Updated COVID-19 Communication
Parents & Guardians, Santa Maria Joint Union High School District is committed to the priority of keeping students and staff safe and healthy. The District is determined to use every tool available to continue to keep classrooms open for full day in-person instruction and in-school transmission low. In following new guidance from SB County Public Health the District will be switching to Group-Based Contact Tracing. If your student is exposed to COVID-19, your school site will inform you with the notification below regarding your student. The school site will help you in determining which pathway of quarantine or isolation your student(s) falls into. The school site will provide options for on-site testing, at-home testing, or testing at Allan Hancock College. Please read through the notification below so you are familiar with it if your student receives one due to an exposure at school. School sites will also be providing families the option to pick up an at-home test for their student(s) the week of January 18-21 and beyond. Specific communication from the site will be sent out through Parent Square regarding the day(s) and times tests will be available for pick up. Below (and attached) is the sample of the notification Parents/students will receive upon a COVID-19 exposure. Parent/Student Notification Dear Parent/Guardian Santa Maria Joint Union High School District is committed to the priority of keeping students and staff safe and healthy. The District is determined to use every tool available to continue to keep classrooms open for full day in-person instruction and in-school transmission low. In that light, the school has been informed that your child’s classroom or extracurricular activity was exposed to someone who recently tested positive for COVID-19. We are following public health recommendations to ensure that the person with COVID-19 follow instructions for isolation and remains away from others until they can safely return to school. Your child’s classroom or extracurricular activity remains will remain open unless otherwise notified by the athletic director or administrator. This information will be provided to you in an abundance of caution with the request for sensitivity and consideration for those who are directly impacted. This message is to support you in the proactive monitoring of your child’s health, but not to alert you of required action for this specific situation. What will this mean for you and your child? · Your child may remain in school unless they develop symptoms or test positive for COVID-19 . Being exposed to somebody with COVID-19 does not necessarily mean that your child will become infected. In fact, scientific research, and experience from around the country – including from California during this school year – demonstrate that schools remain among the safest places for children to be. · Your child should get tested for COVID-19 within 3-5 days after the last date that the individual with COVID-19 was in school, or sooner if your child starts to show symptoms of COVID-19. All students have access to free, District-provided COVID-19 testing. Please ask school officials for the options. Over-the-counter tests may also be used. · If your child develops symptoms of COVID-19 or tests positive for COVID-19, please ensure they isolate at home immediately and notify the school right away. When you notify us, we can take additional steps to keep our school community safe. · Your child must continue to wear a mask indoors in the school and community per school, local, and state requirements. Follow school policies to protect against COVID-19. High-quality masks with the best fit and filtration will provide the best protection for your child and the school community. · If you haven’t done so yet, your child should get vaccinated against COVID-19. If your child is 12 years of age or older, a booster dose is recommended five months after the second dose. Vaccinations against COVID-19 remain the best way to protect against the spread of this virus and against severe disease. Make an appointment to get vaccinated or contact your child’s doctor or healthcare provider to learn more. Note that infections diagnosed in students and school staff are not necessarily the result of exposure at school when safety protocols are followed at school, and COVID-19 transmission remains much more likely to occur outside of school settings. Please be assured that we are committed to facilitating an optimal learning experience ensuring the safety of our students and staff. You may visit SMJUHSD website at http://www.smjuhsd.k12.ca.us/Default.asp?PN=Links&L=1&DivisionID=24306&LMID=1203971&ToggleSideNav=DivisionOnly for more COVID-19 information or the Parent Square website at your school for regular updates. Sincerely, Kevin Platt Assistant Superintendent, Human Resources

SMJUHSD Trustee Area Map Redistricting Public Hearin...
PRESS RELEASE The Santa Maria Joint Union High School District Board of Education will hold a final public hearing on several proposed redistricting maps during a special school board meeting on January 18. The proposed maps are all posted on the school district website. The meeting marks the fifth opportunity for the public to provide input on how the district’s boundaries and neighborhoods should be represented. Trustees plan to make their decision at a school board meeting on February 8. On April 10, 2018, the SMJUHSD School Board adopted a resolution to transition from at-large trustee elections to by-trustee elections. The existing at-large election system gives voters the ability to vote for all of the board members. The new by-trustee area system will allow voters to only vote for a candidate who lives in their district of residence. All of the proposed maps have been reviewed by the district’s legal team and demographer. Those reviews ensure adherence to legal requirements and are based on the 2020 Census data. For more information, visit http://www.smjuhsd.k12.ca.us/ SMJUHSD Media Contact: Public Information Officer Kenny Klein 805-709-1454 or kklein@smjuhsd.org

Copy of Return to School COVID Testing Available
SMJUHSD Students & Families, The district hopes you all have had a happy and restful holiday season. As we look to return to school next week, we find ourselves in yet again another challenging situation in regard to Covid. We are scheduled to begin in-person instruction on Thursday, January 13, 2022. In recognition of the family gatherings and travel many in our community experienced over the holidays and in trying to re-open in as safe a manner as possible, the district strongly encourages all students (regardless of vaccination status) to be tested for COVID before returning to school. As the Omicron variant is the most transmissible yet, and SMJUHSD is concerned for students and staff, SMJUHSD is strongly encouraging all members of the SMJUHSD community to have a COVID test (regardless of vaccination status), before returning to campus. To clarify – this is not mandatory, but strongly encouraged. For those students who have not yet participated in the Aptitude Medical Systems ("Aptitude") saliva-based COVID-19 testing program on your campus, signing up for the program allows you to receive free COVID-19 tests and results through Santa Maria Joint Union High School District. To enable Aptitude to provide this testing option for each of us, Aptitude needs your individual consent and additional information for you to participate in the program. Within the next day, you will receive an email and/or text notification with a link with your personal Aptitude ID. Your personal Aptitude ID will typically be some variation of your staff ID . If you have health insurance, you will be asked to provide your insurance policy number, so please have your insurance card handy when you sign up. If you also want to upload a picture of your health insurance card into the system, you can, but it is not required. Aptitude receives federal funding for the uninsured and is required to ask about insurance coverage. Anyone who attests to being uninsured will be covered through a federal grant. There is no out-of-pocket cost to those who have insurance. Aptitude will bill insurance when and if available. Again, there will be no cost to you . You’ll be able to go to one of the sites below during the hours/days listed or test at your worksite on the designated day. If you click on the link you will receive from Aptitude and answer the needed questions; the time needed to test will be shortened. Show up to test, inform them you are a student at SMJUHSD, give them your name and birthdate and you’re good to go. While you will still be able to preregister right before you test at the site, the process will be much quicker if you do preregister. Students can test free at any of the following Santa Maria testing locations:: Santa Maria Joint Union High School District Delta High School Ernest Righetti High School Pioneer valley High School Santa Maria High School Tuesday, January 11, 2022, 8am-2:30 pm Allan Hancock College , Parking Lot 6 Mon-Fri Sat-Sun 9am-5pm; 9am-1pm Other possible testing locations: Santa Maria Fairpark , 937 Thornburg Street Sun-Thurs 10am-6pm https://lhi.care/covidtesting Santa Maria Bonita School District Liberty Elementary , 1300 Sonya Lane El Camino Junior High, 219 W.
