On Thursday, October 3rd, your student will have the opportunity to meet and listen to bestselling author Robin Benway, here to talk about her new novel, The Girls of Skylark Lane. This heartwarming story about about twin sisters and their friends, and adventures around a softball team, brings to mind the Babysitters Club - great kids, great coming-of-age story.

If your child is interested in getting this exciting and thoughtful book, click on the picture and use the Tickets tab to select the book! (Your child doesn't need an actual ticket to attend - we just use this as a way to represent the book so you can purchase it!) We will bring the books to your school, and at the end of her event, Robin will be happy to autograph your student's book.

In order for us to process online sales and get books organized to bring out to your school, online sales will be turned off on Thursday, 10/2 at 4 pm! Don't delay!

Rincon Valley Unified School District Partners with ATTEND

to Improve Learner Attendance

School attendance is the key to a child’s social and emotional development.

Consistent school attendance improves outcomes for children. RVUSD is partnering with ATTEND, a technology tool, to increase our engagement with families about attendance.

What is ATTEND?

With ATTEND, we will be able to more effectively and efficiently notify families of learner absences and get inventions in place more quickly.

Key features of ATTEND include:

• Automated, customizable attendance intervention letters

• Multilingual communication capabilities to ensure inclusive outreach

• Positive reinforcement tools to celebrate learner attendance successes

• Comprehensive attendance dashboards for data-driven decision-making at the school sites

When will this start?

Effective October 1, 2024 Rincon Valley USD will begin utilizing ATTEND’s innovative platform to automate attendance interventions and strengthen communication with families.
