Season Greetings everyone!
It truly has been a challenging time for after school enrichment. In March of 2020, when the COVID-19 crisis occurred, RVEF had to cancel all classes scheduled for the spring. While the pandemic remained at large at the start of the 2020-21 school year, the foundation with a valiant effort and support from the District and our instructors, managed to switch to online classes. We were also able to provide a successful 5-week summer program (in person and online) as well as a scaled back listing of fall courses at specific school sites (due to District and COVID restrictions).
RVEF has decided not to run any WINTER Session classes. We plan to take this time to review our new and evolving models of class implementation and use them as a stepping stone as RVEF reinvents itself for this coming spring and summer. We are confident that there are exciting opportunities for the organization to innovate in the coming years and hope you will continue to support us through this transition.
We want to better serve ALL young people to pursue life-long learning and critical thinking at every campus within the Rincon Valley Union School District. We know we are not serving all children equitably and have made the decision to work more closely with the District and each school’s parents club to create a more equitable after school program moving forward.
Parent and instructor surveys, along with small meetings with specific groups will be scheduled in the coming months. Your voice is important to us. The enrichment program can only work if we communicate openly with one another and create valuable partnerships across the board.
We thank you for your understanding and look forward to bringing back, with your help, an improved program that better serves its diverse community.
Sincerely,
Cathy Hatcher-England, M.A. RVEF Enrichment Coordinator
