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 Dates/Times/Locations
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

English/Spanish Coronavirus/COVID-19 update and impact on our schools
Energy Types
Mr. Criag’s 4/5 Combo is learning about different types of energy, specifically renewable and non-renewable energy. In this experiment, students received a mini solar panel cell, negative and positive connecting cables, a motor, and a propeller. Students had to determine how best to harness the Sun's rays to make the propeller in the most efficient manner. Students worked in teams to make predictions, record their results, and make a diagram of their findings.
Subsequently, this led into a project where students are designing their own ad campaign for a specific renewable energy. In this campaign, students are making poster to persuade others on why we should use this specific type of energy. The project will culminate with a 30 second PSA commercial created by the students.
These experiments and projects go hand-in-hand with our Stemscopes unit on Renewable and Non-Renewable Energy.
Amazing Writers
We are very impressed with these two amazing writers Moises Aguilar and Zoe Villasenor. They shared their writing/posters on Abe Lincoln and Harriet Tubman. High fives to Mr. Miech, Mrs. Overton and amazing volunteer teacher Mrs. Lee for instilling a love for reading and writing in these two scholars and as well as the countless other students whom they support! It takes a village and San Cayetano is getting it done!
