!
