A Weekly CECA Newsletter for Staff Members
A Message from Dr. Anderson and Mr. Stolze
It was such a pleasure visiting CECA this week (August 15th), seeing Mr. Mead do his PBIS talk with Kinders, and observing MYP and TK classrooms. We saw students engaged and doing creative activities with a standards-based focus. We’d like to give a big shout out to CECA’s yard duty aides! We saw first hand the important role they have supporting and supervising our students. When TK was at lunch, the yard duty aides were so impressive in the way they developed routines and shaped behaviors. Nicely-done, CECA!

IF I THINK I HAVE COVID, WHO DO I CALL?
If you are COVID positive.
If employees are COVID-19 positive or suspect they have been in close
contact with someone with COVID-19, please contact AM at (909)
790-9550 and/or covid_support@ycjusd.us.
If you are directed to stay home, please immediately put your absence
in Frontline. Human Resources monitors which employees are in
quarantine and updates their leaves in Frontline.
Guidance has changed as of March 12, 2022.
Masks are strongly recommended but not required while indoors or outdoors regardless of vaccination status.
No person can be prevented from wearing a mask, unless wearing a mask may pose a safety hazard (watersports).
Masks must be provided to individuals who desire to use one.
Physical Distancing
CDPH recommends focusing on other mitigation strategies for routine classroom instruction
Volunteers or Visitors
Volunteers and visitors are subject to the same masking guidance above.
Volunteers must still either be fully vaccinated or show proof of a negative test within seven calendar days of the school event.
Unvaccinated volunteers and chaperones can now choose to use OTC COVID-19 test kits. They can self administer the test, write their full name, date and time on the test, take a picture of the test and present it to the school. Unvaccinated volunteers and chaperones need to obtain their own OTC test kits.

We have added these courses to your Target/Vector Solutions account. The deadline to complete all assigned trainings is September 16, 2022. Employees will be provided time during their workday to do these trainings, but you may do them on your own time - unpaid - if you wish.
