From the Principal

Welcome to the 2011-2012 school year!   The beginning of a new school year always brings with it exciting changes, new faces, and adjustments to our programs to provide the greatest school experience possible for our students and their families. This school year is no different, as we implement improvements to our instructional program and adjust our personnel to best meet the needs of our students.
 
We will continue to foster the positive academic and social growth our students have achieved thus far. As parents/guardians and educators, we must work together. Communication between home and school is vital.  Letting us know your priorities for your child's education is critical to his or her success.  We will do our very best to provide an instructional program that meets your child's educational needs, and in turn, we ask for your support in this pursuit.    Let's continue to work together to maintain the team effort that has made Curtis the best school in Rialto and such a special place to learn and grow.
