Good Afternoon BRSSD Community,
As our community and staff continue to think about an option for in-person learning, our District teams continue to prepare. The health, safety and well-being of our educators and students is our highest priority.
Our next Board meeting will be this Monday, November 9th at 6:15 pm. On our agenda is a reopening update. You can find the agenda with supporting documents by clicking here.
In preparation for offering a hybrid option at our school sites in January, I would like to share a few important dates with you. Each school site will host a Community Town Hall. All meetings will be recorded, live-streamed, and subsequently posted to each school’s website within 24 hours. Please mark your calendars!
Tuesday, November 17th
Wednesday, November 18th

BRSSD will be hosting an expert panel of medical professionals to discuss health and safety as schools reopen. Our panel discussion on November 30th from 6:00-7:30 pm will be geared towards families. Our panel discussion on January 12th from 3:00-4:30 pm we will focus on questions from educators. More information will follow.
I'm pleased to announce that BRSSD recently qualified for the extended Seamless Summer Lunch program, which allows for all students to eat lunch for free regardless of eligibility.
Lunches must be ordered in advance and picked up. Please note: the District only receives funding for meals that are picked up. If you place an order but do not pick it up, it becomes a cost for the District.
The District is currently offering a five-day meal kit through LunchMasters. Menus will be available for ordering by noon on Monday, November 9. Orders must be entered by 10AM on Thursday for pickup the following Monday. Pickup schedule is as follows:
- Meal kits for students at Ralston, Fox, or Cipriani will be available for pick-up at Ralston, outside the office from 10:30-12:30.
- Meal kits for students at Central and Nesbit will be available for pick-up at Nesbit, curbside just outside the MUR from 11:00-1:00.
- Meal kits for students from Redwood Shores and Sandpiper will be available for pick-up at Sandpiper, curbside just outside the office from 11:30-1:30.
For families that would like to order lunch but are in need of assistance regarding the delivery windows, PTA volunteers can deliver. Please sign up here.
Again, we thank you for your continued support as we continue to address the teaching and learning needs of our community. We are always better together!
Sincerely,
Dan Deguara
Superintendent
