22/23 School Calendar and Updated Bell Schedules
Dear SMJUHSD Students and Families, On Tuesday night the SMJUHSD Board of Education approved the attached 2022-23 school year calendar. It will also be available on the district website at this link – https://www.smjuhsd.k12.ca.us/calendar Additionally, due to Senate Bill 328, the “Late School Start Time Bill”, which mandates beginning in the 2022-23 school year that all high schools in California begin instruction no earlier than 8:30 AM (under the belief that high school students function better with a later start to the day), SMJUHSD school site bell schedules will be adjusted to the attached regular schedules. The district understands the challenges for our staff, students, and families that come with this change, and we did not make the determination to implement the schedule without considerable input, including negotiations and input with our bargaining units. We will be evaluating the impacts of the change throughout the year and will consider making adjustments for the 2023-24 school year if necessary. Students will begin their instructional day at 8:30 AM and end the instructional day at 3:55 PM. The District realizes that this change is difficult and wants to thank you in advance for your understanding. Hope you have a restful and enjoyable Spring Break.

COVID-19 Testing
Dear SMJUHSD Community, Please read the below communication from our testing partner Heal 360 regarding the everchanging guidelines related to COVID testing at our sites. Since Federal funding has expired, Staff insurance information will need to be updated if you are participating in testing. The district will also continue to cover the costs for all students who participate in testing going forward. Thank you for your continued understanding of the challenges presented by these changes. https://inspirediagnostics.com/insurance-update/ - use this link to update your insurance information. Memo: Staff & Students of SMJUHSD Date: March 29, 2022 Re: COVID Testing Heal 360 and Santa Maria Joint Union High School District have formed a partnership to support in the safeguarding of staff, students, and thecommunity against Covid-19. The Cares Act was enacted after the federal and state governments declared a public health emergency. This federal legislation safeguards covid-19 services to the public and was put in place to ensure all individuals could receive testing and vaccination without costs. As of March 23rd, 2022, federal funding for Covid Testing will no longer be available ( www.hrsa.gov/CovidUninsuredClaim ). Additionally, funding for vaccination will not be available after April 5th, 2022. Heal 360 is attempting to make this transition and change as simple andeasy as possible. Effective March 23rd, Costs for testing SMJUHSD students will be covered by the district. Costs for testing of SMJUHSD staff who are uninsured will also be covered by the district. Individuals who have insurance will not be affected, however, we do require those with private insurance to bring their insurance card (or copy) to their testing facility during this transitional time or log into https://inspirediagnostics.com/insurance-update/ . We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. Osman Mohammed COO Heal 360
