Covid-19 Reminders:

  • If a parent reaches to you to say that their child is staying home with symptoms, please let Karen know. She will follow up as necesary.


  • If a parent speaks of a positive test result for the STUDENT, please report this to Karen asap. She will notify Administrators to take next steps.


  • If students have positive family members at home, they do not have to quarantine. They may come to school. Please do not share your personal opinions about to quarantine or not with parents. Please refer them to Karen for these questions. We always want to welcome students according to District guidelines.


  • Make up work is not required to be provided. Students do not get counted present for completing SeeSaw work while they are absent. They turn in a note as usual.


  • We are NOT pressuring families about absences this year. If you have a special situation, where you would like an Administrator to speak to a parent about regular school attendance, we can certainly do that. Just reach out to us and let us know.


  • Parents can send you a request for a plexi-glass shield and you may use that as documentation to provide one. This is by parent request only.


  • If YOU would like to set up a plexi-glass shield for yourself, please reach out to Ms. Dickson so we can have a conversation about meeting your health concerns.


  • Please do not come to school if you think you are experiencing Covid-19 symptoms. Please let Tracy know so you can fill out a Covid form and take a personal illness day.

Release Form: I have notified teachers who have students whose parents did not give permission for their student’s picture to be published online. If you did not receive an email from me, then we have permission to use your students’ pictures. However, if you get a new student, please check with Ms. Cortes to see if we have a signed release form from their parents. Sylvia has more forms if you need one.
