For the Week of December 14, 2020
Important Update from the Principal
Greetings Santa Margarita School Community,
As you’ve probably heard, last night, the Oceanside Unified Board of Education made the decision for our elementary schools to return to the Virtual Learning Model, effective Monday, December 14th. This decision was made in light of the rapidly rising COVID-19 cases and staffing shortages. This means that all of our PK-5th grade students, including those with IEPs, will return to the virtual learning schedule, and our 6th-8th grade students will remain in virtual learning until San Diego County returns to the “red tier”. Students will continue to engage virtually when we return from the break and begin the second semester. District Staff will present an update to the Board of Education and community during the regularly scheduled January 12, 2021 Board of Education meeting.
As we pivot to virtual learning, I want to assure you that our amazing teachers will continue to work hard to provide a seamless and rigorous learning experience for your child. We love our students and can’t wait until we can return to in-person learning. Until then, your student(s) will attend their classes daily using the attached virtual schedule. This schedule can also be found on our school website. Please be on the lookout for a communication from your child’s teacher on Class Dojo regarding their Virtual Learning schedule, login information, and materials distribution.
Our office will continue to be open for appointments only and nutrition services will continue to offer meals at Santa Margarita on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 12:00-1:30pm. The holiday meal will be offered at North Terrace only. The EEP and SLC programs will also continue next week. For the most up-to-date information, please visit our school website at smarg-ousd-ca.schoolloop.com.
Don’t forget that school will be closed from December 21st- January 8th for Winter Break. As always, should you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to email me at teresa.richmond@oside.us. I hope this holiday break brings you joy and wellness and I look forward to seeing your student(s) online next week.
Your partner in learning,
Mrs. Richmond
