• Dear Parents, Community, and Business Partners:

    Raul Yzaguirre Schools for Success is committed to the education of the children in our community. We feel Parent Engagement is an essential piece in ensuring that our students are successful in school and beyond. We believe that when parents are more involved in the academic process, school becomes more of a priority for their children. In addition, no school district can truly succeed without the support of its local community and business partners. RYSS must continue to initiate Strategic Partnerships and increase volunteer opportunities to community so that our scholars can be connected with college and/or career paths.

    Together, we will support our RYSS scholars!

    Sincerely,

    Blanca Nelly Saldaña 

    Family and Community Engagement Director
