Dear Students and Families,

Happy Sunday!

ALL WEEK: College and Career Kickoff Week

This week we'll be having our College & Career Kickoff Week here at RVHS! Students will be doing some career exploration and we'll also be hearing from some guest speakers! The Youth Employment Opportunity Program from Riverside will be on campus presenting information focused on career readiness, employment preparation, interview tips, and strategies for success in the workplace. This will be a great opportunity for students to learn practical skills they can use immediately!

TUESDAY: Coffee with the Principals

We will be hosting "Coffee with the Principals" this coming Tuesday, October 20th. It is open to any adults/guardians/parents from SNMS, SNHS, and RVHS. We're offering two times on Tuesday for you to meet with us...one in the morning and one in the evening (depending on what best suits your availability).

Coffee with the Principals

Tuesday, October 20th

OR

There will be NO hour-long lecture at these "Coffee with the Principals". This is basically just a meet and greet, and you can stay for as long (or as little) as you would like. Mr. Cole (our Assistant Principal) and I will have a couple of things we want to talk about, and then we'll open it up for conversation! It should be fun!

Ms. Hicks is making sure that students feel comfortable coming to school, and staying here once they arrive. Our new social worker, Ms. Hicks, reaches out to students who need extra support. She has created a very inviting space for students in our Wellness Center! If you'd like to reach her, her email is vhicks@tvusd.us

We are excited to host our annual School Fall Festival, a completely FREE event for all of our students and their families and friends! This special evening is made possible through the generosity and support of our wonderful school community. We are asking parents, families, and local community members to consider donating items or gift cards that we can use for our raffle prizes. If you work for a company or local business that offers gift cards, products, services, experiences, or other items that could be donated as a raffle prize, we would love for you to reach out to your employer and see if they would be willing to contribute. In addition to our raffles, students and families will enjoy pizza, carnival games, a video gaming truck, music, and lots of fun activities for everyone to enjoy. Every donation, big or small, helps us create a memorable night for our students and ensures that this event remains free for all. Thank you for helping us bring our school community together and make this year’s Fall Festival a huge success!

Every year we ask our TVUSD families to complete a brief survey. The survey assists the Governing Board and District/Site Leaders as we strive to continue to provide high quality, rigorous learning experiences, which meet the needs of all our learners, and prepare students for college and career readiness.

Students and Parents,

If you haven’t done so already, please complete the Panorama Survey. It is very important and the feedback acquired from this survey helps us evaluate our progress and work on areas of improvement. Click on the link that applies to you.

Rancho Vista and Susan Nelson are excited to announce the SOAR Foundation.

The foundation is run by volunteers connected to our school and is dedicated to uplifting students that attend RVHS and SNHS by funding school events, supporting basic student needs, assisting with senior activities and costs, providing access to sports and more.

Families, friends, and community members can easily contribute via our PayPal donation link to help fuel student success. With your generosity, we can keep inspiring growth ensuring every student feels seen and celebrated. Please click here to donate:

Please call the school if your student is going to be absent (or late) to school. You can call the number below to report an absence at any time (just leave a message if it's after hours).

If your student has been absent YOU DO NEED TO CALL the school...otherwise the absence can turn into a truancy...and nobody wants that!

To report an absence or "clear" an absence call or email.

Students may NOT order food to be delivered to school through Grub Hub, Door Dash, Uber Eats or any food delivery. If a parent brings food in, it can only be for their student and it must be left with the front office and the student may pick it up during lunch time only.

Just so you know, all students riding either an eBike or eScooter or skateboard to school must go through a safety training and registration process. This process also includes ALL BICYCLES...regardless of whether they're powered by a BATTERY or NOT!

There will be a short 40-minute online course to take, and then your eBike or eScooter or skateboard will be registered with TVUSD by use of a “registration sticker” provided at the school.

The overarching goal here is to help students develop safe riding/biking skills so they can get to school as safely as possible!

Please click the link below to begin your training course IF YOU WILL BE RIDING an eBike or eScooter or skateboard to school this year!

e-Bike/Skateboard/e-Scooter Training Course

We'll be highlighting different community service opportunities. Students can also see additional service opportunities that are listed at the counseling clerk's desk! Check them out and get those 40 hours done!

I've noticed that for some readers unless this newsletter is opened as a webpage some of the links don't work! Here's a link to the "Community Service" log!

We understand that unexpected challenges, such as job loss or other financial hardships, can create food insecurities for families, especially during this time.

If your household is in need of food assistance, we encourage you to use the link immediately below to request support from our local food pantry, Mission Hope.

Through this partnership, we can discreetly send a backpack filled with non-perishable food items home with your student.

Please know that all information submitted to Mission Hope remains confidential and will not be shared with the school or anyone outside of Mission Hope. We will only receive notification of which student needs a backpack. Our goal is to support our students and families in any way we can.

Entendemos que hay situaciones inesperados, como la pérdida del empleo y otras dificultades financieras, pueden crear inseguridad alimentaria para las familias; especialmente durante este tiempo.
