The 2021-22 school year certainly provided us all with the challenges of supporting our students, children, and each other through the ups and downs resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic. As the 2021-22 school year began, we were excited to welcome back our staff, students, and families to in-person learning after a year of mostly remote, virtual learning. Though the mitigation strategies related to COVID-19 challenged us at times, we were successful at limiting the spread of COVID-19 on our campuses and made continual adjustments based on guidelines from the California Department of Public Health. I truly appreciate everyone’s patience, input, and flexibility as we worked to provide the best possible education to our students under very difficult circumstances.

Most of our students are looking forward to a well-deserved summer break, while approximately 600 students have decided to take advantage of our summer school and extended learning opportunities. In either case, the well-being of our students is essential as we continue our journey toward a more “normal” 2022-23 school year. Providing opportunities for children to thrive in a nurturing, structured environment with positive peer relationships will strengthen their social-emotional and physical well-being and prepare them for a successful start to the school year in the fall. 

Lastly, the year would not have been successful without the support of our classified, certificated, and administrative staff. I want to take this opportunity to personally thank them for their support of our students, families, and each other under very challenging circumstances and I would encourage you to drop a note of appreciation to those you feel have had a positive impact on your child this past year. 

Have a great summer and we look forward to seeing you for the start of school on August 11, 2022.

Mr. Trevor J. Painton
