To Staff and the Twin Rivers School Community,

The uncertainty of the COVID-19 virus continues to have a profound impact on all of us. While we remain steadfast in our commitment to return students and staff for in-person instruction, we must delay our Jan. 19 scheduled return given the most recent Sacramento County Public Health stay-at-home order due to surging COVID-19 cases. However, special education and English Learner in-person assessments and small group cohorts will be allowed to continue following state and county health guidelines.  

Under current public health guidelines, schools may not reopen if their county has not been out of the purple tier (the most widespread COIVD-19 tier) and in the red or lower tiers for at least two weeks. Sacramento County is in the purple tier. This makes it difficult to identify a new date when our schools will be allowed to transition to in-person learning. So for now, classes will continue in the distance learning format. We will continue to monitor the county’s health status and also review Governor Newsom’s new Safe Schools for All plan.
