Superintendent's Message
Dear JUHSD Community,
As we wrap up our second week of school, the energy and excitement of students and staff physically being back on campus can be felt district-wide. Thank you to students, parents and staff! We continue focus our attention on the wellbeing of students and staff as we transition back to campus!
I understand that as the as COVID-19 cases climb in the Bay Area, many feel uneasy. We are taking quick action and doing our best to share up to date information with our district community.
During this past Tuesday evening's board meeting, I had the opportunity to present a few new plans and documents that the district office created to better communicate COVID-19 updates and notifications:
*A COVID-19 Dashboard that displays daily, weekly, and monthly data of currently documented cases within members of our district community (students, and staff).
*A Quarantine Requirements flowchart that maps out next steps for when a member of our district community (students and staff) test positive for COVID-19.
*Staff Vaccination data - We have requested vaccination data and will require unvaccinated staff and volunteers to test regularly.
To view the documents mentioned above, and for up-to-date COVID-19 response information, please visit the district's COVID Response page.
I'm so grateful for allowing us to be apart of your student's educational endeavors and for your support of the Jefferson Union High School District; we're here for you!
As always, my door is open.
Warmly,
Toni Presta
Superintendent

COVID-19 Vaccination Clinics
Vaccination Clinic at Daly City Youth Health Center
San Mateo County Health has confirmed that every Wednesday is a Pfizer Vaccination Clinic at the Daly City Youth Health Center, and your students and families can register for that specific location on the MyTurn.com website. https://myturn.ca.gov/
Vaccination Clinic for Youth with Sensory issues or Anxiety
Sequoia Hospital, Hope Technology School, and BACC are partnering to provide COVID-19 vaccines for individuals 12 and older who require a more sensory-sensitive environment. For youth with sensory issues or anxiety that require trained staff members who are skilled in providing vaccinations to students with disabilities, the Sensory Friendly Vaccination Site is available for you. Whether it is walk up or drive through, know that this clinic includes the following: short wait times, minimal transitions, no crowds, visual reminders, social stories on pads, drive through, visual aids and timers, fun rewards, quiet areas, and calm stations.
