SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO PARKS & RECREATION

Facility and Program Closures/ Cancellation/ Postponements Extended through June 14

Dear Community Members:
The Parks and Recreation Department continues to monitor the San Mateo County Health orders and observe guidance from other public health agencies as we consider a plan for how and when to re-open facilities and resume programs when it is permitted and safe for participants and staff to do so. Even after the shelter in place order is lifted, we expect that operational restrictions will still apply. In addition, City staff will need time to prepare public areas and programs to meet the health orders and best practices that are in place at the time of re-opening.
Taking into consideration the San Mateo County Health orders, and necessary planning and preparation in order to open City facilities and programs, we are extending our schedule of changes, cancellations, and postponements to the City of South San Francisco Parks and Recreation Department’s facilities, programs, and events through
Sunday, June 14, 2020
.
We look forward to the day when we can welcome you back into our facilities and programs. THANK YOU for your patience and support.

Childcare Program Update
When will preschool and summer camp open?
We are excited to announce that we are working towards opening our preschool and summer camp programs in mid to late June, and are in the process of developing a program that ensures the safety of our staff and children. As a result of the extensive planning and preparations that need to take place, we are formally cancelling preschool and summer camp programs from June 1 – 12, which are the first two weeks of June. Full refunds will be given to families affected by this cancellation.
- If you are already registered in preschool or summer camp, more information will be coming out soon about how to confirm your continued participation in our program.
- Families who are currently on the waiting list for preschool or summer camp will maintain their spot on the waiting list and will be contacted as spaces are available.
- Families who are new to the program can only register for the waiting list.
We continue to monitor public health and licensing guidelines as they change and regularly adapt our program to meet these guidelines. If you have any questions, please contact Laura Armanino, Childcare Program Supervisor, at
laura.armanino@ssf.net
or (650) 875-6951.

The South San Francisco Community Volunteer Corps is a City-led initiative with partnerships with the City’s core service agency, service clubs, schools, and faith-based organizations to solicit and train volunteers in providing essential services, supporting the South San Francisco population who are medically disabled, older adults, homebound, caregivers, and financially disadvantaged, during the State of Emergency and government mandates to shelter in place to prevent the spread of COVID-19.

The County of San Mateo has worked with the Silicon Valley Community Foundation to create a San Mateo County-specific fund named the
San Mateo County Strong Fund
. The San Mateo County Board of Supervisors approved an initial $3 million in Measure K funds to launch the
San Mateo County Strong Fund
. The purpose of this fund will be to address the swift and unexpected impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic at a very local level by helping the following most-impacted groups.
We are asking folks who are able to do so,
please make a tax-deductible donation today at
www.SMCStrong.org
to support individuals and families, non-profits serving our most vulnerable residents, small business owners, and self-employed residents hit hardest by California’s state-wide COVID-19
Shelter in Place
order.
ALL
money donated will stay inside San Mateo County and not one penny will go elsewhere, so you can have confidence that you are helping your neighbors and the local small business and self-employed people in your community. In challenging times like this, it’s more important than ever that we all pull together in San Mateo County.
