Good Afternoon Belmont-Redwood Shores Community,
I hope this message finds your family well. In this update is information on the following:
- 100% Full Distance Learning Start
- Town Hall Meetings
100% Full Distance Learning Start
As shared in an earlier communication this week, San Mateo County has qualified for the state Watch List . Re-opening in a hybrid model will not be possible. Accordingly, we will alter course and will implement a full distance learning plan for all students. Please see BRSSD’s School Reopening 2020 plan pages 27-34 noting that the schedules provided are drafts.
We have received questions about the survey that families were asked to update. With the transition to full distance learning, survey data will not be utilized for scheduling. As conditions change and we are able to consider an in-person option, we will ask again for family preference.
Town Hall Meetings
School principals will be hosting a series of Town Hall meetings. The Town Hall meetings will give the community an opportunity to learn about our reopening. There will be a 30 minute presentation by staff and a 30 minute Q&A for the community to ask questions. Town Hall meetings will be recorded and posted to the website within 24 hours of the meeting.
The meetings will be held via Zoom on the following dates:

August 5 - 5:00 - 6:00 pm
