Parent and Student Information

Updates

• School pictures, originally planned for October 6th-9th, have been postponed.  We will provide an update once a new date has been finalized.
• October 12^th is a school day.  In the original 2020-2021 SVUSD calendar, October 12^thwas designated as District Staff Development Day/Non-Student Day for Students.  
• The parking lot is open for student drop off every morning; however, in the afternoon we close our parking lot from 15 minutes prior to the ending of school until 15 minutes after the end of school.  This is to allow for safe egress of students and staff.  Vehicles arriving prior to the closure are to park in the parking spaces.  During the closure, please do not use the south exit at the end of campus.

Schedules

It has come to our attention that some students at home are using our distance learning schedule instead of the revised Hybrid Learning Schedule .  Although the schedules are very similar, the times are slightly different and students are joining Zooms 5 minutes after class has started.  If possible, please print the Hybrid schedule and have available while working from home. 

With parents and students inquiring about supplies, our teachers have created a suggested school supply list for your convenience. 

Suggested Materials List

• Chromebook/Laptop (Charged and with a power cable just in case)
• Headphones/Earbuds
• Spiral Notebook (college ruled, one-subject)
• 3 ringed notebooks
• Loose notebook paper (college ruled if possible)
• Pencils with eraser and extra lead (or a sharpener)

Guidance News

RSM is partnering with Western Youth Services (WYS) to provide all our students with social-emotional learning skills using the Zones of Regulation curriculum. Social-emotional learning is about helping students develop a range of skills they need for school and life. Research shows that social and emotional learning is fundamental to academic success.

We are excited at the opportunity to provide this support for our students, especially during these difficult times of distance/hybrid learning. 7th and 8th grade students will be receiving these lessons which will take place via Zoom through elective classes beginning the week of October 5th. Lessons will be conducted once a week for five weeks and each lesson is approximately 30 minutes long.

The purpose of these virtual lessons is to provide an engaging platform to help students strengthen important skills for learning. Students will gain the skills they need to become caring, confident, and capable learners and problem solvers. The lessons will focus on helping all students learn ways to identify and communicate their feelings, develop problem solving skills, and learn strategies to help them build success in school and life.

If you have any questions please contact the counseling office. (949) 459-8253

Incoming 7^th Grade Students who have received a phone call or email from RSM TDAP time is NOW!!!

The State of California requires all entering 7th grade students provide proof of T-dap immunization. If you did not turn in proof of immunization to your elementary school, you must provide it to the RSM office prior to registration. Remember, if you are not able to fit in a doctor visit this summer, local drug stores such as CVS and Walgreens can administer the immunization and the cost is covered by most insurance companies.
