Face Mask Compliance
Please remind ALL staff that they are required to wear face masks, covering their nose and mouth, and secured under the chin, unless they have gone through an interactive process after supplying a medical exemption from their doctor. Face shields with drapes are not allowed without having specific permission for an individual with a medical exemption. Please refer to CDPH guidelines, RCSD Welcome Back to School letter, and RCSD Health and Safety guidelines for further clarification.

LineWize and SysCloud
Principals and Assistant Principals should be receiving notifications from both LineWize and SysCloud. These two systems are used to monitor the internet activity of our students. LineWise monitors student internet searches and SysCloud monitors the students’ activities within the Google environment (email, Google docs, etc.). If you receive either of these notifications please follow up with the students to ensure they are being safe.

Updated Music Guidance
In the updated CDPH Guidance, students are allowed to sing inside with a mask. Please see the document below for updated guidance for music and band.
