On March 16, 2020, the Ross Valley School District was closed on orders from the Marin County Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) due to COVID-19. Originally schools were told the closure would last for approximately two weeks, but ultimately the closure was extended through the end of the 2019-20 school year, and instruction to all RVSD students was provided through Distance Learning (DL). Due to the ongoing pandemic, the 2020-21 school year began in distance learning (Virtual Learning Academy). Staff have prioritized the health and safety of all students, staff, and families in developing health and safety protocols and procedures as well as a phased in approach to a return to on-site instruction. All plans are in accordance with county, state, and federal guidelines.
Staff has provided and will continue to provide the Board of Trustees and the public with regular updates. Linked below are recordings from Board meeting presentations on the reopening of our schools.
