Rancho Roundup Week 26

A key resource in fostering a safe and supportive school climate at RBV is PSST World, an anonymous reporting tool that empowers students to report safety concerns confidentially. Fear of retaliation often prevents students from speaking up, but PSST World provides a secure way to report bullying, cyberbullying, abuse, threats, self-harm, weapons, or other issues affecting school safety—without revealing their identity.

Students only need to provide their name if they wish to be contacted. To submit a report, click here or on the PSST World icon above. Explore the videos and resources on this page to learn more. Thank you for helping keep RBV and VUSD a safe place to learn and grow!

Please feel free to browse through the videos shown to the right of this page for more information. Also, additional resources are also linked below that will help you create a PSST shortcut on your device.

Cell Phones

• As a school site we recognize the impact that cell phones have on students ability to focus in class. We want all our students to be able to achieve at their highest potential. For this reason, all classrooms will be cell phone free during instructional time, meaning phones must be put away and kept away.
• We hope that all students will be able to follow the classroom expectations.
• Students who do not comply with this school rule will engage in the following process with their Assistant Principal
• First Offense: Student's phone is sent to the office and retrieved at the end of the day.
• Second Offense: Student's phone sent to the office and the students parent or guardian must pick up the phone.
• Third Offense: Students phone is sent to the office and the students parent or guardian must pick up the phone.
• Further situations will result in additional disciplinary actions by school administration.

To protect our students, when picking them up early from school:

• Adults coming to pick up students MUST be on the emergency contact list. Please take this moment to update your emergency contacts on Aeries.

• A valid ID (Driver License, Passport, Military ID, or other federal forms) MUST be presented when picking up your child.

• Students will not be released to anyone not on the contact list or without a valid ID.

We are seeing an increase in students riding electric bikes to school. We have a new parking area for the bikes and students have been doing great with using our new procedures. We have a few resources to share regarding bike safety as well as a link to the required bike safety course students must attend to obtain a parking permit for their bikes.

Online safety course is being developed to support our students safety.
