Re-Opening Schools 2020-2021
Last Thursday, the district sent out a Re-Opening Schools Survey via text through our district messaging system. If you didn't get the opportunity to take the survey, I've included the link below in our newsletter. I've also included a Message to Parents from our Associate Superintendent, Ed Santopadre regarding the rationale behind the survey. For some parents, the survey created mixed emotions regarding the re-opening of schools. Many of you have questions so I will try to answer some of them this week. We are following the lead of Solano County Public Health, California Department of Education and the State of California. If we get the green light to re-open fully without restrictions, we will do so. If we are told that we may re-open, but with modifications such as limiting the number of students in classes and on campus then we will need to adjust our daily schedules. This is where we need your input. We need to know how many of you are planning to have your children return to our schools should we re-open fully without restrictions. We want families to have options such as Distance Learning/Independent Study should they feel uncomfortable sending their children to school regardless if county and state officials say it is fine to do so. It's important to hear our parents' voices. Please consider taking the survey.
On a different note, the Sierra Vista Student Council created a virtual Spirit Week for our school this week. Monday- wear your Grizzly wear, Tuesday- show off your sport or favorite activity, Wednesday- take a photo with your pet(s), Thursday- how are you staying occupied and Friday- dress like your favorite staff/teacher. To participate take a picture and post it to our Instagram account. Our Instagram account is sierravistak8.
This week we are finalizing our plans for the end of the year. These plans include picking of yearbooks, AR shirts, emptying PE lockers, turning in textbooks and library books, picking up report cards and 8th grade promotion certificates/awards. We will publish our plans in next week's newsletter.
Reminder that next weekend is a 3 day weekend due to Memorial Day on Monday, May 25th.
Have a great week!
