Safety Updates - Upcoming Lockdown Drill – Wednesday, November 4th, 2026
On Wednesday, November 4th, at 11:25 a.m., Rancho Buena Vista High School will participate in a lockdown drill. Our Office will not be able to release students for appointments during this time. Please plan accordingly.
Students and staff will practice lockdown safety procedures. This drill is an important part of our ongoing efforts to ensure our school community is prepared in the event of an emergency.
This is a scheduled drill only, and no action is needed from families.
Thank you for your continued support in keeping our Longhorn community safe.
Thank you,

3. Bring the following documents to the RBV Finance Office, located in the school’s front office area:
Current vehicle registration
Completed RBV Parking Regulations and Permit Form
Valid California driver’s license

Once all required documents have been received and verified by the finance office, the student will be issued a parking tag. The tag must be displayed on the vehicle’s rearview mirror at all times while the vehicle is parked in the RBV student parking lot.
Thank you for helping us keep our student parking lot safe and organized!
