Fun Sites

NOTE TO PARENTS: We have provided the following websites for your child's fun and enjoyment and to assist them in conducting research on the web. Please take note that because of the nature of the Internet, and the World Wide Web in particular, it is still possible to access a series of links that may take one to almost anywhere. In other words, in spite of our efforts to supply appropriate material and links on this page, parents should supervise children while they surf the Web. The Round Valley Unified School District recommends that before allowing your children to travel the Web, you read Parent's Guide to the Internet by the US Dept. of Education with your family.
