Good news! Ruby Bridges Elementary School’s power is now fully operational, and the school will re-open tomorrow, January 11 at the usual time. It appears that the main breaker was malfunctioning. This has now been replaced, and all lights, heat, fire alarms, phones, and the internet are working.  Families and staff, we’ll see you tomorrow morning. Welcome back!

Electricians and engineers have been working day and night to determine why the power keeps going out at Ruby Bridges Elementary School and how to fix the problem.  We realize that not being able to send your children to school can be disruptive, and we are deeply sorry for any difficulty this is creating. Please know, however, that as long as the campus has no lights, heat, and phone service, we cannot hold school there.  As such Ruby Bridges will be closed on Wednesday, January 10. We expect the school to open again on Thursday, January 11.

We will send out updates tomorrow afternoon.

Ruby Bridges is closed today, January 9.  The electrical issues from yesterday have not been resolved and we currently do not have any power at the school. We will send out more information as we get it. District officials are involved and are doing everything possible to get issue resolved.

We are aware that the late notice of the school closure is extremely disruptive to busy family schedules and appreciate the flexibility and patience during this time.

Currently Ruby Bridges is without power throughout most of the school. AMP and our Maintenance and Facility office is working on it. We are not closing school but will hold a very untraditional day in the multi purpose room where we have power. We will be able to serve lunch and provide students with activities. If you would like to pick up or drop off your child please come to the multi purpose room. 

First Grade Parents - Your child's Physical is due before December 1, 2017.  Please turn in to the office, fax, or email them to me at aoluna@alameda.k12.ca.us, when completed.

Check your email. An email went out to all who haven't turned one in. Remember to update your new/changed email address in the office. Thank you.

See the attachment for CHDP Form.

Please check your email if you've received one from me regarding your child missing Immunizations.

Can send to aoluna@alameda.k12.ca.us or bring to the office.

Thank you!

Dear Families,

The City of Alameda issued a water quality alert last night for Alameda Point (the old Navy Base). This alert applies to Alameda Point only.  The water at AUSD schools (including Ruby Bridges) is safe to drink.

If you live on Alameda Point, please know that you should not drink water from the faucets or use that water for brushing teeth, washing dishes, or cooking. You also should not use that water for your pets. Crews are currently working on the water problem on the point. City staff is providing bottled water, which can be picked up at the Alameda Point Collaborative office at 677 W. Ranger Avenue. The water will be left outside, can be picked up 24 hours a day, and is only for those affected by this issue.

Again, the water at our school is safe. You can find more information here: https://alamedaca.gov/wateralert.

Sincerely,

Jesse Woodward

Please make sure your child has all of their immunizations completed and turned in to the office by the end of October. You can use the CHDP (Physical) form in the Medical Forms Section found under Health Office. You can also email them to aoluna@alameda.k12.ca.us.  Thank you!
