Weekly News & Announcements

Wellness Center

This week, we have a message from some students who were hanging out in wellness on an off period. We asked them what they think parents should know about this point in time. Here’s what they had to say: “The end of the year is always the hardest part. There’s something about the end being in sight yet you still have to keep running to get there even though you’re tired. Remind us to take breaks! When we’re not being positive, be positive for us (but without invalidating us.) Remind us that this is NOT a normal school year and it’s okay to feel out of place, weird, or uncomfortable.” We hope this is as helpful for you to hear as it was for us!

Legislative News

The May revisions to Governor Newsom’s proposed state budget were released this week. Given the much larger than expected tax revenues from 2020, the news is good for education. Among the highlights are proposals for universal transitional kindergarten, a significant bump in the cost-of-living adjustment for the Local Control Funding Formula, the elimination of deferrals (money owed to school districts by the state), additional funding for low-income districts to provide extended learning opportunities, contributions to the rainy day fund, and more funding to attract and train teachers.  

Questions? Email our APC Legislative Representative.

School Nurse

1.  Your student is exhibiting symptoms that fall within possible signs and symptoms of COVID (which is almost everything!).  
   • Without COVID testing, your student can return to school after 10 days and after the symptoms have been resolved for at least 24 hours (without fever-reducing medication).
   • With a negative COVID test result, your student can return to school after the symptoms have been resolved for at least 24 hours (without fever-reducing medication).
2. Your student has been exposed to someone who has tested positive for COVID.  In this case, your student must stay home for 10 days, even if without symptoms or even with a negative test result.
