I began teaching at John and Olive Hinojosa Elementary in the year of 2005. I am currently emplyed at this same school and have had the privilege to work there for about 13 years.

 My name is Gina Marie Rios and currently I teach in 4th grade. I teach all ELAR, which means Reading, Spelling, Grammar and Writing. I have been employed almost 19 years with RGCCISD. I started off as a teacher-aide and then obtained my Bachelor’s in Education a couple of years after from the University of Texas Pan American. While teaching for a few years, I continued my education and received a masters in Reading at UTPA as well. I started my teaching profession here at John and Olive Hinojosa Elementary in 2nd Grade, where I taught all subjects. I then had the pleasure of working in Kindergarten for several years, where I enjoyed teaching the little ones very much. This year, in 4th Grade, I will have most of the same students I taught years ago in Kindergarten, but now they’re in 4^th grade.

Prior to teaching at John and Olive Hinojosa Elementary, I was employed by the same district at General Ricardo Sanchez Elementary as a teacher aide for two years. 

I do enjoy spending time with my child. We love watching Netflix with some popcorn and pickles. I also like to exercise and stay fit. Staying healthy is key!
