Back to School Night! Tonight! Aug 25, 2021
Note from the Principal
We look forward to welcoming you to Our Back to School Night-- TONIGHT, AUGUST 25TH. It will look a little different this year compared to others. So make sure you read carefully below:
- We are offering Classroom Presentations Only --(We will not be gathering in a large group you will go directly to your student's classroom, and we ask that you leave after the teacher's presentation is completed.)
- 1st-3rd grade will present at--6:30-7:00pm
- 4th-5th grade will present at---7:15-7:45pm
This year we are asking that only one parent attend back to school night to help us follow indoor social distancing protocol and keep everyone safe. We also want to remind you to wear your face masks when in attendance.
NO CHILDREN AND/OR STUDENTS ARE ALLOWED AT BACK TO SCHOOL NIGHT THIS YEAR, and we will not be providing child care. (Not because we don't love having your children in our school, but we are trying to be thoughtful with COVID protocols and safety.)
For those of you who would like to remain distanced and/or who do not have childcare, teachers will be providing you with their complete presentation digitally and be available to answer questions via email.
Here is a map to help you navigate our campus on back to school night.

Quick Reminders from the Office:
A few safety reminders:
- All students should bring a filled water bottle to school daily. This is super important. Communal water fountains are currently shut off, students can fill up water bottles in their classrooms and at the hydration station in the MUR.
- Please remember there is absolutely no parking, stopping or leaving your car in the kindergarten circle during drop off and pick-up. This is staff parking only and only in designated spots.
- Please remember to send your child to school with a face mask (a spare in the backpack is a great idea.) We always have extra to share, but often children prefer their own
- Please no students on campus prior to 7:55 am. We do not have any adult supervision on the playground until 15 minutes prior to the start of the school day.
WCSD COVID-19 Back to School Information 2021-2022
WCSD has developed a COVID-19 Back to School Website where you can find answers to many of your questions. This week, you will find two new information items.
The WCSD COVID-19 Case Dashboard will be updated each day to reflect the most current information. We are committed to transparency with our community regarding cases.
The Student Close Contact Flowchart has also been added to the health page to help answer questions about how we will respond to reported cases and inform close contacts. If you are a close contact, we will work closely with Contra Costa Health Services to notify you as soon as possible.
This new graphic shares information about what to do if your child is in modified quarantine.
As a reminder, all WaLaMOrinda districts have partnered to offer community testing options Alison (updated link on Wed, 8/18/21 @12:30.) This updated version includes the links for all district locations to make it easier to schedule an appointment as well as expanded testing hours at TC.
We anticipate receiving ongoing updates from Contra Costa Health Services and will continue to update our website and communicate new information as it becomes available.
It's a great day to be a bulldog!
