Dear RVUSD community, We are pleased to announce that the Power Shutoffs for most of our neighborhoods and all of our schools have been canceled. We will have Distance Learning per usual this week. Do not worry about those PSPS packets for now! Thank you!

Dear RVUSD Families, The PG&E Public Safety Power Shutoff (PSPS) from Sunday, October 25 through Tuesday, October 27 will now affect more of our schools and neighborhoods than previously announced. We are expecting the event to alter school learning on Monday and Tuesday only. This shutoff event is now expected to affect Austin Creek, Sequoia, Madrone, Binkley, Whited and RVCS-Sequoia schools. Therefore, if the power shuts off, all students from all school sites will do their learning from their recently distributed PSPS packets. There will be no live instruction on Monday and Tuesday. We will be sending out more information soon regarding when PSPS packets will be collected and also what families can expect instruction to look like on Wednesday. Extended Care: Students in Austin Creek and Sequoia Extended Care programs will report to Spring Creek on Monday and Tuesday. Binkley, Whited and Madrone Extended care students will be housed at Village on Monday and Tuesday. We thank our staff for quickly adjusting plans and spaces to make this possible. We thank all of you for your continued understanding and support. We know that we must continue to keep safety as our number one priority.

Hello Binkley Families, The PSPS event projected by PG&E to occur Oct. 25 - Oct. 28, is not expected to impact the Binkley site. However, we realize that we do have individual families that may lose power at their homes and this may impact student access to instruction for these days.  If you have been notified by PG&E that the shutoff will affect your residence, please reach out to your child's teacher as soon as you can to determine a plan.  Enjoy a beautiful weekend! Hilary Kjaer

Dear RVUSD Families, PG&E has notified us that it is preparing for a Public Safety Power Shutoff (PSPS) from Sunday, October 25 at 4:00pm, through Wednesday, October 28, at 12:00pm. This shutoff event is expected to affect Austin Creek, Sequoia and RVCS-Sequoia schools. If the power shuts off, all students from these school sites will do their learning from their recently distributed PSPS packets. There will be no live instruction on these days. The Extended Care programs from Austin Creek and Sequoia will remain open and occur at the Spring Creek campus. All other school sites in Rincon Valley will be open to regular distance learning instruction during this time period. We thank you for your understanding and support.
