Yesterday, we shared information on the new statewide system for COVID monitoring.  Our community is seeing relief from our first surge of the COVID virus, but county health is telling us to expect a second surge of COVID cases as a result of families being required to evacuate and mix outside of their households because of the fire. Whatever our county’s COVID status is, there are some additional supports that districts may implement.  As I shared a couple of weeks ago, our Board accepted our School Reopening Advisory Committee’s recommendation to remain in distance learning until the end of the semester in January. The following outlines our planning for additional student and family support as we continue with distance learning this fall.
