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 Westview High School Reopening Plan for Learning, Health, and Safety
Congratulations Class of 2020!
Westview is extremely proud of the perseverance, creativity and positive spirit of your class! While it has been a couple of weeks since your last days as Wolverines, the celebration continues. We have a gift to share with you. Please check out our Graduation 2020 Commemorative Video: A Graduation Like No Other! You can enjoy hearing from your senior class speakers and performers. Included in the video are words of wisdom from administration, community members, and teachers. Although it is a rather large file, it is downloadable. This video is not to take the place of any potential ceremony at the end of July; rather stands as a memory video of this unprecedented time. Thank you to Westview Broadcast Journalism/ News Cast teacher, Rob Casas for creating this video.
Thank you for completing the Graduation Ceremony survey that will be sent to your email on Tuesday, June 30th.
