I want to thank you for the kindness and flexibility you demonstrated this week as additional students/classes transitioned to remote learning due to COVID. I know that finding childcare with short notice and supporting your child at home is extremely challenging. Your continued partnership is recognized and greatly appreciated.
As you are aware, all families will receive information regarding positive cases at Gold Rush. If your child is in close contact with someone who tested positive, your family will receive an additional District email stating your child needs to quarantine for 14 days.
Students who have not had direct contact with a positive case, but whose learning is impacted will also receive a second email from the District stating your child will learn remotely. This can be due to a lack of available substitutes. Students who are learning remotely due to a substitute shortage do not need to limit activity within the community. The District's impact letters will specify if your child is quarantined or if he/she is learning remotely. Please see samples of both District letters below.
As mentioned previously, the District impact letters do not clearly specify which Gold Rush student is impacted. Please know that the school will send you a follow up email identifying your child's grade level. Siblings are able to continue to attend school if they remain symptom free.
Please see prior communication and additional resources below. We all want our students at school and we appreciate your continued commitment to keep our community healthy.
