San Ramon Covid Safety for Schools-Explained

Before the county was sent back to the purple tier of the state's reopening plan, this plan to allow small groups of children who require additional attention back for in-person learning was in effect. Administrators of the San Ramon Valley wanted to keep going forward, while counties in the purple tier are not supposed to admit any more children on campus. Parents and administrators believe English students, special education or intervention are the students permitted to return, meaning they are suffering, not prospering.

This proposal to allow small groups of children who need extra attention back for in-person learning was in place until the county was sent back to the purple tier of the state's re-opening plan. San Ramon Valley administrators decided to try to move forward, although counties in the purple tier are not supposed to admit any more kids on campus. Parents and administrators assume that the students required to return are English students, special education or interference, implying that they struggle, not prosper.

Their Board of Education approved the staff recommendation this week to implement the next phase of our reopening plan, with the expectation that our COVID-19 Safety Plan will be approved and that our new Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with our bargaining units will be completed.

Classes on elementary and special days. If, for a minimum of five days in a row, Contra Costa County hits case rates below 25 per 100,000 population, SRVUSD will welcome back these groups for hybrid instruction in a phased model over seven days:

• Students from preschool-5th grade
• Preschool-adult transition Special Day schools, in their cohorts
• Families wanting to stay away will continue to do so.

Important COVID-19 Safety reminders:

1. Wash your hands. To kill the covid-19 virus, wash your hands regularly with soap and water for at least 20 seconds. With a minimum of 60 percent alcohol, you can even use hand sanitizer.
    
2. Wear masks. Cover your face with both your mouth and nose, but allow for uncontrolled breathing. Multiple layers of fabric or cloth are included and ties or ear loops are secure. Avoid rubbing the eyes, nose and mouth while removing a fabric facial covering. Immediately wash your hands after removing them. If possible, wash facial coverings every day they are worn.
    
3. Maintain social distancing. Try to remain apart from others for 6 feet. They must stay home and away from others if a family member is infected with covid-19, even if they do not have symptoms. They have to go to the doctor if they are really sick. Your sick family member routinely cleanses and disinfects surfaces and items and opens windows to provide airflow in your house.
    
4. Clean surfaces and objects. All surfaces which are often touched are washed and disinfected, such as counters, tabletops, door knobs, keyboards and bedside tables. According to the package directions, use soap and water and household cleaning sprays and wipes.
