• Beginning March 31, school volunteers will no longer be required to show proof of COVID vaccination or a negative test.
• In mid-April, our District will review the restriction on the number of volunteers allowed at one time. Currently, our protocols allow for no more than two volunteers per classroom at any given time.
• All volunteers must be cleared through Civicore.

We would like to thank the Alameda County Office of Education (ACOE) and the Alameda County Public Health Department (ACPHD) for providing free COVID-19 at-home rapid antigen test kits to all students and staff for optional use prior to returning from Spring Break. Test kits used prior to the return from Winter Break resulted in identifying more than 130 COVID-positive cases before staff and students returned to our campuses and facilities, and we are hopeful that voluntary testing prior to the return from Spring Break will be one way we can reduce the spread of COVID-19 once again.

At-Home COVID-19 Test Kit Distribution Timeline

• Thursday, March 31: Distribution of test kits to students

• Elementary students: Test kits sent home by classroom teachers

• Middle school students: Test kits received during last period

• High school students (GHS and LHS): Test kits received during second or third period

• Del Valle and Vineyard students: Test kits available in the office

• Friday, April 1: Students not present at school on 3/31 can receive a test kit from their teacher or school office. Our district and school offices will be closed from April 4 - April 8 for Spring Break and test kits will not be available for pick-up during that time.

Each kit contains detailed instructions for self-administration along with materials for two tests:

• Test #1 is recommended for use 3 days before returning to school on April 8, 2022.

• Test #2 is recommended for use 1 day before returning to school on April 10, 2022.

Purple, Access Bio/ CareStart Kits: Expiration date gives month and year only; a 4.2022 expiration means the kit does not expire until after April 30, 2022.

Reporting Results

It is not necessary to use the QR code or app download instructions on the test box to report results. Additionally, we will not be asking families to report results to PrimaryHealth, however, if your student receives a positive test, please follow our current COVID-19 isolation protocols.

We wish you a safe and enjoyable Spring Break next week and thank you for your partnership!

Hello Labrador Families! We are looking forward to once again hosting Wine Country Nights at 3 Steve's Winery on Friday, May 13, 2022, after a two year hiatus. Let's get ready to celebrate with our fellow Labrador parents, guardians, and staff, for an evening out! In past years, we have asked each class to create and donate a themed basket to be auctioned off at our WCN event. This year, we are seeking individuals or groups who would like to create a basket or who would like to donate items for the auction. Please sign up here to make a basket!

All items should be donated by April 25th and can come from individuals, businesses, and from our community. Themed baskets are a great way to generate interest for the evening and silent auction...we need your help to make Wine Country Nights a fun success! In the past, baskets have included Livermore activities (dining out and wine tasting), kids birthday parties, family fun packs, weekends away, coffee, chocolate, cabins, Date Night, Ladies Night, All Things Outlander, Movie Night (tickets & popcorn), Spa Day. We encourage you to reach out to our supportive Livermore community for some or all of the items and a donation letter for local businesses with our Tax ID will be sent to your email provided. We ask for a minimum value of $50 per basket. Thank you!
