Dear Rincon Valley Families,
We hope this message finds you well as the new school year is fast approaching. The Rincon Valley Union School District Superintendent, Amy Jones, has recently notified the District that she is needing to take a medical leave of absence. We understand that this news may raise concerns, but please know that Amy is receiving the necessary care and support.
During Amy's absence, the Board of Trustees has assigned Deputy Superintendent, Mike Herfurth, to serve in the role of Interim Superintendent. Mike brings a wealth of experience and dedication to this role, and we are confident in his ability to ensure continuity and stability within our District.
We are sending this email as we understand the importance of clear communication during times of transition, and we assure you that Mike will work closely with the administrative team to maintain the high standards of education and support that our students deserve.
We appreciate your understanding and support as we navigate this situation together. We wish Amy the best during her medical leave and we remain committed to keeping you informed about any updates and changes throughout the school year.
We are looking forward to the new school year, and the staff is excited to see the students on August 14th.

We have not yet received confirmation, but based on our testing Verizon has resolved the call routing issue for their customers. Calls to the District Office, Manzanita, and Village are now being correctly processed for Verizon customers.
Hi Rincon Valley Community,
The phone numbers for the District Office, Manzanita Elementary, and Village Elementary were migrated to a new provider this morning. All providers except Verizon have pulled the updated call routing information to route calls to our new provider. We expect Verizon to update shortly and are working with their support to speed up this process. Until this is resolved, calls from Verizon service to the District Office, Village Elementary, and Manzanita Elementary will not go through. Calls from other services or calls to other campuses are not affected at this time.
Dear RVUSD Community, There was a recent Sonoma Sheriff’s Department Facebook post regarding the arrest of a teacher’s aid at Village Charter School. This is not our campus, Village Elementary Charter on Yulupa ave., but is instead another school not affiliated with RVUSD, Village Charter School on Piner rd.
HI RVUSD Parents,
We had a great two days with Jamie Nunez of Common Sense media speaking to our 4th,5th,7th, and 8th graders about digital citizenship. Below are some of the pictures from these events. If you were not able to attend our parent event we have also included the recording below.

All phones are back up. A crossed connection at an AT&T network operations center caused the issue and was repaired.
Phone Issue Update: The phone company has an estimated time of repair of 10:30 am tomorrow(1/29/22). Thank you for your patience as we get this resolved.
Dear RVUSD Families,
We have confirmed with our phone provider that the issue is with their connection. They are aware of this issue's seriousness and are currently working on a solution. Outbound calls are working, and we can respond to emails over the phone.

Dear Rincon Valley Staff and Families,
We are definitely getting the rain that we needed. We are aware of the alerts that have gone out about areas of Santa Rosa that are experiencing flooding. We have had crews checking out our school sites and at this time are planning to have schools open tomorrow, Monday October 25th. We will continue to monitor the weather and conditions through the evening and will send out updates as needed.
Please stay safe and have a good evening.
