“Please remember to send your child to school with a mask. If your child doesn’t have a mask, they are available in the nurse’s suite. Once the county has returned to ‘medium’ on the data tracker, the district will pivot back to ‘mask recommended.’ We are still offering Test to Stay and Mask to Stay for eligible students and staff,” Cheltenham Superintendent of Schools Dr. Brian Scriven said in a letter sent to parents.

Montgomery County’s community COVID-19 level is listed as high , according to the CDC.

This elite Bay Area private high school is going remote as COVID infections rise

May 19, 2022 by www.sfchronicle.com Leave a Comment

An elite private high school in Oakland will go remote for the last week of classes, a precaution to stave off rising COVID-19 infections among the student body, administrators said Thursday.

Beginning Thursday morning, teachers at The College Preparatory School held classes online, hoping that the school’s 372 students would return to campus for finals on May 27, followed by in-person events to celebrate graduation.

“We’re just trying to be prudent,” Sara Sackner, the school’s director of advancement, told the Chronicle. With cases rising in the Bay Area , fueled by new, infectious variants that relentlessly spawn every four to six months, Sackner and other staff saw an opportune moment to shut down and beat back the surge.

By the middle of May health officials were reporting 2,500 coronavirus cases a day across the Bay Area — an underestimate, some experts said, because people are testing themselves at home or not getting tested at all.

Sadly, Sackner said, online education “is a skill we have had to acquire.”

She noted that although classes have shifted to computer screens, the school’s campus remains open. Sackner and other faculty worked there on Thursday.

It wasn’t immediately clear whether College Preparatory School’s decision would be a bellweather for other districts. Spokespeople for Oakland and San Francisco Unified School Districts were not immediately available for comment Thursday afternoon.

No Extra Days To Be Added At End Of School Year After Sacramento Teacher Strike, District Says

May 19, 2022 by sacramento.cbslocal.com Leave a Comment

SACRAMENTO (CBS13) – No extra days are being added to the school year, the Sacramento City Unified School District announced on Thursday.

The decision comes after uncertainty over the eight days of instruction that were lost when teachers went on strike.

Sac City Unified says they were not able to reach an agreement with the teachers union over making up the lost days.

“After two years in which students missed significant classroom time due to COVID, we owe them more learning time, not less,” the district said in a statement.

CBS13 is reaching out to the Sacramento City Teachers’ Association for comment.

Instead of adding days at the end of the 2021-22 year, Sac City Unified says they’re now working on a plan to add a total of 16 days of instruction over the next two years.
