Important Information About Lunches
Even though you fill out a lunch calendar in advance, for your child, please know that we call Claremont Nutrition Services every morning early with a lunch count so they can pack an accurate amount of meals for us to pick up mid-morning. We do not have extra meals.
It is important that your child arrives at school on time every day. Attendance is taken at 8:00. If your child is marked absent and has ordered a hot lunch, their lunch will be cancelled.
If your child is tardy, you will need to inform the front desk, no later than 8:30 a.m. that you want a hot lunch when you bring in your child to assure your child will receive a lunch.
Class or School Closure
Our best strategy is still prevention. Thank you for conducting a daily screen of your children before they leave home for symptoms. Also know that we have Rapid tests available to you at your request just for piece of mind.
Should we become aware a case of COVID on campus we will follow CDPH guidelines for notification. The parents of students directly impacted will be notified via phone call. Classes in which a positive case occur will receive a general email notification while preserving individual student confidentiality.
Pre-Register Your Children!
COVID Testing for Students--Be Prepared and Pre-register!
Please know that we will not test your child without your verbal consent, even if you have turned in a virtual consent form--but doing so will eliminate a step down the road. We also have COLOR PCR tests, which take longer for results as they must be shipped to be processed., to verify a positive result from the antigen test.
Primary Health is the platform we use to track testing, parent consents, and notifications. The link below is to our district site.
We will be providing more information about the testing process, but ask for your assistance now in filling out the virtual testing consent for your chld(ren).
Please know that the online registration asks for questions that you may opt to not answer.
Please Sign Consent Form
Student/Parent Handbook and COVID-19 Amendment
Please review safe mask handling with your child or children. You may want to provide your child with a breakaway lanyard to assist with keeping track of masks while going inside and out, for those who choose to take their masks off outside.
