Dear Blossom Hill Families,
Together, we successfully made it to the last day of March! April is sure to be a busy month in LGUSD. As you know from Superintendent Johnson’s recent email, we remain laser focused on supporting students and adhering to the following:
- Minimizing the number of changes and disruptions in schedules.
- Increasing the amount of in-person instruction across the district through a number of strategies, including the possibility of combining cohorts.
Keeping our students engaged and connected to school, classmates, and teachers is our priority. There is a special board meeting tomorrow, Thursday, April 1 at 4:00 p.m. An update to the community will be provided on Friday via email along with OnRamp #2 information. Please continue to read all email correspondence carefully as our timelines are important.
With Spring Break next week, may you enjoy this gorgeous California weather safely with your family. I look forward to school resuming on Monday, April 12.

Today Blossom Hill students were treated to a Virtual Author's Fair with Eric Kimmel. Mr. Kimmel read some of his fantastic stories, including Anansi and the Moss Covered Rock and Why Worry? and gave insight into how the stories developed and changed into their final form. Mr. Kimmel entertained our students with his charm and expertise, spending extra time to answer many wonderful questions from our students. Great gratitude to Francine Shore and Amy Grespan for arranging for Eric Kimmel to visit us during library time today. If anyone didn't get their questions for Mr. Kimmel answered, please email your questions to Mrs. Grespan at [email protected].
