Journal Highlights
- Vista Grande Specialized Small Groups
- November Calendar
Hello Amazing VG Families,
If you watched the SRVUSD Board Meeting on, 10/27/2020, you are now aware that we are able to begin bringing small groups of students back on campus in Specialized Small Groups.
- ADDED: Small Groups are running in November and December. At Vista Grande the classes have been set up to support getting kids on campus if their parents are interested and are primarily supporting Social Emotional Well-Being and some also have a component of Academic Enrichment.
- In Accordance with Contra Costa Guidelines students will be spaced 6 feet apart; these classes will be outdoors weather permitting or indoors due to supplies used and cooler weather.
- At Vista Grande we will begin the week of November 3rd with two opportunities; both will support students in 2nd-5th Grade both from 2:45-3:45 on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
- UPDATED: Opportunity for TK Students was added, see below, and will begin the week of November 9th.
- UPDATED: Opportunity for Kindergarten and 1st Graders was added, see below, and will begin the week of November 9th.
- We may add more options if interest is high and we have staff that is interested in this offering.
- Please note that all families that are selected to bring their children to campus to participate in these opportunities will need to sign and return a LIABILITY FORM for their child to participate. We have a fillable form ready once we confirm your child's participation, but would like you to review it first (see above) to ensure you are comfortable with signing your child up on the google form/s below. Please DO NOT print and submit as we will send it to you separately if your child is selected and we will collect it prior to the first day of participation.
- If you are interested in the first weeks of specialized small groups that begin on Nov. 3rd, your Google Form MUST be submitted by Thursday, 10/29 at 4:00pm so we can form groups and collect liability forms prior to allowing students on campus the following week.
- If you choose a later date on the google forms please submit your sign ups as soon as possible so we have time to form groups and and collect the liability forms prior to allowing students on campus.
Please note Specialized Small Groups:
- Will be set up to establish stable groups up to 14 students
- Dates and times are subject to change based on student sign ups and feedback
- To respect protected cohort; students will only be placed in one Small Group Choice, you are more than welcome to sign up for multiple to increase your chances of being selected for one
Please email me directly if you have questions that I can support you with, ojuergens@srvusd.net and I will do my best to respond to you in a timely fashion.
THANK YOU,
:) Principal Juergens
