Update from Superintendent Ahmadi - March 29, 2021
March 29, 2021 Dear Families and Staff, Today marked the first day of all TK-5 students returning to in person instruction through a hybrid model. After an entire year of distance learning, families, students, and staff were excited to start the week off with our third through fifth graders joining the rest of the elementary school students for in person instruction. I am truly grateful to all of you for your part in making this happen. Your partnership and support during distance learning and your vigilance in following all required restrictions in the community, in your neighborhoods, and with family and friends has been instrumental in allowing us this opportunity. Please continue to exercise caution, follow masking and distancing guidelines and all other restrictions during and after spring break. Student COVID-19 Testing OPEN during Spring Break: The testing site will be open during Spring Break, M-F from 12-6 p.m. at the Center For the Arts (CFA) on Redwood Rd. COVID-19 student testing is open to all grades and is voluntary and parents/guardians can get tested for COVID-19 by booking an appointment for the same time slot as their student. For more information or to make an appointment please click here. Solidarity with Our Asian and Pacific Islander Community: At its March 24 meeting, the Castro Valley Unified School District Board of Education unanimously adopted a resolution denouncing hate crimes and bigotry targeting the Asian and Pacific Islander (API) community (Click to view the resolution and board presentation) . We stand firm in our commitment to the safety and wellbeing of every Asian and Pacific Islander student, staff, and community member. Prior to the current increase in hate crimes against Asian and Pacific Islander communities, we had launched the Asian and Pacific Islander Community Support Group (APICSG). The group, made up of CVUSD staff members, has been working together to provide support and advocacy to our Asian and Pacific Islander communities and sharing resources and data. Women in Leadership: On March 23rd, we hosted a Women in Leadership Panel Discussion in honor of Women's History Month. We were extremely honored to have four women leaders be able to share their perspectives on gender equality and offer great advice to students and families. To view the recording, please click here. Plans for the 2021-2022 School Year: Based on the newly updated guidance from the Public Health Department we are planning for maximum in-person instruction for every student in the Fall of 2021 following all requirements. We will continue to update you as we have more information. Best regards, Parvin Ahmadi Superintendent
