Dear Rincon Valley Union School District Families,
Due to a PG&E Public Safety Power Shutoff (PSPS) event, we will be closing all of the schools in our district, including the district office tomorrow, Wednesday, October 9th.
This means all after-school programs, such as athletics and aftercare, are also canceled.
PG&E expects to shut off electricity to these schools because of the increased risk of fires. PG&E uses PSPS when weather conditions such as high winds and low humidity create a high risk for fire. PG&E has informed us that it will not turn the power back on until those dry and windy weather conditions have passed and that it could take up to 48-hours to restore power once the weather improves.
This means that the schools will likely remain closed on Thursday, October 10 and potentially Friday, October 11. We will contact you as soon as more information from PG&E becomes available.
Thank you for your understanding.
Dear Austin Creek Families,
I know many of you are waiting to hear about school closures. Austin Creek will be closed tomorrow. I will send out a detailed message once I have more information.
Our app had crashing problems for users who updated to iOS 13. An update came out yesterday. Affected users should update their app. Please let us know of any continuing issues.

Dear Parents,
At this time we are on-stand-by for a power shut off. I will share any PG&E updates as soon as they become available.
Best,
Jenny
The district has just received a 24 hr. warning of a potential power shutdown (sent at 9pm on Sunday). From the limited information given, it seems that the affected schools would be Madrone, Binkley, Whited, Sequoia, RVCS- Sequoia and Austin Creek.
A few reminders:
If power goes out during the school day, students will remain on campus through the end of the day.
If power is out before school starts and is not expected to be restored promptly, schools will be closed.
Parents and Visitors to our school,
If you need to use the restroom, please use the adult bathroom located in the school office. The other bathrooms are for student use only.
