I would like to invite you to join me for coffee and conversation at various times throughout the year. The purpose of these meetings is to connect and communicate with you on a face-to-face basis. Please bring your questions and ideas. I look forward to seeing you at our first Coffee Chat on Thursday, September 14, 8:30 in the library.

As parents we all have deeply rooted hopes and dreams for our children, and know that education plays a crucial role in our children developing to their full potential. But did you know that missing two days of school per month can cause your child to fall behind — even as early as in pre-school? It can make it harder for your child to learn to read and to master basic math skills. In fact, missing 2 days of school per month adds up to missing 10% of the school year. This is called chronic absenteeism and includes both excused and unexcused absences.  Read more and access resources at https://attendance.santacruzcoe.org/.

On Monday, April 10, President Biden signed legislation immediately ending the national COVID-19 emergency. The end of this emergency declaration brings with it important changes that may impact COVID-19 billing and testing,
including from tests conducted at the School Community Testing sites operated by Inspire Diagnostics.

For our community members unable to attend this morning's Superintendent-Principal Coffee Chat, the slides are attached.

The COVID-19 State of Emergency declared in California is set to end on February 28, 2023, marking a milestone moment in the response to the pandemic and the start of a new phase for our schools and community.

In alignment with this shift, the Santa Cruz County school districts and the County Office of Education will be phasing out the school-based COVID-19 surveillance testing program . This opt-in testing program will be discontinued effective March 1, 2023 . Please note that this change does not impact the School Community Testing program, which will remain available at five sites throughout the county at no out-of-pocket cost.

After March 1, families will be able to use over the counter (OTC) home-based antigen tests to satisfy the testing requirements.

Fentanyl continues to pose a threat to our school community due to the high risk of accidental overdose. The California Department of Public Health is now warning of a new trend of brightly-colored fentanyl, referred to as rainbow fentanyl.
