Superintendent's Message
The Board of Education and I thank you for your patience, understanding, and cooperation as the District continues to provide you learning opportunities during this unprecedented physical closure of schools. Know that nothing is more important to us than your safety and your social and intellectual development. Accordingly, we ask that you remain engaged in your education by completing your assignments online. We know this is a difficult time for you as well. But we are confident the unity and vitality of our District community will give us the necessary strength, so that together, we overcome this temporary but complex reality that affects us in so many ways.
Please continue to visit the Rialto USD webpage for ongoing updates on school closures, Distance Learning, services, and other relevant information.
-Cuauhtémoc Avila, Ed.D.

Instruction/Distance Learning
What You Need to Know
This year’s Distance Learning (Bridge Academy) will look very different from what you experienced in the Spring. During the 2020-2021 school year, students will participate in daily virtual synchronous (live) instruction. Teachers will communicate with students daily and support academic progress. Your teacher’s Google Classroom will be the primary source of instruction. Attendance will be taken daily. Students will be required to complete assessments and assignments (asynchronous) that will be graded.
Starting August 10, your child will be logging into Google Classroom(s) to access their assignment schedule for the week. Students in grade levels preschool-fifth grade will have (1) Google Classroom account. Students in grades 6-12 will have (6) Google Classroom accounts (one for each class period). Your teachers will be there to support you on a daily basis with questions you might have.
Below are the daily schedules for elementary and secondary schools:

Counseling Services
In an effort to support the diverse needs of our students RUSD, has worked to staff our schools with a variety of counselors who all work to address the three domains: academic, career, and social/emotional development. Be sure to reach out to your school site to determine who is assigned as your student’s assigned academic counselor is, but also ask about the additional supports that may be provided on your school campus.
During Bridge Academy/Distance Learning, counselors may provide virtual appointments to students for academic counseling, monitoring, and guidance in any of these domains. These appointments may be conducted via email, telephone, or Google Meet.
If you have a need to communicate with your counselor, please visit the school website and find your counselor's email address to send them an email. Your counselor will get back to you within 24 hours.

Technology Support For Students
Mobile Hotspots
The District will be distributing mobile hotspots to families that do not have home internet. Mobile hotspots create Wi-Fi networks that can be shared by multiple users within about 10 meters of the hotspot device. The hotspots are set up to connect to district devices and will connect automatically. Devices come with Children's Internet Protection Act (CIPA) compliance requirements. Students who attempt to visit an inappropriate site will be blocked by the device. If your family is in need of a hotspot device, please contact your school site.

If you need technical support (such as issuing of devices), please contact your school's Instructional Technology Assistant. Below you'll find a list with their name and email.
