Optional Weekly COVID Testing - Introductory Town Hall Meeting with Grapefruit Health
We are pleased to share that we are partnering with healthcare professionals to provide regular, optional student testing at USD school sites starting mid-September. This new partnership with Grapefruit COVID Testing adds an additional layer in our safety protocols in order to continue to support healthy learning environments in USD.
We will be hosting an online Town Hall meeting with doctors from Grapefruit COVID Testing who will explain the optional COVID-19 testing program that will be available to all Union School District students attending school on campus. Only students whose parents/guardians authorize the testing would participate, and parents will receive secure, same-day results.
Click here or fill out the form below if you are interested in attending.
- A Zoom link will be emailed to all families and posted on the District website prior to the meeting next Wednesday.
- If you are unable to attend the meeting, a recording of it will be available and will be shared with all families.
USD Highlights
Alta Vista
Carlton
At Carlton Avenue School, students are very happy to be back at school! At lunch recess, students have been busy playing their favorite outdoor games and working in the school garden.
During class, students are building relationships and developing a greater awareness of themselves and their peers during daily social emotional learning activities and collaborative projects.
Dartmouth
Guadalupe
The highlight of the opening of the school year at Guadalupe has been the introduction of our new Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) curriculum, Caring School Community. Daily class meetings are focused on building connections between students, creating a community within classrooms and across the school, and resolving any conflicts or concerns. A parent education component will share the "common language" used across the school so that families can reinforce the lessons and also benefit from the program.
