A Message From Your Principal
October 30, 2020
Dear Village Families,
Zoom Reminder
Please remember that there is no recording or posting of Zoom classes! This is to protect the privacy and confidentiality of all our students!
Parent Teacher Conferences
Four upcoming Wednesdays, November 18th, December 2nd, 9th, and 16th will be parent-teacher conferences. You may want to prepare for your conference by reflecting on your child’s strengths, areas of challenge, interests, and talents to share with the teacher. Conferences truly help teachers meet every student’s needs as they work in partnership with you and your student for successful growth during distance learning.
Distance Learning Report Cards
Rincon Valley has created a special report card, Report of Student Learning, for the 2020-21 school year. This document was created as a result of our current instruction in distance learning. Regardless of whether students will return to in-person instruction or stay in distance learning, we will use this same document for the entire school year to continue to provide consistent information to parents. You can find more information below.
Daylight Savings Time Ends
Don’t forget to set your clocks back an hour on Saturday night. Perfect weekend for an extra hour of rest!
No School Friday, November 6th
Next Friday, November 6th, marks the end of Trimester 1. Teachers at Village are carefully assessing students to ensure that you receive a comprehensive view of your child’s progress and attributes for success. To give teachers the time they need to provide this information to you, Friday, November 6 is a teacher work day, which means there is no school for students.
Character Trait of the Month--Resilience
October’s Character Trait of the Month has been “Resilience”. Throughout the month we emphasized attributes of resilience, how to foster resilience in ourselves, and the benefits of approaching challenges with resilience. It is very clear that here at Village we have a community of resilient staff, students, and families.
HALLOWEEN!
Have a wonderful Halloween!
Dates to Remember:
Sunday, November 1: Daylight Savings Time ends--set your clocks back one hour.
Thursday, November 5: End of Trimester 1

Come Play with Us!
Extended Care is offering a After School enrichment program for all RVUSD students! Students would be able to play and practice crucial social skills with their peers. We will host games and art activities every day. We also have access to our school gardens and play structures. Hopefully, parents will be able to enjoy some time to themselves and complete errands without their students!
Due to the small nature of this program, parents will have to register for 3 or more days per week. The price of care can be found at the following link:
After School Rate & Date Sheet
Students would be required to wear a mask, regularly wash their hands, and follow all of the same rules that we have in place for students attending distance learning. Please be aware that we will not provide educational support, which is only available for students in the District’s Distance Learning Program.
The registration form is linked below:
After School Registration Form
Please provide this letter to any RVUSD parent who might be interested. Get your student’s friends to sign up and it will be like a regular play date! We look forward to hosting your students. After completing the registration form, you will be contacted by our staff to finalize your registration and placement.
Sincerely,

¡Ven a jugar con nosotros!
Extended Care ofrece un programa de enriquecimiento después de la escuela para todos los estudiantes de RVUSD! Los estudiantes podrán jugar y practicar habilidades sociales cruciales con sus compañeros. Organizaremos juegos y actividades artísticas todos los días. También tenemos acceso a los jardines de la escuela y a las estructuras de juego.
¡Esperemos que los padres puedan disfrutar de un tiempo para sí mismos y llevar a cabo pendientes sin sus estudiantes!
Debido a la naturaleza pequeña de este programa, los padres tendrán que registrarse por 3 o más días a la semana. El precio de la atención se puede encontrar en el siguiente enlace:
Hoja de Tarifas y Fechas para Después de la Escuela
Los estudiantes tendrían que usar una máscara, lavarse las manos regularmente y seguir las mismas reglas que tenemos para los estudiantes que asisten a la educación a distancia. Por favor, tenga en cuenta que no proporcionaremos apoyo educativo, el cual sólo está disponible para los estudiantes del Programa de Aprendizaje a Distancia del Distrito.
El formulario de inscripción está enlazado abajo:
Formulario de registro para después de la escuela
Por favor, entregue esta carta a cualquier padre de RVUSD que pueda estar interesado. Consiga que los amigos de su estudiante se inscriban y será como una cita de juego regular! Esperamos recibir a sus estudiantes. Después de completar el formulario de inscripción, nuestro personal se pondrá en contacto con ustedes para finalizar su registro y colocación.
Sinceramente,
Seth Weinberg

Looking to connect with other Village families?
Click here to join the new Village Parents Club Slack Group
The Slack group is free, private, and easy to access from a phone or computer. It works a lot like a closed Facebook group, but it doesn't require a Facebook account and the conversations are really easy to search and organize.
In the Slack group you can connect with parents who have kids in the same grade, share ideas and support with other Village families, and feel less alone in this weird and wild time we are all parenting through.
Feel free to contact parentsclub@villageparents.org if you have questions or need help getting setup on Slack.
Please find the district student calendar below
