School safety is top of mind for every parent. Here at RUSD, we take a comprehensive approach to creating safe learning environments for our students and staff. We invite you to learn all about it in our most recent podcast episode. You can listen here or watch here. Also, as a reminder, if you or your child hear or see something, say something. Safety concerns can be reported 24/7 through this app, this online form or by calling 1-800-MY-SUSO-1.

Oct. 18: No school K-12

How to Report Absences

Daily attendance is important for all students, but we understand that on occasion a child may need to miss a day of school. On those days, please be sure to report your child's absence by calling a school's attendance line or reporting it through your Infinite Campus Parent Portal. Simply log in, select 'more' from the left navigation and then select "Absence Request." Questions about attendance? Contact your child's school.
