Bay Area health officials remind residents that many commonly celebrated Halloween and Día de Los Muertos activities carry high risk for spreading COVID-19. Focusing on decorations, limiting activities to the people you live with, and virtual costume parties or contests will help keep our communities safe this season, especially our children. Together, we all need to do as much as we can to protect ourselves and those around us. For more details on safe and fun activities, as well as high-risk activities to avoid, please check out all of the helpful information from the Santa Clara County Public Health Department's recent Halloween press release. https://www.sccgov.org//press-statement-09-28-20-joint-sta

Great 2nd day for our kindergarten and first grade students.

The three pillars of flattening the curve of the COVID-19 spread are hand hygiene, wearing facial coverings and keeping physically distant from others. By practicing these in conjunction, we can ensure the safety of our students, staff, teachers, and our community members at home. Facial coverings are required on all students (TK-8) and staff on campus at all times unless eating, drinking or doing rigorous exercise. Physical distancing will reduce the likelihood of cont...act that may lead to transmission of the coronavirus and has been a widely used strategy during the pandemic. Staff have been trained and students will be trained on protocols for physical distancing for both indoor and outdoor spaces and helpful signage will be posted.
