Dear Rincon Valley Union School District Families,
Due to a PG&E Public Safety Power Shutoff (PSPS) event, we will be closing all of the schools in our district, including the district office tomorrow, Wednesday, October 9th.
This means all after-school programs, such as athletics and aftercare, are also canceled.
PG&E expects to shut off electricity to these schools because of the increased risk of fires. PG&E uses PSPS when weather conditions such as high winds and low humidity create a high risk for fire. PG&E has informed us that it will not turn the power back on until those dry and windy weather conditions have passed and that it could take up to 48-hours to restore power once the weather improves.
This means that the schools will likely remain closed on Thursday, October 10 and potentially Friday, October 11. We will contact you as soon as more information from PG&E becomes available.
Thank you for your understanding.
Hello Binkley Families,
This evening at 7:00pm, PG&E and the Sonoma County Office of Education will be updating the list of areas/schools affected by power outages. We will let you know as soon as we can whether we will be open or closed tomorrow. Thank you for your patience!
Principal Kjaer

Check out these cool highlights of the week...
Hello RVUSD Families. We have been informed that PG&E will not be turning off power this evening. PG&E will consider a power shutdown again tomorrow evening (Tuesday). ALL RVUSD schools and programs should be open tomorrow Tuesday, September 24th! We will let you know right away if anything changes.
REMINDER: Students will be dismissed early, at 1:57, all this week and next, due to parent teacher conferences.
The district has just received a 24 hr. warning of a potential power shutdown (sent at 9pm on Sunday). From the limited information given, it seems that the affected schools would be Madrone, Binkley, Whited, Sequoia, RVCS- Sequoia and Austin Creek.
A few reminders:
If power goes out during the school day, students will remain on campus through the end of the day.
If power is out before school starts and is not expected to be restored promptly, schools will be closed.
What a heartwarming day of learning about acceptance and inclusion. Just Two Moms shared their stories and a beautiful book, Just Ask, with the students and teachers. They gave courageous students a safe platform to ask difficult questions and share their own stories about the challenges they face as students with Autism, ADHD, Diabetes, and Pachyonychia Congenita. Students are going into tomorrow encouraged to “Be The One” that others need them to be. 💛🤝💙
