Holbrook Weekly Newsletter
February 7, 2022
As you know, our school district has moved to to a Group Tracing Method. When there is a positive case, I will send a letter to the classroom(s) of where indoor airspace was shared for more than 15 minutes with a positive case. At the end of the day, I will also send a schoolwide notice.
Students who are identified in the Group Tracing Model do not need to quarantine as long as they:
Remain Symptom-Free
Monitor Symptoms
It is strongly encouraged for students who are notified to test on Day 5.
Thank you for continuing to contact the office when your child is ill and keeping them at home! You are helping us keep the entire community safe!
National Counseling Week
National School Counseling Week (#NSCW22) is February 7-11, 2022 to focus public attention on the unique contribution of school counselors within U.S. school systems. National School Counseling Week, recognized in an MDUSD Board resolution and sponsored by the American School Counselor Association (ACSA), highlights the tremendous impact school counselors can have in helping students achieve school success and plan for a career. The 2022 theme is "School Counseling: Better Together."
We appreciate our School Counselor, Ms. Angela Ordaz!

Monthly Life Skill
The monthly life skill for February is Problem Solving.
- Problem solving is to seek solutions in difficult situations and everyday problems; to discover.
- Problem solving looks like figuring out a task or putting an object together.
- Problem solving sounds like "I get it now," or "It fits."
- Problem solving can cause you to feel confused, curious, happy, proud, or frustrated.
Please encourage discussion of our life skill at home too.
To help deal with problems around the house and within the family, make a "Problem Solving Box." Family members may write their problems down and put them into a box. One day or night a week, meet as a family and read the problems. Collaboratively, come up with solutions as a family, allowing every person to share their ideas and thoughts.
Thank you for your support with this!
