COVID-19 Volunteer Procedure Update
On September 13, 2022, the CDPH rescinded the public health order mandating vaccine verification for workers in schools. The previous public health order required unvaccinated or partially vaccinated school workers to undergo weekly COVID-19 testing. Per the updated public health order, weekly testing of unvaccinated or partially vaccinated school workers, including volunteers, is no longer required as of September 17, 2022. We appreciate you and everything you do for the SMUSD community! Thank you for your patience and flexibility over the last two
years.

Improving traffic safety together
The City of Carlsbad is asking parents to talk to their students about traffic safety and use special care getting to and from school, whether driving, biking or walking:
Eliminate distractions. Phones, music, kids, pets – there are so many things that vie for our attention every day. Tragedy can occur in a split second.
If you have an e-bike in your family, please make sure you understand the rules of the road, including new Carlsbad-specific rules passed by the City Council to improve safety.
Allow extra time over ,to get where you need to go.
Be kind and patient. We are all part of the Carlsbad community, and working together, we can make our streets safer for everyone.
