Good afternoon! Hopefully this finds you well. As we are quickly approaching the end of the year, it is time to provide you with some updates and encouragements. First and foremost, kudos to everyone for a job well done thus far! To be able to do what we have done is no small feat! Has it been perfect? No it has not, however, we all have done the best we can do with the cards we have been dealt. Monday, 4/29, our 3rd-8th grade students will begin their state testing. We sent out the schedule previously, but this is to encourage families to provide their student with a good nights rest the night(s) before and a high protein breakfast the morning of. And, as has been our mantra all year....have them do their best! Their best is good enough! Next week will be ELA and then we will move on to math. 5th and 8th grades will also be following a different schedule for their science tests. If you have questions, please contact your student's main office. 8th graduation/promotion. We are currently making plans for 8th grade promotion/graduation for the ceremony and then evaluating the feasibility of what type of celebration we may have. As you may (or may not know), not all 8th graders will go through the graduation ceremonies. We are assessing and evaluating student marks this year and will be in contact with those students/families that have not met the mark this year. We recognize that this year is extraordinary to say the least, but too, we also recognize that we must have a level of achievement to earn the right to go through the ceremony. We also recognize that there has been a certain level of learning loss this past year for ALL students. That being said, we are preparing for a longer Expanded Learning Opportunity this summer, as well as a August Bootcamp. As the plans are still evolving, we are looking at a program that will run from mid-June to mid-July, and students would attend for 4 days/week, 4 hours/day. The August Bootcamp would also be 4 days/week, 4 hours/day for only two weeks. Teachers are in the process of identifying which students should attend this great opportunity to close the learning gap. Soon, the district will be sending out a survey to get your input and suggestions on how to spend money we will receive from the state via the AB86 Funds, which is part of the COVID-19 relief package. A requirement of this is to get input from stakeholders, so please be on the lookout for that. If you have questions, concerns or comments, please feel free to email me at charris@yrekausd.net, or call the district office at 842-1168. Thank you and continue to work closely with your student. Committed To Excellence In Education, |
UPDATE: November 29th, 2020
Hopefully you are enjoying this time of Thanksgiving! Just a quick update and reminder. We are aware of the increase in positive cases in our county and continue to monitor the situation as it pertains to our district. At this time, we are not making any changes to our operations, and will welcome all in-person students back to campus on Monday, 11/30. However, if you have traveled out of the area or have had company from out of the area, we encourage you to use cautious judgment upon your return. For some, this may mean for you to self-quarantine for the first two weeks we return. This would be the safest means to NOT spread the virus from your potential exposure(s). If you choose this route, please communicate with your school office and our Health Services staff can provide you with guidance on this. If you have any questions, please contact Chris Harris at charris@yrekausd.net.
UPDATE: November 16th, 2020
Attached is a press release announcing Siskiyou County is moving to the Purple (most restrictive) Tier. We are continuing to monitor this situation, but for the time being, we will continue with our current operations. We are evaluating what, if any, adjustments we will make in the near future, as well as after vacation.
Please continue to practice safe guards such as social distancing, staying away from large groups, washing hands frequently and staying home when you feel ill. Once again, the goal is to stop the spread, so please do your part by doing so.
If you have questions, please contact your school office or Chris Harris directly at charris@yrekausd.net. Thank you.
