Principals’ Message ~ December 17th

Happy Winter Break! We have officially wrapped up the Fall semester and 2021! Congratulations to all our students, staff and families for their hard work, cooperation, compassion and support these past 5 months. We hope you all enjoy the well deserved break to rest, rejuvenate and spend time with loved ones. We look forward to seeing you back at school in 2022! Please see our updates for this week below.

Updates & Reminders:

1. NO SCHOOL – Winter Break: School will be closed for the next two weeks (Dec 20-31).  Classes resume on Monday, January 3rd, 2022! 

2. Holiday travel guidance:   If you are traveling this holiday season, we hope you stay safe and please remember to follow all guidance from CDC and California Department of Public Health. The following recommendations have been made:

  • All travelers arriving in or returning to California from other states or countries should test 3-5 days upon arrival.
  • All travelers who test positive or develop symptoms of COVID-19 should isolate and follow public health recommendations.
  • SFUSD is recommending that staff and students who are not fully vaccinated for COVID-19 wait for the end of the CDC-recommended quarantine period before returning to school after travel.
  • COVID reminders:  Please remember that if your child shows any COVID symptoms, they should stay home.  In order to return to school, please email your child’s negative COVID test results to Ms. Betty (lamb1@sfusd.edu) and your child’s teacher.  Rapid tests administered at home are NOT accepted.  PCR and rapid tests administered at a clinic or doctor’s office are accepted.

3.  Keep Calm & Just Breathe!  Your children have been learning various breathing techniques during our Wellness Wednesday morning assemblies! Ask them about Bumblebee breathing, Spiderman breathing, Firecracker breathing, Heart Breathing and others! They also recently learned a poem they can practice when they need help calming their minds and bodies. You can see some ideas here and help them practice at home!

  • Each time your child says a line of the poem, they can take a breath in and out
  • With this breath (breathe in); My mind grows stronger (breathe out); So I can focus (breathe in); A little longer (breathe out); I breathe in through my nose (breathe in); And out through my mouth (breathe out); That’s what focus time (breathe in); Is all about (breath out).

4.  Rainy Day pick up:   Thank you to all the parents who weathered the storm with us during Monday’s rain!  We appreciate your patience and compassion as we try to figure this out together. We have created a rainy day plan for pick up (for students NOT attending after school). Please see the attached information. Thank you. 

Upcoming dates to remember:

  • December 20th – December 31st: Winter Break (*School resumes Monday, January 3rd)
  • Monday January 17th: No School – MLK Day
  • Monday January 31 & Tuesday February 1: No school – Lunar New Year Observance
