Welcome back from Spring Break!

Whether you went somewhere or stayed home, hope you had a rejuvenating spring break!

If you did travel somewhere, please see this page for current State of California travel recommendations, or this page for CDC travel recommendations. Both of these pages advise a minimum 7-day quarantine for any unvaccinated individuals–adults and children–who traveled (10 days without a negative test result).

The return dates are as follows:

Grades 3-5: Monday, April 19

For grades 3-5, the teachers’ planning day is Friday, April 16, so students will stay home doing asynchronous work that day. For grades K-2, the teachers’ planning day is Friday, April 23, so those students will stay at home on that day doing asynchronous work.

Lastly, grades K-5 will all be on the same bell schedule for the rest of the school year:
