If families have  a chromebooks that was checked out in the Spring, there is no need to check out a new one, you will be able to continue to use this device for virtual learning this school year. Secondly, tomorrow we will be sending  digital copies of the Chromebook Handbook & Parent/ Student Use Agreements for your review. Please be on the lookout for these documents and review them prior to the checkout on Friday.Lastly, I’d like to ask that families hold tight with program/placement requests. With new information changing rapidly and limited space with meeting the needs of all students & families, it’s challenging to keep up with these emails. I respectfully ask that we hold on any requests until we begin our in-person program. We thank you in advance for your support.Thank you for listening and have a great evening!

School Reopening Plan for Learning, Health and Safety

Introduction On Friday, July 17, Governor Newsom announced clear mandates for how and when California schools can physically reopen. Schools can reopen if the county they are located in is removed from the state’s COVID-19 monitoring list for 14 consecutive days. At this time, San Diego County has been placed on the state monitoring list due to rising cases since early July. As such, the San Diego County Department of Public Health’s latest public health order does not allow for the physical reopening of schools.   Poway Unified School District (PUSD) continues to monitor local public health conditions to ensure our reopening plans are in alignment with county, state, and federal guidelines and recommendations. This plan ensures PUSD is on track to reopen our schools for in-person learning as soon as possible pending health orders.   The following plan:Complies with the measures described in the COVID-19 Industry Guidance: Schools and School-Based Programs issued by the California Department of Public Health (CDPH)Incorporates where feasible the guidelines provided in Stronger Together: A Guidebook for the Safe Reopening of California’s Public Schools issued by the California Department of Education (CDE)Will be completed and posted, detailing the actions the school is taking to comply with the CDPH Industry Guidance measures after considering the CDE Guidelines Valley Elementary School Reopening Plan for Learning, Health, and SafetyValley Elementary School Reopening Plan for Learning, Health, and Safety- SPANISH
