Principal's Message
Last week was an awesome week of kindness! In fact, this week I'm still hearing from students, parents and staff how much fun kindness week was in the classroom and at home. Students focused on complimenting each other, helping classmates, recycling, picking up trash, playing with pets, eating healthy, playing games cooperatively, writing kind notes at our kindness stations, doing kind acts for other classrooms and more! We had a great week of kindness and I hope it continues all year long!
To start our week on Monday we had an assembly by OmegaMan! OmegaMan bent steel bars, ripped phone books in half and more. But his real message to students was about being a Dream Maker not a Dream Breaker. He spoke about how positive choices in life will turn students into Dream Makers for themselves and others. He focused on the idea that it's never to late to make a positive change and how students treat and value themselves and others makes a difference! This assembly was a great way to end kindness week in January and move into February with a powerful message that students can truly be Dream Makers!
Rincon Valley Union School District is taking part in a new and exciting opportunity for all our students. We are partnering with Sonoma County Library to offer students a Student One Card.
With a Sonoma County Library Student One Card, RVUSD students can ...
• Access electronic resources 24/7 via the SCL website.
• Receive FREE online one-on-one homework tutoring in English and Spanish
in all major subjects.
• Use public library computers at any of the 14 public library locations.
• Borrow up to 10 items from any Sonoma County Library location with no fines.
... and it’s all FREE!
Your student will automatically be enrolled in the Student One Card program in March 2019. If you would prefer your child NOT take part in this program, please fill out the OPT-OUT form going home this week and return it to your classroom teacher.
Don't forget we have an SPC meeting tonight at 6:30 in the library. Childcare is available. If you can't make it tonight, come tomorrow morning for an SPC meeting recap with coffee in the MPR.
