“Totals this week have ranged from 500 to 950 students on campus each day,” explained Carol Osborne, Associate Superintendent of Learning Support Services.
Osborne said Middle schools will follow suit beginning April 19 and will have an additional lunch period added to the schedule to guarantee physical distance between students.
“We will be recommending that our elementary schools will move to a four and 10-minute day,” said Osborne, adding elementary AM/PM cohorts will be combined since the CDC and CDPH now recommend three feet distance between students instead of six.
Some parents who participated in public comment were encouraged by the news while also disappointed the expansion wasn’t implemented sooner.
She spent Wednesday morning supervising the placement of markers on the ground and poles to make sure students and staff keep safely apart. Most of the week was geared towards preparing the staff for what CVESD expected from them keeping their children safe on campus.
“There has been a huge amount of training,” said Allan. “We’ve provided professional development online, videos.”
“Our administrators and our district have given us a few in-services on the precautions we need to take,” said Hernandez. “And precautions that the children need to take.”
“We’ve been doing trainings on how and what to do,” added Castruita. “These are our guidelines: Step one. Step two.”
