of your interest to join.

3. English Language Advisory Committee (ELAC).

The ELAC is a committee for parents or other community members who want to advocate for English Learners. The purpose of ELAC is to advise the principal and school staff on programs and services for English learners and the School Site Council (SSC) on the development of the Single School Plan for Student Achievement. We are looking parents to be apart of this committee. It meets 4 times a year for an hour. Our first meeting is Sept. 30th at 11:30-12:30. Please email me at skearney@rvusd.org if you are interested.

Texting /Email Teachers:

Please be mindful of number of texts and emails you send your child's teachers. The best teacher is one who is rested and rejuvenated from time away from school business. They care deeply for your child and often give more at their own expense. Teachers have 24 hours to respond to you. Thank you.

Attendance: Call the Office to Avoid an Unexcused Absence

If you know that your child will be absent from class, please call the office 545-1771 and inform our office manager, Mrs. Hall or our clerk, Mrs. Ausiello. Sending a message to the teacher is kind, but does not replace calling the office to report the absence, tardy, or early out. We are keeping track of daily attendance, so it is very important that you communicate with us so that your child is not marked with an unexcused absence.

Having Technical Difficulties?

If you are unable to log-on to due to technical difficulties, please call the office the day of to avoid truancy. Then call our IT hotline at 707 542-7375 EXT:1005 between 8:00 and 10:00 for support.
