In the past 24 hours, state and county officials have announced extensions to shelter-in-place orders and that school buildings will remain closed for the rest of the 2019-20 school year. 

The school year has not ended; it has transitioned from in-person classroom instruction to instruction and support for students through distance learning options.

A letter from all of the superintendents in Santa Clara County (see links below) provides more specifics. In the coming days, we will have more district-specific information for you on our district website and through our normal notification systems.

In our commitment to keep you informed of changes as we become aware of them, we want to let you know that late this morning, six Bay Area counties, including ours, announced that we are extending the school closures to May 1. The news release is online.

As we indicated in previous communications, our District is continuing the transition from flexible learning options to formally offering distance learning lessons. Our distance learning—instruction that happens when the teacher and student are not in the same location—will take into consideration student needs and access to technology. 

We understand that families have different situations and resources available, and their anxiety levels often are high. We are only asking that we all do our best and work through the challenges we are facing now. Please see the news release for more details about this extended closure, and check the COVID-19 resources page for updates. 

Our commitment to keeping our students fed and the learning going continues! 

I will be sending an update on Friday that will offer more information about our district’s plans going forward.

Sinncerely,
Dr. Shelly Viramontez, Superintendent

Did you know that the kindergarten students who are counted in Census 2020 will be high school seniors the next time the Census is done in 2030?

Because an accurate census count benefits our schools and community, Campbell Union School District’s Governing Board adopted a resolution in support of US Census 2020. Our schools have been provided with activities for students to learn about the importance of being counted and being a part of the Census 2020. 

Information from the US Census is used to establish federal funding for local communities, health care facilities, social services and public schools. It impacts housing, education, transportation, employment, health care and public policy. We are glad to partner with the US Census Bureau to provide awareness and education around its purpose. 

Invitation to Be Counted

Please join CUSD in being "counted" in Census 2020. Invitations to respond to the 2020 Census will be delivered between March 12-20. Once you receive that invitation, you can respond online, by phone, or by mail.

The U.S. Census Bureau is bound by law to protect your answers and keep them strictly confidential. The law ensures that your private information is never published and that your answers cannot be used against you by any government agency or court.

When new viruses surface, it is important to stay informed. Reports about the new coronavirus first identified in Wuhan, Hubei Province, China, have heightened awarenss about ways to avoid infection. Campbell Union School District and public health officials are closely monitoring developments.

Fortunately, many of the good health habits we use to prevent the spread of other communicable illnesses—flu, common cold, stomach virus—can also reduce the spread of the coronavirus.

To date, there are no confirmed cases in California, and there is low risk to Santa Clara County residents, unless they recently traveled to Wuhan or were in close contact with someone who was ill who recently traveled in that area. 

Recommended Precautions

As we do during every cold and flu season, we encourage everyone to take these common-sense precautions:

• Promote hand hygiene among students and staff through education, scheduled time for handwashing, and availability of soap and water or hand sanitizer.
• Avoid touching your face, particularly your eyes, nose, and mouth.
• Teach and encourage proper cough etiquette—cough or sneeze into a tissue, sleeve, or arm (do not use hands).
• Perform routine surface cleaning. (Our custodial staff cleans surfaces routinely.)
• Encourage students and staff to stay home when they are sick.
• Those who have a fever at school should go home and stay home until at least 24 hours after they no longer have a fever without the use of fever-reducing medicine.

In the unusual event that a child or staff member is identified who recently traveled from Wuhan, China and has symptoms of fever, cough, or shortness of breath, he or she would be sent home and the school would contact the Public Health Department for additional guidance. The Public Health Department is monitoring the situation. They will advise us of any additional recommendations, which we will pass along to you.
