Good morning Banning USD Community,
The Banning USD Leadership team has monitored Tropical Storm Hilary all weekend and early this morning; several crews have assessed any potential hazards and/or safety concerns to ensure that our facilities are safe and ready for students and staff to return. We have directly communicated with the City of Banning this morning and Riverside County Emergency Management officials to determine our schools are free of any potential safety hazards.
Schools will continue regular operations today, Monday, August 21st.
The safety of students and staff is of the utmost importance. We are aware that some families may be impacted and those with District transportation concerns will be contacted. Schools will be open and operational today to provide academic instruction for those who will be able to attend. We understand there are several impacts from the storm that may impede and/or interfere with some students being able to attend and/or participate in normal operations.
Thank you for your patience and please stay safe.

Dear Nicolet and Banning Community,
It is with mixed emotions and a very heavy heart that I announce my departure from Nicolet Middle School. After thoughtful consideration, I have made the difficult decision to accept a position at another school district.
My time at Nicolet Middle School has been incredibly rewarding, and I am grateful for the privilege of serving as your principal. Over the years, I have witnessed the dedication and passion of our teachers, staff, students, and families. I will continue to stay connected and watch the continued growth and successes to come here at Nicolet and Banning.
I am proud of the achievements we have accomplished during my time here. I have had the honor of seeing 7 different classes come through our doors. The memories and relationships I have formed will always hold a special place in my heart.
As I prepare to transition to my new role, I am confident that Nicolet Middle School will continue to grow and thrive and provide an exceptional educational experience for all students. My final day is still to be determined, but we can assure you that Banning Unified School District is committed to finding only the best replacement and making this transition as seamless as possible.
I would like to express my deepest gratitude to each and every one of you. Thank you for your unwavering support. I will carry these memories with me as I step into the next chapter of my career.
Remember, even though I may be physically leaving, my heart will always remain a part of the Banning community.
Wishing you all continued success, growth, and happiness.
And if someone hasn’t told you today that they love you, Mrs. Rodriguez is saying, “ I LOVE YOU!”
Warmest regards,
Mrs. Rodriguez
Proud Palomino Principal
