What is A-G?

A-G is a set of specific high school courses that students must complete to be eligible for admission to California public universities, such as the University of California (UC) and California State University (CSU).

These tools help students:

• Stay on track for high school graduation

• Explore college and career pathways

• Keep their options open for a variety of opportunities after high school

By thinking about the big picture, students can set goals and make informed choices throughout their high school journey.

Congratulations to 9th grade students, Dylan and Jordyn,

for being our April AVID Student of the Month!

1. YEARBOOK: The 2025 yearbook will be here before you know it, and sales are picking up. Make sure to order yours before they sell out. Books are $100, payable in the finance office or at yearbookforever.com. Please make sure you have not already purchased a yearbook for your student; refunds will not be given for duplicate orders.

2. ANGEL BOOKS: Each year we request help from our school community to get yearbooks into the hands of deserving seniors for whom the book is cost prohibitive. Our publisher calls these "Angel Books." There are several ways to contribute to this program:

   
   

   1. Visit the finance office and make a donation to the yearbook account. Make sure you tell them the donation should go toward an Angel Book.
   2. Visit yearbookforever.com and scroll down to "Donate a Yearbook." You have the option of donating a full book or making a custom donation. Any amount helps!

   
   

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.

Update: We have finished 3 weeks of testing of English Language Arts and Mathematics. Next week students will participate in the Science test along with working on make up test for students who did not complete the test during the regular testing session.

We appreciate all the support from parents and teachers to complete this important measure for our school. Please continue to encourage your 11th grader to come to school each day, well rested, ready to put forth their best effort on the exams.

Testing starts next week and we need your help. Please sign up to be a proctor for AP and IB tests and share the signup with friends and family. All materials and instructions provided. All volunteers 19 and older and English speaking are appreciated.

• 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.
