Good Afternoon BRSSD Community!

Learning Continuity Plan
Senate Bill 98 (SB98) establishes the Learning Continuity and Attendance Plan (Learning Continuity Plan) requirements for the 2020–21 school year. The Learning Continuity Plan is intended to balance the needs of all stakeholders, including educators, parents, students and community members, while both streamlining engagement and condensing several pre existing plans and replaces the LCAP for the 2020–21 school year.
The Learning Continuity Plan memorializes the planning process already underway for the 2020–21 school year and includes descriptions of the following: addressing gaps in learning; conducting meaningful stakeholder engagement; maintaining transparency; addressing the needs of unduplicated pupils, students with unique needs, and students experiencing homelessness; providing access to necessary devices and connectivity for distance learning; providing resources and supports to address student and staff mental health and social emotional well-being; and continuing to provide school meals for students.
Commit to Your Child’s Education
Your child’s elementary and middle school education sets the foundation for their higher learning. I am asking our entire community to commit to giving all our children an engaging and high-quality education by supporting two organizations, your school’s PTA and SchoolForce, that provide funding for the excellent educational opportunities BRSSD offers.
The PTA funds things such as instructional materials, teacher stipends, school and classroom supplies, field trips, after school clubs, parent education, communications, teacher/staff appreciation, and community events that make each site unique, and provide a sense of community. SchoolForce addresses all the critical district-wide programs such as credentialed teachers; in-class and at-home technology; art, music and physical education programs; professional development; teacher innovation grants; and social emotional learning and support for our students, staff and parents.
Giving has never been easier. By making one donation to the Education Commitment Campaign, you can support both organizations at one time. Watch this short video to learn how it works. Please give what you can by Oct 31. Thank you for your continued support!
