To Staff and the Twin Rivers School Community,

As counties throughout the state continue to progress toward more in-person operations, I am sure that you, like me, follow the news closely with a key question in mind, “When may we return to in-person instruction?” 

I suppose the question is not simply when “may” we return, which would be answered by the health statistics and county conditions. The more important and nuanced question is when “should” we return, given that we have stated from the outset that our highest and unshakeable priority is the health and well-being of our employees and students.

This question will be answered by the Twin Rivers Unified Board of Trustees. Our Board will study the facts and consider the health rating in our county, with deep consideration for the areas of our county that have been more impacted by COVID-19. They will thoughtfully consider the opinions of students, families and our employees, and our proper implementation of public health guidelines.
