We are still reviewing this new information and evaluating what it will mean for our district; however, we wanted to provide you with an update on what we do know at this time.
First, to clear up any confusion about Q2: all students will begin quarter 2 in Comprehensive Distance Learning (CDL). There are a very small number of students who will begin accessing limited in-person instruction opportunities in Q2 to support a language or learning need, and staff have already communicated with those families.
Starting Nov. 9 at the high school level, we are allowing a modified reopening of the outdoor spaces on our campuses for limited activities by athletic and activity groups. This reopening will meet all required and recommended criteria that have been set forth by ODE, OHA, the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), and Governor Brown’s orders. In addition, HSD will take all precautions and safety measures and endeavor to go above and beyond to ensure our students’ wellbeing. Students who would like to participate are encouraged to sign up on their school’s Family ID site (CHS, GHS, HHS, LHS) to indicate their interest, so that coaches and advisors can connect with them to share additional information. Please note that our campuses will remain closed to the public, including playing fields and playgrounds, until further notice.
Our goal, of course, is to get students back into our buildings for in-person learning as soon as it is safe to do so. We anticipate there being a more attainable path to that return in these new metrics and guidelines, especially for our youngest learners and students who are at-risk under the current model.
