Dear Sea King Families,
Happy New Year! I hope you enjoyed a restful winter break and a joyous holiday season. As we return to school tomorrow, the health and safety of our students and staff remain our highest priority. It is critical that we are all working together to minimize the Covid transmission in our school community and keep our students learning in person. As such, the following safety measures have been established for our students and staff.
We have encouraged all students and staff to take a Covid test this weekend prior to their return to school. If your student tests positive for Covid, please continue to report those outcomes to both me and Dr. Hartage via email so that we can assist in the appropriate next steps.
Masking will be required at all times while on campus, both indoors and outdoors. Upgrading your student’s mask is an important recommended step. A close-fitting cloth mask can be worn on top of a surgical/disposable mask to improve the seal of the mask to the face. Masks will continue to be available in the offices and at entry points of campus should a student need one. Please remind your students that it is important that their masks are worn properly covering the nose and mouth.
Our practice of the daily health screening remains in place and all students will need to show their green screen when entering campus. The link to the daily health screener is provided here for your reference. (https://pvpusdscreener.azurewebsites.net/)
I know there are many times we send our students to school with a slight cold or feeling a little under the weather. Please keep your students at home if they are not feeling well and experiencing cold or flu-like symptoms. Remember to contact the attendance office to report any absences. We will work with each of you to support your students' continued learning while they are out of school due to illness.
I want to thank you in advance for your support in implementing these measures so we may continue to provide students with the optimal in-person learning experience. In working together through these challenging times, we will grow stronger as a collective Sea King community.
I am proud to serve as your principal and wish each of you a safe, healthy, and happy 2022.
Sincerely,
Dr. Trista Ramirez
PVHS Principal (Interim)

South Bay Families Connected: Focus on youth wellness
Finally, after a full year of distance learning, some students have, understandably, experienced the return to in-person learning as a social challenge. PVPUSD partner South Bay Families Connected (SBFC), a network of 115 schools in the South Bay, has organized Teaching Social Skills: Resources for Parents and Guardians, which contains a video featuring students at local schools, including PVPUSD’s own Rhys Moon, sharing their perspectives regarding the social ups and downs of returning to in-person learning. There you will also find some useful tips to support your children and teens as they develop and refine their own social skills. For related resources, please visit the SBFC Healthy Relationships Page. The SBFC Virtual Teen Center contains a wide variety of mental health and wellness topics. To see more youth wellness resources provided by PVPUSD and SBFC, please visit our own PVPUSD Families Connected.
