September 29, 2020 Here are a few more RVUSD updates as we move through this week: School (Distance Learning) will be canceled for the remainder of this week. We will use this time to assess the health and safety of our staff and families. With so many families evacuated and trauma levels so high within our community, we must give time to repopulate and recover. This is a timeline that none of us can control. We will have an additional update to you by the end of this week, once we know more about the situation. This update will include a timeline/process for resuming Distance Learning. We will also have a cleaning timeline for our campuses so teachers and staff can return to campuses to work on site. If conditions allow, we will begin serving free meals to families starting on Friday, October 2nd. We will be serving meals from Village Elementary. Look for more information coming to you soon. Over the last couple of weeks we have sent home PSPS packets and/or learning plans. If you would like to jump into those packets/learning plans, please feel free to do so. However, there is no obligation or expectation at this point in time that this work be completed. Please let your principal know if there is any way we can support you or your family in these continued difficult times. -Dr. Tracy Smith Superintendent

Dear RVUSD Families, PG&E alerted us this morning that the district and many of our families will likely be impacted by a Planned Power Shutdown event scheduled over the next two days. We were informed that the following school sites will be de-energized for Tuesday and Wednesday during school hours: Austin Creek, Sequoia, RVCS- Sequoia, Whited, Binkley and Madrone. This power shutdown will impact our distance learning plans for the next two days. Please look for more information and details from your school principal and teachers over the course of this afternoon and evening. Regretfully Extended Care programs at those five sites will need to be closed for these two days. Home Study and Rincon Valley Partnerships can also expect communication from your coordinators around learning expectations for the next couple of days. For students who attend Spring Creek, Matanzas, RVCS- Matanzas and Village, you will also be getting information/details from your principals and teachers in regards to how this PSPS event might impact your child’s learning over the next two days. Although these schools will not be de-energized, learning could still be impacted by the power shutdown event happening elsewhere in our district.
