Hello Binkley Families,
This evening at 7:00pm, PG&E and the Sonoma County Office of Education will be updating the list of areas/schools affected by power outages. We will let you know as soon as we can whether we will be open or closed tomorrow. Thank you for your patience!
Principal Kjaer
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.

Check out these cool highlights of the week...
Hello RVUSD Families. We have been informed that PG&E will not be turning off power this evening. PG&E will consider a power shutdown again tomorrow evening (Tuesday). ALL RVUSD schools and programs should be open tomorrow Tuesday, September 24th! We will let you know right away if anything changes.
REMINDER: Students will be dismissed early, at 1:57, all this week and next, due to parent teacher conferences.
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.
What a heartwarming day of learning about acceptance and inclusion. Just Two Moms shared their stories and a beautiful book, Just Ask, with the students and teachers. They gave courageous students a safe platform to ask difficult questions and share their own stories about the challenges they face as students with Autism, ADHD, Diabetes, and Pachyonychia Congenita. Students are going into tomorrow encouraged to “Be The One” that others need them to be. 💛🤝💙
English Learner Advisory Council (ELAC) meeting tomorrow morning from 8:15 - 9:00 a.m. in the school office conference room. Please join in the conversation on how to best support English learners at Binkley. Spanish translation will be available. We want your voices heard!
We’ve officially started our Read-A-Thon!🎉 Packets were sent home with your child’s login code on Friday, and you can sign them up to participate online. Set a reading goal and be sure to log their minutes! 📖 📚
