Message from the Principal
Dear Don Benito Families,
Hope you enjoyed the lovely weekend! The staff is working on the final details to be ready for school reopening. On Monday and Tuesday, March 29-30, teachers have the option of providing asynchronous instructional activities for their students. Teachers should have communicated directly with students and parents regarding their choice.
Please remember, there is no class on Wednesday, March 31, in observance of Cesar Chavez Day.
The week of March 29, parents who opted for in person learning will receive a letter by email, letting them know about their child's learning plan (2 or 4 days) and days they will attend school. Information regarding student drop off and pick will also be included. We have prioritized siblings to attend on the same days.
Important information regarding reopening:
- Kindergarten through second grade return to school on April 13
- Third through fifth grade return to school on April 20
- The simultaneous model of instruction will be implemented with some students continuing with remote learning and some students returning to their classrooms.
- Mondays will continue with virtual instruction with one hour of synchronous learning and three hours of asynchronous learning through CANVAS. Custodians focus on deep cleaning and staff receives professional development.
- School hours will remain from 8:00 am -12:55 pm for all students. We are working on staggering times for recess to promote social distancing.
- Students' classroom assignments will remain the same, regardless if student is returning to school or continuing with distance learning.
Spring Break starts April 2, with students returning to instruction on April 12. According to the CDC, anyone traveling outside of California needs to quarantine for 10 calendar days. Please let the office know if you need to quarantine. Thank you.
Have a great week!
Sincerely,
Dr. Bugarin
