About the Employer

Round Valley Unified School District is a small, rural K-12 district in Mendocino County serving over 500 students. We have one TK-8 school, Round
Valley Elementary School, which is the largest school in the district with over 300 students. Round Valley High School is our only comprehensive
high school and it currently serves 9-12. We also have one Continuation High School that currently serves students in grades 10-12. The district also
has a California State Sponsored Preschool and a branch facility of Mendocino College on our campus.
The school district is located in the community of Covelo, a small town in the northeast corner of Mendocino
County. Covelo is an agricultural community, with ranching being predominant. The Round Valley Indian Tribes (RVIT) lands are also
located in Covelo and surrounding areas.
Because of the high number of Native American students that attend schools in Round Valley Unified School District, we have worked closely
with the RVIT, American Indian parents, students, and the community to develop courses that support understanding of the culture and
heritage of our Native American student population. At the high school, we provide four a-g certified Wailaki language courses and one Yuki
language course that represent two languages from the RVITs. White Bison, Native American Cultural Arts, Native American History and our
Native American Club are representative of the courses we offer that are culturally responsive to our student population. Native American
Cultural Arts and Native American History have been approved for a-g certification. At the elementary school, we provide an Indian Land
Tenure Curriculum for all students and are providing language instruction at some grade levels. Districtwide, we bring cultural events to our
students, including supporting the Round Valley Feather Dancers. High School students work with staff to plan a yearly Big Time, where Native
American Indian dancers from around the state share their dancing, traditions, native foods, and crafts. Our parents and community members
participate with the students throughout our district at the Big Time and it is well attended. Traditional stick games are played in our schools and
we have begun competition with other local schools. We are very proud of our accomplishments in providing more cultural experiences in our schools.
At Round Valley Unified School District, we have made a commitment to have small class sizes, especially in
