School Highlights

Face Covering and Social Distancing Protocols

While we are still requesting social distancing be respected whenever possible on campus, CDPH has removed minimum social distancing requirements generally and specifically in classrooms and buses.


As is required by OSHA and/or California Department of Public Health, the SUHSD will maintain the requirement for all students and employees to wear face coverings indoors on all school sites absent a medical exemption cleared through the District. Similarly, all visitors to District facilities will be required to wear masks absent exemptions.


When outdoors, staff, visitors and students may decide not to wear a mask, but are still asked to respect social distancing. In large gatherings outdoors, staff, students and volunteers will be encouraged to wear masks.
