In February, 2020, pre Covid-19, it would have been hard to imagine the shifts that our community would be forced to make. Together we’ve tackled many challenges and rallied in ways to protect our health and safety. In a few short weeks, we will tackle the next challenge of returning our students safely to school. District leadership and our Board of Trustees are working diligently to balance all of the elements, concerns, and challenges that come with safely reopening school in January. To ensure that we are making the best decisions for our students and families, we developed our five core principles based upon feedback from our community and stakeholders. Our full plan can be found here, but this website is designed to provide you all the details included in the plan in a more user-friendly format.

The Health and safety of our community is our top priority. The District will promote the safety of students and staff by setting clear protocols and building routines that promote a healthy learning and work environment. We will follow guidance from the San Mateo Department of Public Health and CDC
We will communicate clearly and regularly with all our stakeholders, doing our best to provide information and manage expectations of teachers, staff, families, and community members.
We will deliver our high-quality, balanced instructional program that meets the diverse educational and social-emotional needs of all students. We will provide necessary support and accommodations for vulnerable groups and those who face challenges learning online. We will support staff in making these transitions and will follow guidance from the San Mateo County Office of Education.
We will provide consistency in instructional schedules whether in person or remote. We will develop instructional models that will be in place for the duration of the school year and provide the flexibility to make adjustments in the delivery of instruction to students as local, state, and federal mandates and guidelines shift. We will support staff in making these transitions and will follow guidance from the California Department of Education.
We acknowledge the professional expertise of our educators to meet the diverse needs of our students while sustaining effective learning environments. Reciprocal accountability implies that accountability is shared and that leaders are responsible for providing support to achieve our District goals. Candid and constructive conversations among all educators will serve to enhance teaching and learning.
