RVUSD Parent Update

Health and Safety Protocols Update
It is important that families continue to check their students for symptoms before sending them to school.
New local health order: Outdoor masks are strongly encouraged at schools. While most of our students are wearing masks outdoors, we will be encouraging it more. Teachers will also be taking their students outside for socially distanced mask breaks throughout the day.
What is modified quarantine? Students who are considered in close contact with someone who has tested positive but do not develop symptoms may continue to attend school as long as they test twice a week (and test negative) during the 10 day quarantine period that begins the day of potential exposure. To prevent putting entire classrooms of students into quarantine, we are able to provide on site rapid testing of students so that those who test negative may remain in school in person.
Testing permission:
We will be asking for parents to give us permission to test their students when necessary on the school site. This would be helpful for modified quarantines and also for when a child has symptoms and a rapid test could give parents and staff useful information before the child goes home. As a parent, you would be notified ahead of time when any testing occurs, but would not need to get permission each time. This consent process will help facilitate our procedures immensely.
Look for this consent form coming your way today.
ParentSquare
We use ParentSquare for school communication, primarily with email, text and app notifications. ParentSquare automatically generates an account for each parent, using their preferred email address and phone number originating in the student information system. For email or cell phone number changes, please contact your student's school.
We are still working out the Parent Square set up for Spring Lake Middle School. Thank you for your patience.
Here’s what you can do with ParentSquare:
● Receive messages from the school via email, text or app notification
● Choose to receive information as it comes, or all at once at 6pm daily
● Communicate in your preferred language
● Direct message teachers, and staff
