Sunday, February 7

 

Happy Super Bowl Sunday!! If nothing else, take the time to relax, eat too much and have some fun! Enjoy some self care and find joy in the fact there is no school tomorrow. 

Hey, have you heard? As soon as we adapt to a new guideline, it changes? Ready for the latest?

As a result of the new California Department of Public Health (CDPH) Guidance document (1/14/21), there have been many questions regarding interpreting the distance between classroom chairs.  CDPH Safe Schools 4 All, Technical Assistance Team now recommends measuring the distance of chairs in the classroom from the center of the back of a chair to the center back of the next chair.  Please see the example pictures below. 

So, what has changed is they are now measuring from mid chair to mid chair. I strongly urge you to leave your rooms as they are according to the 4ft guidelines. It gives you some wiggle room in case kids were to move a bit. Let me know if you have questions. 

GATE Testing:

2021-2022 GATE Identification

Testing for GATE identification typically occurs in January, however, this year (20/21 school year) the district will not be conducting GATE testing.  If there are any changes in this decision, the website will be updated to reflect the testing dates.

Contact Laurie Milton at 771-1600, extension 50129 with questions

Class on Quarantine: There is a slight change to the way we have been doing things when your class is out on quarantine. You need to be in a Zoom with all of your students every day of quarantine. I had been giving you a transition day to get everything ready, but you do need to have some sort of Zoom on that first day. That being said, it can be as simple as a 5 minute check in with those students that are able to log on. 

Parent Communication: See below for what is included in communication from the district. Please include this is your parent communication. It is essential to keep our students here on campus. 

1) If a student is not feeling well or has COVID-19 symptoms, the must immediately quarantine and contact their school so our nurse can follow up with additional information.

2) As a cautionary measure, if a family member is awaiting a COVID-19 test, awaiting results, or potentially exposed to a positive case, we ask you to self-quarantine your children until results are in.
