Chromebook Distribution to students

Chrombook distribution will be coming up  on July 29 from 4:00pm-6:00pm, and on July 30th from 8:00am-10:00am and also from 4:00pm-6:00pm to support remote learning.  Chromebook distribution is for those families that have indicated that they need a computer for remote learning or iSchool.

This year, for learning, your child will use Schoology to access their instruction.  Please see this 5 minute VIDEO on how parents and guardians can help support learning through Schoology while outside of school.


Virtual Meet the Teacher

Meet the Teacher Night will be virtual.  On Thursday, July 30th, you receive an email from your child’s new teacher between 3:00-4:00pm.  This email will introduce you to  your new teacher for the 20/21 school year.  You will also have an opportunity to view a powerpoint, introducing the teacher a little more and it will also contain information about the school, the staff and this school year.  There will be an additional opportunity for you to virtually meet with your child’s teacher on Monday, August 3rd.  Be on the lookout for sign up times and Google invitations to have a meet and greet with them. 

Please also refer to the Frequently Asked Questions section of the District’s website to help support any additional questions you may have on the return to school.

Dear Students, Parents and the Rancho Gabriela Community,

It is with mixed feeling that I deliver this news. This year will be my final year at Rancho. I am retiring and will pursue another career. I have had 10 great years at Rancho serving students, teachers, and our community. Thank you for entrusting me as your principal for my tenure. Rancho has the best staff in the district and Ms. Ruff will take over as principal next year which is what I hoped for. 

You are in many great hands of Rancho staff members helping your children and young adults grow into EPIC adults. 

Thank you.

Mr. Kerr

Dear Rancho Families,

We know there are many questions regarding the grading process as we are doing remote learning for this last semester. While it is our hope that remote learning is a meaningful and engaging experience, we are being flexible to ensure that students have every opportunity to demonstrate competency.

Here are the grading guidelines we are following for the Spring 2020 semester for K-8 students:
 

• K-5th grade student work should not exceed 1 - 2 hours per day, or approximately 15 minutes per subject. Please note that reading (or ELA) and math may be slightly longer.


• 6th - 8th grade student work should not exceed 20 to 30 minutes per day, per subject, or 2 to 3 hours a day in total.


• Teachers will give one grade per subject, every week. This includes the special that each class is scheduled for that week.


• Late work rules have been suspended, so if work is late it will be graded for full credit.


• Shorter quizzes will replace unit tests and students will have the opportunity for retakes.


• In general, work should not negatively impact grades. If the teacher notes that the work is not at the same level the student performed at prior to the closure, work should be returned to the student to redo.


• If a student does not turn in an assignment, an Incomplete (I) will be entered and the teacher will reach out first to the student and then to the parent to encourage completion.

We look forward to working with your students remotely for the remainder of the year. If you ever have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to reach out to your child’s teacher or principal. It is our goal to make remote learning as easy as possible during this challenging time, and we are dedicated to working with each of you to make that happen.

Thank you!

The Dysart Unified School District would like to celebrate students, staff and community members who are contributing to the greater good during this unprecedented time. Do you have a teacher or staff member who is going above and beyond in assisting a student in remote learning?  Is your student/club working on a community service project or spreading cheer through a positive action? Did a community group or organization donate time or goods to your school? We want to hear from you. Please fill out the form below with the information and share a photo of the kind act so we can share these #DysartExtraordinary actions with our community.
