I hope that the spring break went well for all of you. While the COVID-19 pandemic has been such a focus for everyone over the last two years, it is nice for me to think that a return to many of the pre-pandemic activities took place for everybody while our schools were closed.
This week of school finishes our first one with the new masking guidelines that are in place for safety against COVID-19. The movement from masks being required to strongly recommended allows for choice among all students and adults in school settings
All Snowline schools are in session today, Friday 3/4/22.
Today marks the end of the universal masking mandate in all California K-12 schools (see below). Amazingly, it has been two years since our schools were closed due to the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. As hard as this experience has been, it seems significant that we have reached this milestone. I am grateful to all of you who have supported our students and staff members throughout these challenging times. Working together made for better outcomes than we would have realized otherwise.
Snowline JUSD Parents & Guardians:
It is hard for me to believe that we are in March and nearing spring. Changes are ahead for COVID-19 and the weather. I appreciate the collective understanding
around the upcoming new conditions in our schools.
Governor Gavin Newsom announced the highlights of the updated California Department of Public Health (CDPH) guidance for schools in a press release today. After March 11, 2022, the universal masking requirement for K-12 schools will become strongly recommended and will no longer be mandated.
Snowline JUSD Parents & Guardians:
With forces such as the pandemic and weather producing challenges for everyone this week, it is nice to know that COVID-19 infection rates continue to decline. Doing our collective part with the implementation of the safety measures is most likely contributing to the progress being made. Thank you for doing so. Click the link for additional updates!
The messages for the coming week are as follows:
• Update on Mask Mandate – Governor Gavin Newsom and other state officials released their SMARTER plan today. It has been created to guide what requirements will be in place to address the next phases of COVID-19 in California.
