COVID testing on campus

Both school sites now have the ability to test students for the purpose of modifying quarantine for close contacts or when students return from being out sick. If your child is out sick they can return to school after 24 hours of being fever/symptom-free. With a signed consent form, students can complete a rapid antigen test, get Covid test results, and return to class within 15 minutes! This will reduce or eliminate the time students need to stay off campus while waiting for a negative test result.


For families that do not want to sign the consent form, we will continue to follow CDPH guidance on quarantine for unvaccinated individuals. THIS ARTICLE specifies the procedures we will continue to follow. Thanks for your understanding and assistance with keeping our campuses as safe as possible and students learning in person!

Family Resource Center

The FRC will be distributing their winter break food bags for families who have signed up on Thursday, December 16. It will be drive-thru style at Pine Hill from 8:30-2:00 and 3:00-6:00.

Highlighted Resources-

  • If your family is behind on rent or utilities due to covid we can connect you with the Housing is Key program to possibly get financial assistance.
  • If you or your family are interested in getting vaccinated, we can assist you in the process and offer transportation assistance.
