School News and Updates - August 27th, 2020
Principal Message
Dear Sequoia Families,
We are almost two weeks in to distance learning already! I hope you are settling in to this new routine and things are feeling easier each day. I have talked to several teachers about how much of school included "other" types of learning. From learning classroom and school routines, playing cooperative games at recess and in the classroom, and so much more. We encourage you to build in some of those types of things at home, where possible. If there are classroom breaks for your child, encourage him or her to play games and move their body. These brain and body breaks are going to be critical with so much concentrated screen and learning time.
You may not know this but RVUSD is still providing lunches for our students. You can order meals online (your child's account will be charged, as appropriate) and you can pick up lunch at any RVUSD elementary school site between 11:30-1:30. Go to www.myschoolbucks.com and there will be an icon that says "free emergency meals" and you can start the online order process there.
Don't forget that we have rescheduled our Back to School Night for Kindergarten through 6th grades for Tuesday, September 1st. This will be a good chance for you to see the other parents in your child's class and hear from the teacher about what your child will be learning this year. Teacher presentations will be approximately 30-40 minutes with a 5 minute break in between primary and upper grade. Presentations will be recorded and sent to families who cannot attend. K-3rd zoom meetings will begin at 5:00pm and 4th-6th grade will begin at 5:45pm. (TK Back To School Night Presentation is still happening tonight at 5:00)
Enjoy the rest of your week and weekend!
Mrs. Clark
