Roosevelt Wildcat Weekly
February17th, 2022 Information for our Families
Dear Wildcat Families,
We are excited to announce that we are having our Beginning Band Concert on Wednesday, February 23rd. Our WIldcats have been working hard as they prepare for this performance and we can't wait to hear this Artful Learning performance in action!
Thursday we will begin our Behavior Expectation Assemblies with our 8th-grade class. We have seen great improvement in student behavior over the last two weeks. We do ask that you remind your students that horseplay is not allowed at school. We need to make sure all students are keeping their hands and feet to themselves.
Friday, February 25th, we are having our Career Fest. Students will participate in lessons focused on career-related topics (financial literacy, career exploration, resumes, interviewing skills, etc). We are also hosting guest speakers and lunchtime activities for students. Please encourage students to dress in business casual attire!
Thank you for your continued support of our RMS family.

Health and Safety Update
As a school community, we need your help to ensure that we can safely keep students in school and minimize the number of quarantines we might need. If there is a family that is waiting on the results of COVID tests, please keep your student home until the results come in. If your student is not feeling well, please don't send them to school.
We will include a Health and Safety Update in each RMS Wildcat Weekly and we will notify you in this update if there have been any positive cases on campus. This week, we had 5 positive case on campus. If you would like to check for a notification on a daily basis, please refer to the VUSD COVID-19 Case Dashboard. The Dashboard is updated by 7:00 pm daily.
A few other reminders about protocols:
Notify us immediately if your child or any member of your household becomes ill with COVID-19.
Please keep your child home from school if they have ANY of the symptoms listed on the decision tree guidelines (fever or chills, cough, shortness of breath or difficulty breathing, fatigue, muscle or body aches, headache, new loss of taste or smell, sore throat, congestion or runny nose, nausea or vomiting, diarrhea).
Have your child vaccinated. Remember, your child will not need to be quarantined if they come in close contact at school if they are fully vaccinated and asymptomatic. The vaccination will keep them in school and able to participate in all of the extracurricular activities like athletics, band, dance, ASB, etc.
If your child is quarantined, then they will receive support/connection with a VUSD Learning Support Teacher, via Zoom and email.
If your child is quarantined, they are to follow along in Canvas for their coursework.
If your child is fully vaccinated, they are NOT required to Quarantine at this time.

Independent Study Contracts Needed To Continue Learning During to Quarantine
The Vista Unified School District is committed to providing ongoing opportunities for students to continue their education and earn attendance credit while on quarantine. Currently, the state only allows districts to provide these opportunities through independent study, and parents/guardians must agree for their students to voluntarily participate. We need your help to sign a short-term independent study contract so that our schools can get the funding they need to maintain services for all students.
Currently, students on quarantine are marked with excused absences, but once parents/guardians approve for their student to participate in independent study during quarantine, the student will begin to generate positive attendance. Students enrolled in this short term independent study during periods of quarantine will have access to classroom content through Canvas, the district learning management system. Students can complete classroom assignments to stay current with the classroom learning and earn attendance credit. Keep in mind that when a student is marked absent, the school loses funding for that student for as long as they are absent.
Please, check your email from VUSD sent on September 24th for the personalized link. If you cannot find the email with the personalized link, please follow this link VUSD Independent Study Online Form to complete the form.

We continue to refine our communication systems to provide up to date information about teaching and learning, collaboration, family engagement, and college and career pathways.
