Good morning,

The district will host four school-site specific parent forums next week. The Zoom forums will provide parents with specific information on plans and options as they relate to our three potential reopening scenarios:

Virtual Learning
Students on campus
“Hybrid” model (contingency plan)

Presentations by staff will include:

Scheduling and structures
Curriculum
Assessment and accountability
Safety protocols and PPE
Classroom and school site logistics
Placement options and timelines
Current public health guidance on Covid-19 positive occurrence procedures

Additionally, parents will be provided a draft plan to review and an online option to submit specific questions prior to the forums. Zoom invitations and links to submit questions are provided below.

The ever-evolving topic of school reopening has been widely discussed and debated on a local, state, and national level. The options we will provide next week have been developed according to current directives from County and State Public Health Offices and the CA Department of Education. Without a doubt, these directives and our plans will change as we get closer to the start of the school year. We expect to receive a much-anticipated update from Governor Newsom today which will provide clear guidance and define specific positivity thresholds public schools must adhere to. Please trust our ultimate reopening scenario will align with public health directives, the guiding principles outlined in our Long Range Plan, and our Collective Bargaining Agreements with classified and certificated staff.

Respectfully,

Karl Mueller
Superintendent
