Hello MBUSD Community,
I hope you are all enjoying your spring break. I am writing just to let you know of a key change from our County Health Department that may impact those of you who have travelled out of state.
Changes to Travel Advisory
While travel outside of California is still discouraged, there are new regulations regarding the self-quarantining required after out-of-state travel.
- The basic 10-day requirement still applies to most people.
-
Californians can shorten the 10-day requirement by getting a molecular COVID (PCR) test 3-5 days after returning from out of state travel. If the test is negative, the self-quarantine period is reduced to seven days.
-
For Californians who are fully vaccinated (14 days have passed since their 2nd shot for Pfizer/Moderna, or their single Johnson and Johnson shot) before they leave the state, there is no required self-quarantine upon returning to CA.
Preparations for 5 Days a Week of In-Person Learning Beginning April 19
I will provide more details in my Monday message, but our M&O department has been busy all week preparing our classrooms for 5-days-a-week learning. This involves adding desks (we had to purchase many additional single-person desks) to all classrooms, spacing them at least three feet apart, and installing plexiglass where needed. Thanks to all of their work, I am confident that we will be ready for this expansion. Again, I’ll provide more details on Monday and at our Board meeting next Wednesday.
That’s it for now. If you went out of state - get that COVID test and (assuming it’s negative) come back to school three days early!
Enjoy the rest of your break!
