Castle Rock Communiqué
Welcome Back Knights!
Can you believe it? It's July!
Welcome to the 2020-2021 school year at Castle Rock! We sincerely hope your summer has allowed some time for relaxation and fun with your Knights; we are excited to welcome students back in a short time for another wonderful year of learning and discovery. We believe that all students can learn at the highest levels, and we look forward to partnering with you this year to achieve our vision.
Though the spring and summer months brought with them much uncertainty, we have been hard at work to devise a plan to bring our students back in the most effective and safe way possible, following all guidelines from the Los Angeles County Department of Education and the Department of Public Health. Please read this letter carefully so that you understand the necessary precautions we are taking to ensure the safety and wellness of everyone at Castle Rock.
By now you have most likely read the email from our superintendent, Dr. Taylor, dated July 15. In it, he outlined our plans to begin the year with distance learning, and explained some notable differences between the emergency distance learning employed this past spring and our new, 2020/2021 Distance Learning model. For your convenience, a copy of this learning plan is attached to this letter. Please note that on Monday, July 20, at 3:00 the district will host a Webinar to explain the model as well as answer your questions. Please mark your calendars to attend at this link: https://wvusd.webex.com/wvusd/onstage/g.php?MTID=e0db67b457865cc44d563ab6295170a6a
Our goal is to bring students back to campus as soon as it is safe to do so. However, some families may wish to remain 100% independent study/distance learning for the year. If this applies to your family, please confirm your commitment to this model no later than Wednesday, July 22 at this link: https://forms.gle/ih83PJVKJaVfZGDm9 You may, of course, wish to view the Webinar before making your decision.
Please re-register your child at Castle Rock now, regardless of which option you are selecting for this coming August. As in past years, we will again complete re-registration paperwork digitally using our district’s Parent Portal feature. All new and returning students must complete this process before school begins. You may wish to view a “how to” video located at https://bit.ly/2CexkQH:
- Go to https://parents.wvusd.k12.ca.us/aeries.net/ Login with the email you received this letter from. Click the yellow bar at the top of your screen. If you have forgotten your password, click “forgot password” and follow the prompts on the screen.
- Review each step and make any necessary changes. Please ensure we have an active email address for you, as postal mailings will again be limited this year.
- If you need assistance, please do not hesitate to contact us or the technology department at the district office.
- As an added bonus, teacher assignments will be available in your child’s Parent Portal account. You will be notified again by me when this assignment is available. Please note that for student privacy reasons as well as health and safety guidelines, hard copies of classroom assignments WILL NOT be posted on our office windows this year. Also, once assignments are complete, your child’s teacher will contact you directly with information about how to join their classroom Zoom/Google Meet on the first day of school.
Thank you for your commitment to the success of your child and our school. It is only when we work together that students may reach their highest levels of achievement and development; your involvement as a parent is so critical to their success. Please remember to visit our Community Club website (www.crccdb.org) for additional opportunities to become involved.
Also, please remember to check our website (www.castlerockknights.org) for updates, as well as Twitter, and Facebook (@CastleRockIB) for a glimpse into our activities and events. Many parents inquire about recommended supply lists for the school year; please understand that these supplies are recommended for your child’s success, but never required.

Please enjoy this last bit of summer with your Knight! We look forward to welcoming our students back online on Monday, August 10. Please note that this is a modified day with online instruction ending at 11:40 for TK and Kindergarten, and 12:00 for grades 1 through 5. Please keep an eye on your email for upcoming correspondence about virtual Back to School events.Best wishes and stay well!

敬愛的Castle Rock家庭們,
歡迎Castle Rock的2019-2020學年!我們真誠地希望您與您的孩子有過一個放鬆又有樂趣的暑假。很快地, 我們就要歡迎學生們回來開始學習和探究的新學年。相信在我們最高水平的要求下, 所有學生都可以學習,我們期待今年與您合作以實現我們的願景。
儘管春季和夏季學生們都經歷了環境的不穩定性,但我們一直在努力製定計劃,並按照洛杉磯縣教育和公共健康部門的所有指導方針,以最有效,最安全的方式讓學生回校。 請仔細閱讀此信,以了解我們為確保Castle Rock所有人的安全和健康所採取的必要預防措施。
您很可能已經閱讀了我們的學區總監 Dr. Taylor博士7月15日發出的電子郵件。其中,他概述了我們今學年一開始就進行遠程學習的計劃,並解釋此計劃與今年春季的緊急遠程學習之間的一些顯著差異,以及我們2020/2021新學年遠程學習的模式。 為方便您的閲讀,我將其附件在此信。 請注意,7月20日星期一,學區將舉辦網絡研討會,以解釋不同的學習模式並回答您的問題。 請記得將日期和時間標記在日曆上, 請點擊此鏈接:
https://wvusd.webex.com/wvusd/onstage/g.php?MTID=e0db67b457865cc44d563ab6295170a6a
我們的目標是在安全的情況下盡快將學生帶回校内學習。 但是,有些家庭可能希望在這一年中保持100%的獨立學習/遠程學習。 如果這適用於您的家人,請在7月22日星期三之前通過以下鏈接確認您對這種模式的承諾:https://forms.gle/ih83PJVKJaVfZGDm9 。當然,您可能希望在做出決定之前先參與網絡研討會。
無論您為即將到來的八月選擇哪種學習模式,請現在立即在Castle Rock完成重新註冊手續。一如往年,我們將再次使用學區的家長門戶功能以數位方式完成重新註冊的文件。在學校開學之前, 所有新生和舊生都必須完成此手續。為此請:
1. 使用您收到此信的電子郵件登入 https://parents.wvusd.k12.ca.us/aeries.net/ 點擊屏幕頂部的黃色欄。以完成此過程。 如果您忘記密碼,請点擊“忘記密碼”並按照屏幕上的提示進行操作。
2. 檢閱每個步驟並做必要的更改。請確保學校的電子郵址是有效的,因為今年會再次限制郵政信箱地址的使用。
3. 如果您需要幫助,請立即與我們或學區辦公室的技術部門聯繫。 您還可以觀看以下的“操作方法”視頻 https://bit.ly/2CexkQH
4. 我們特別提供將老師名單公佈在家長門戶網站上, 名單出來後我會再通知您。
請注意,出於對學生隱私和健康與安全準則的考慮,今年拷貝單不會張貼在我們辦公室的窗戶上。另外,老師名單完成後,您孩子的老師會直接與您聯繫,提供有關如何在開學第一天加入他們的課堂Zoom / Google Meet的信息。
感謝您為孩子和我們學校的成功所作的承諾。 只有我們共同努力,學生才能達到最高的成就和發展水平。 您的參與對他們的成功至關重要。 請記住到我們的社區俱樂部網站(www.crccdb.org),查詢更多參與的機會。
請記得查閱我們的網站(www.castlerockknights.org) , 以及Twitter, Facebook(@CastleRockIB), 和 Instagram (@CastleRockIB) 以獲取學校更新的資訊,活動和重要事件。 許多家長詢問有關學校必須用品的建議清單 ; 請理解這些用品的提供是有助於孩子的成功,但絕不是學校的要求。請參閱此網站:
再享受這個快結束的暑假,我們期待在8月10日星期一歡迎所有學生回來網上開始上課。請注意,第一天是半天課, TK和幼稚園網上課程在11:40結束,一到五年級在12:00結束。請密切注意您的電子郵件,以了解有關虛擬返校活動的訊息。
平安健康!
