The back gate/back loop is being reserved for students in classrooms 12-23 and their younger/older siblings ***(with the exception of Kinder siblings)
***Families with students who should enter at the back gate with Kinder students may enter through the front of the school so kinder students may be dropped off entering through Gate #1.
At the front loop, (grades K-5) students will be entering the gate closest to the classroom building where their classroom is located. Designated gates will be open for arrival and signage with teacher names listed will be displayed to assist students and parents to locate the correct gate.
Circles/markers will be placed on the ground to indicate where students stand if they are waiting in line to come in, before the gates have opened, six feet apart. Students will wear masks while in line and entering the school.
Parents will be asked to drop off student(s) in the designated loop while remaining in the vehicle. Parents will not be permitted to enter the school gates at any time.
Any parents/families who walk students to arrival will need to walk students to the sidewalk before the gate and have them walk to class. Staff will be near to support younger students. Walkers will also wait on the circles/markers to enter gates if gates are not opened. Parents can watch students from a distance but may not wait with them in line to minimize contact between families. Masks are required when on campus.
SPED students who arrive by bus will arrive in the back loop and the front loop and be met by a teacher or IA who will walk them to class.
Please note the following:
No student entry prior to 8:35 a.m. (AM).
No parents on campus unless a prior meeting has been arranged.
Parents must enter through the front office for health screening and to sign-in.
- Students will be entering and exiting through teacher-identified gates. Signs will be posted on those gates as well as staff monitoring them.
- Students will enter classrooms through the outside doors.
- During class time, they will use the hallway to access the restrooms and return to class.
- If a student needs to go to the health office, the teacher will call the health clerk/LVN and the person will go directly to the classroom and assess the student outside of the classroom before escorting the student safely to the proper room (health office or transition room).

Child care hub hours of operation will be 8:15 am to 3:55 pm. To be considered for enrollment, parents must submit the electronic form below.
As many families' learning model confirmations may be predicated on securing childcare, TVUSD's Childcare Department will confirm your child care enrollment status, based on space availability, by Thursday, February 25, to allow families to complete the learning confirmation survey by Friday, February 26.
If you are interested in childcare as part of your child's on-campus learning model, please complete the registration form below as soon as possible. If a program at one site reaches capacity for some reason, we will make every effort to contact the parent needing childcare to discuss options at other sites that may be available.
The application window closes on Tuesday, February 23, 2021, to ensure notifications by Thursday, February 25.
