Club Rush
Club rush started this week, and will have another day for club recruitment on Wednesday, 9/22, when students can set up tables in the Cafeteria at lunch to advertise their clubs.
In March 2021, the federal American Rescue Plan (ARP) was signed into law. This plan dedicated $122 billion to the Elementary and Secondary School Education Relief (ESSER) Fund. This grant is known as ESSER III. The purpose of ESSER III is to address the impact of the coronavirus pandemic on students by combating unfinished learning, supporting social, emotional, and mental health needs, and ensuring a safe return to the school environment for students.
RBUSD will receive funding through the American Rescue Plan (ARP) Act (ESSER III). We invite parents, students, and community members to provide input as to what they would like to see as the priorities for these additional monies. RBUSD will use the input from this survey to create the ESSER III Expenditure Plan.
Please take a few minutes to provide us with your input and feedback by completing the brief survey HERE.
The window for the survey closes on Friday, October 1, 2021.
