Announcement Regarding Recognition for the Class of 2020 (English/Spanish)

May 12, 2020

The purpose of this message is to inform you of current actions to ensure that we recognize and celebrate the graduating seniors of Fillmore High School, Sierra High School, and Heritage Valley Independent Study.

The Fillmore Unified School District Governing Board is committed to supporting an in-person graduation ceremony for our graduating seniors once we have received authorization from public health officials to hold gatherings. We do not have any information as to when the public health orders will change and will inform the community once an update has been received.

However, I am pleased to share with our district community that our district and high school leadership have identified a unique way of recognizing our graduating seniors while also adhering to the current recommendations from public health. A vehicle procession will take place in the coming weeks to provide an opportunity for our faculty and staff to recognize the Class of 2020. Principals John Wilber and Pablo Leanos will be providing information to our graduating seniors and their families about the procession. The procession will not be open to the public and staff are researching the ability to provide a live stream of the event.

We know that these are extraordinarily challenging times for all of us and hope that you and your loved ones are safe. Thank you for your continued support.

Fillmore Unified School Bus Drivers Miss Their Students

IMG_66901.jpg

Our lives have been turned upside down yet we are hopeful to get back in that drivers seat and be with our students. We long for the “How was your day?”, “Can I open a window?”, “Wanna buy a raffle ticket?”, “I have a game tonight, can you come watch me play?” The smiles, the sweaty faces of the 6th period PE students racing to be one of the first students on the bus, the art work for moms, the “I got an A on my project.”, the high fives. Life is not the same and may never get back to “normal”, yet we are hopeful. We miss our students immensely and look forward to being able to see them again. Fillmore Unified School Bus Drivers miss our Students and hope you all are doing well. ❤️🚌

Distance Learning Opportunities

index.jpg

Dear Fillmore High School Students and Families,

We understand that these are very trying times, and we hope that everyone is doing as well as can be expected under the circumstances. The past few days Fillmore High School teachers and staff have been working to prepare distance learning opportunities for all Fillmore High School students. The purpose of these assignments is for students to review and/or practice previous learning. Although this work will not be submitted at this time, students are encouraged to hold onto all completed work until further notice. Although this work will not be graded, it is important that students complete as much work as possible to prepare for our hopeful return to school on May 4th.

There are two ways to access distance learning opportunities. 1. Access through the Fillmore High School website. Simply go to the Fillmore High School website and then go to the “Distance Learning Opportunities” tab. Or use this link: Distance Learning. Once inside the distance learning tab, you will find the activities for each class that you have. We encourage students to access this method if possible. 2. For students unable to access “Distance Learning Opportunities” online: you may come to the front of Fillmore High School Tuesday and Wednesday from 9:00 am – 12:00 p.m. and from 1:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. to pick up hard copies of the work.

We will be enforcing strict social distancing protocols for students who come to pick up work, and students will not be allowed on campus; all pickups will be in the front of the school. If you or anyone in your family is ill, please do not come on site. Your health and the health of others is our priority.

Attention AP Students- please check your email and contact your AP Teachers by email.

Again, we understand that these are very trying times and we hope that everyone is healthy and safe.
Sincerely,

John Wilber
Principal, Fillmore High school

All Fillmore Unified School District Schools & Offices CLOSED through Friday, May, 1st 2020

March 18, 2020

Fillmore USD Families

The purpose of this message is to provide Fillmore Unified School District families with an update for March 18, 2020 regarding district actions to address COVID-19.

Today our Board of Trustees directed the closure of all Fillmore Unified schools and offices through Friday, May 1, 2020. All district and school events, meetings, activities, athletic practices, and athletic competitions have been cancelled thru May 1, 2020.

This closure is in support of the recommendations from public health officials to encourage “social distancing” to slow the spread of the virus. It is strongly recommended that individuals stay home during the closure as much as possible, and do not gather in public places.

A decision to reopen schools will be made in close consultation with the State of California, Ventura County Public Health, and the Ventura County Office of Education. We hope to reopen on Monday, May 4, 2020, but that decision will depend on the circumstances at the time. District families will be provided with notice prior to May 4, 2020.

We are aware that this closure has resulted in a loss of time spent learning in the classroom and are working to create educational opportunities for students while schools are closed. It is our intent to provide an update to families during the week of March 23rd regarding the district approach to distance learning.

We understand that school closures have significant impacts on our students and families, and we hope to resume normal operations in the future. Thank you for your understanding during this challenging time.

Respectfully,
Adrian E. Palazuelos, Ph.D.
Superintendent
Fillmore Unified School District
