Quality Education Today for A Better Tomorrow

Dear El Rancho Unified Families,

Welcome back to the 2025/2026 school year! I hope you enjoyed a restful and joyful summer with your loved ones.

Over the summer, our schools have continued to see exciting improvements all aimed at providing the best possible experience for our students. From upgraded facilities to extensive professional development for our dedicated teachers, staff, and administrators, we are committed to ensuring that our classrooms are places where innovation, creativity, and learning thrive. Students will also continue to benefit from upgraded technology, including Chromebooks, to enhance their learning opportunities.

This year, our theme is “One Team, One Mission.” Guided by our district’s vision—“Inspiring Learners to Thrive in an Ever-Changing World”—and our mission—“We Create Opportunities for Growth and Success”—we are united in our commitment to empowering every student. Together, as one community, we will promote a culture where students are supported, challenged, and inspired to achieve their full potential.

I am confident that the 2025/2026 school year will be one of growth, success, and memorable achievements. Thank you for being an integral part of the El Rancho Unified School District family. With your partnership, we look forward to another incredible year ahead.

Sincerely,

Marco A. Villegas, Ph.D.
Superintendent
