PSUSD COVID - 19 Information
Keeping PSUSD families informed, connected, safe & learning!
Dear PSUSD Families,
"Let me start by sharing that as we enter our fourth week of the 2020-21 school year, I could not be more proud and impressed by the majority of what we are hearing and seeing as our students, teachers and families are learning how to navigate distance learning. Although overall, distance learning is moving along for staff and students alike, it is not without its hurdles and occasional glitches. When looking at the overall situation and how everyone has stepped up to meet the challenges, I can’t help but marvel at the resiliency and perseverance that has thus far resulted in an excellent percentage of our students meeting with their teachers virtually each day, completing their assignments and making the best of the less-than-perfect situation of not being able to engage with their teachers and classmates in person.
What we know at this point is that Riverside County’s COVID-19 statistics still leave us in the “widespread” category, which means that we cannot physically open our classrooms at this time. The good news is that the positivity and hospitalization rates as well as the number of daily cases has been declining for the past several days. If this continues for the next couple of weeks, we will move to the next category and begin planning implementation of our hybrid program, during which we can start to bring back some students to campuses with the goal of up to 50 percent of each class in classrooms two days a week and continued distance learning on the other days."
