The face covering requirement at schools is not expected to change on June 15. Face covering guidance from the California Department of Public Health and Sacramento County Public Health may change for the 2021-2022 school year, but that has not yet been determined. All San Juan Unified schools will return to a traditional full-time, five days per-week schedule starting Aug. 12. The district will continue to provide a choice in instructional models by offering independent study for grades 9-12 and homeschool for kindergarten through eighth grade. A virtual academy option is being explored, however, state legislators and other officials are still discussing what may or may not be allowed. This could affect the district’s ability to offer a virtual academy option. *The board approved the name of Katherine Johnson Middle School for the new middle school at Encina’s existing campus. Katherine Johnson was a mathematician for NASA and her math helped the U.S. land on the moon. This is the first school in San Juan Unified named after a woman and a person of color.
