Good afternoon Sierra and Heritage Valley Families.

Good afternoon Sierra and Heritage Valley Families. Earlier today the Fillmore High School students were evacuated to the fields next to our campus out of an abundance of caution. Our students at Sierra and Heritage Valley rose to the occasion of remaining calm and following our directions at all times. We are very proud of our students for maintaining their maturity at this time, so that we could support our sister school. Our school day was able to continue as normal with no issues as our site was deemed safe. Please thank your student here for being responsible and respectful. We appreciate it.

A message from Superintendent Schieferle [ENGLISH/SPANISH]

March 11, 2022 

Dear FUSD Families,

I would like to thank you for your continued support and patience as we continue to adapt to state and local public health mandates. Together, we have prioritized student and staff safety while continuing to provide the best educational experiences for our students. The purpose of this letter is to provide updated information regarding the Mask Mandate for FUSD students and staff beginning March 14, 2022.

In alignment with Ventura County Public Health (VCPH) and the Executive Order issued by Governor Newsom, beginning March 14th, FUSD students and staff will no longer be required to wear masks indoors and on school busses regardless of their vaccination status. We will continue to strongly recommend indoor masking; however, students and staff will have the personal choice to wear a mask or not wear a mask. I understand that the anticipation of these changes will be a relief to some and a source of anxiety for others. We will continue to support both students and staff in making the individual decisions on whether to wear masks.

Responsibility for COVID Safety/Continuing Mitigation

  • Students and staff prescreen and stay home when sick

  • Surgical and N95 masks for students upon request in every school office

  • Continued group contact tracing and notifications

  • Frequent use of handwashing and sanitizing

  • Enhanced classroom cleaning of high-touch areas daily

  • Improved ventilation

  • Expanded testing opportunities at our elementary school sites and at the FHS stadium

  • VCPH pediatric vaccination clinics for families who wish to have their children vaccinated

FUSD will remain prepared to adjust with conditions of the virus and to all updated public health mandates

Respecting Personal Choice

  • The state is providing personal choice for masking in schools with the expectation that individual choices are respected.

  • One should not make assumptions regarding someone’s beliefs or health status based upon their choice to wear or not wear a mask, nor should they comment on them.

  • If your child expresses any anxiety, please reach out to our school counselors for support

We look forward to this next phase and are very excited to see smiling faces and to take another step towards returning to normal operations and bringing back the activities we have all missed.

Sincerely,
Christine Schieferle
Superintendent, Fillmore Unified School District

11 de marzo de 2022 

Estimadas familias FUSD, 

Me gustaría agradecerles por su continuo apoyo y paciencia a medida que continuamos adaptándonos a los mandatos de salud pública estatales y locales.  Juntos, hemos priorizado la seguridad de los estudiantes y el personal mientras continuamos brindando las mejores experiencias educativas para nuestros estudiantes. El propósito de esta carta es proporcionar información actualizada sobre el Mandato de Máscara para los estudiantes y el personal de FUSD a partir del 14 de marzo de 2022.

 

En alineación con la Salud Pública del Condado de Ventura (VCPH) y la Orden Ejecutiva emitida por el Gobernador Newsom, a partir del 14 de marzo, los estudiantes y el personal de FUSD ya no estarán obligados a usar máscaras adentro ni en autobuses escolares, a pesar de su estado de vacunación.  Continuaremos recomendando que se pongan la máscara adentro; sin embargo, los estudiantes y el personal tendrán la opción personal de usar una máscara o no usar una máscara.  Entiendo que la anticipación de estos cambios será un alivio para algunos y una fuente de ansiedad para otros. Continuaremos apoyando tanto a los estudiantes como al personal en la toma de decisiones individuales sobre si usar máscaras.

Responsabilidad por la seguridad de COVID / Mitigación continua

  • Se espera que los estudiantes y el personal se autoevalúen y se queden en casa cuando estén enfermos.

  • Las máscaras quirúrgicas y N95 están disponibles para los estudiantes a pedido en todas las oficinas de la escuela

  • Seguimiento continuo de contactos grupales y notificaciones

  • Uso frecuente de lavado de manos y desinfección

  • Limpieza adicional en el salón de áreas de alto contacto diariamente

  • Ventilación mejorada

  • Mas oportunidades de pruebas en nuestros sitios de escuelas primarias y en el estadio FHS

  • Clínicas de vacunación pediátrica del VCPH para familias que desean vacunar a sus hijos

·         FUSD permanecerá preparado para ajustarse a las condiciones del virus y a todos los mandatos actualizados de salud pública.

Respetar la elección personal

  • El estado está proporcionando opciones personales para el enmascaramiento en las escuelas con la expectativa de que se respeten las elecciones individuales.

  • Uno no debe hacer suposiciones con respecto a las creencias o el estado de salud de alguien basado en su elección de usar o no usar una máscara, ni deben comentar sobre ellos.

  • Si su hijo expresa alguna ansiedad, comuníquese con nuestros consejeros escolares para obtener apoyo.

Esperamos esta próxima fase y estamos muy emocionados de ver caras sonrientes y dar otro paso hacia el regreso a las operaciones normales y traer de vuelta las actividades que todos nos hemos perdido.

Sinceramente
Christine Schieferle
Superintendent, Fillmore Unified School District
