Thank you parents for attending!
Thank you for attending the first coffee with the principal! We had a great turnout. Parents received updates on our RMS priorities for this school year. We had a great conversation about the updated dress code and our behavior expectations. Parents learned about our progress with Artful Learning, and we share ways parents can get involved here at RMS. We look forward to seeing you at the next Coffee with the Principal

Partnering to Combat COVID-19 in Our Schools
Vista Unified will continue to follow the guidance from the SDCOE COVID-19 Decision Trees for K-12 Schools.
Individuals who test positive must isolate at home and may be released from isolation on day six, provided that symptoms are improving, they are fever-free for the past 24 hours without fever-reducing medication, and they have a negative test result from a rapid antigen test taken on or after day five.
If the individual is asymptomatic, day zero of isolation is the day the individual was tested. Day one is the first full day following the day the individual was tested.
If the individual is symptomatic, day zero of isolation is the day of symptom onset, regardless of when the individual tested positive. Day one is the first full day following the day that symptoms started.
Employees eligible for shortened isolation must continue to wear a highly protective mask at all times in the workplace around others, except when eating or drinking, for 10 days after the date of the positive test.
Students ending isolation early are strongly recommended to wear a highly protective mask when around others, except when eating or drinking, for 10 days after the date of the positive test.
PBIS Schoolwide Expectations
During our annual Pride Talks, we reviewed our schoolwide expectations for being successful, respectful, safe, and of service. Students also reviewed our personal electronic devices policy and our dress code. Please see the link below for the presentation.

We look forward to working in partnership with you as we work to provide a positive and safe campus for all students.
