Say Thanks to School Employees.

Ventura County education employees are going above and beyond to keep schools operating during the pandemic. And "thank you" is something they don't hear often enough.

That's why Ventura County Superintendent of Schools, Dr. César Morales, is encouraging everyone in the community to send a message of thanks to a school employee and email it to news@vcoe.org. We'll highlight some of the messages on our website and social media. So please take a minute to write a note to that special someone who's making a difference for kids.

Important COVID-19 Message from Superintendent Schieferle [English/Spanish]

Good evening, Families,

With the surge of COVID-19 cases, we are asking families to please keep their child home from school, sports, and activities if your child is experiencing any COVID-19 symptoms.

This week, at home tests were made available for you to use if your child has been exposed or is experiencing any symptoms.

If you child tests positive, please do not send your child back to school until they are cleared by the health office or the District Health Team. Students who test positive will be out of school a minimum of five days and all absences will be excused. Families should reach out to their child’s teachers through email, Class Dojo or Teams. We want to assure you that we are working diligently to keep your child safe.

Thank you,
Christine Schieferle
Superintendent
Fillmore Unified School District

Buenas Tardes Familias,

Con el aumento de los casos de COVID-19, les pedimos a las familias que mantengan a su hijo/a en casa sin asistir a la escuela, los deportes y las actividades si su hijo/a presenta algún síntoma de COVID-19.

Se enviaron pruebas de COVID-19 en el hogar esta semana para que usted las use si su hijo ha estado expuesto o tiene algún síntoma.

Si su hijo obtiene una prueba de COVID-19 positive, por favor no mande a su hijo/a a la escuela hasta que la oficina de salud del distrito le den la autorización a regresar a la escuela. Van a faltar a lo mínimo cinco días de escuela y las ausencias serán justificadas. Las familias pueden comunicarse con los maestros por correo electrónico, Teams o Class Dojo. Queremos asegurarle que estamos trabajando para mantener la seguridad de salud de su hijo/a.

VCOE: Schools to Prioritize Safety Upon Return from Winter Break

Distance Learning Not Currently Permitted by State

As Ventura County students prepare to return from winter break amid increasing COVID-19 cases in the community, local school leaders are taking all possible steps to ensure the safety of students and employees.

While some colleges and universities have announced plans to revert to distance learning temporarily, this is not an option for Pre-K-12 schools. The State of California does not currently permit Pre-K-12 schools to offer distance learning and expects all schools to keep their doors open for in-person instruction. Schools do provide an independent study option that allows students to learn from home. But unlike distance learning, it must be requested individually by families and is not intended to serve large numbers of students.

“The Ventura County Office of Education is continuing to work closely with Ventura County Public Health and our local school districts to ensure the safety of students and staff,” said Dr. César Morales, Ventura County Superintendent of Schools. “A major effort is underway to expand optional COVID-19 testing for students so we can reduce the chances of the virus spreading at school. Many school districts have been working diligently during the winter break to distribute home test kits to families, and we expect a greater supply of kits to be available soon.” Free testing is also available at locations throughout Ventura County: https://www.venturacountyrecovers.org/coronavirus-testing

In addition to expanded testing, local schools are taking a variety of other safety measures. These include enhanced ventilation, mandatory indoor masking, and teaching outside when possible. Ventura County’s increasing vaccination rate and the high percentage of school employees who have been fully vaccinated provide another layer of protection.

Families can help by ensuring that their students are vaccinated, testing children for COVID-19 if they may have been exposed or are presenting symptoms, and keeping them home when they are ill. The COVID-19 vaccine has been proven safe and effective and is currently available at no charge for children five and older. The COVID-19 booster is now available for everyone 16 years old or older and may be approved for younger kids in the near future. Information about where to get vaccinated in Ventura County is available at https://www.venturacountyrecovers.org/vaccine-information.
