September Character Trait: Responsibility
During the month of September, teachers will be focusing on
the character trait of Responsibility. Each class will be reading
the books Simon’s Hook by Karen Burnett and Have You Filled
a Bucket Today? by Carol McCloud to emphasize this character
trait. Classes will be discussing what it means to be
responsible. Classes will talk about what being responsible
looks like and sounds like.
What is Responsibility?
- Responsibility is being dependable and accountable for your
words and actions.
- Responsibility is also doing your best and never blaming
others for your mistakes.
- Being responsible for a job means that you are the one who
makes sure it is done.
How Can You Encourage Your Child To Be Responsible At
Home?
Acknowledge when your child is acting responsibly (cleaning
up, taking care of pets, etc.).
Set a good example for them.
Read books that show the main character being responsible.
Expect each child to contribute to the household (getting
dressed alone, placing their dishes in the sink, etc.) and praise
them for their efforts.
Discussion Questions About Responsibility:
Talk to your child about why doing household chores is
important. Ask each child how they can be responsible at
home. Let them make choices about what they would like to
do.
New Layers of Safety in the District
Sunnyvale School DIstrict is in the process of augmenting our layers of safety for the benefit
of
our students and staff. The purpose of all these efforts is clear: To keep students and staff
safe and to keep classrooms and schools open for in-person instruction.
1. We will begin to offer after-school weekly COVID testing for
all students after Labor
Day. At this point, this testing is optional. Parents will be
receiving a PermissionClick student
testing waiver that will need to be completed in order for their
student to be tested on site. At
this time this is only for students who do not have symptoms.
2. We will be installing HEPA Air Cleaners in all classrooms. It
will take a few weeks for these
devices to arrive and to be deployed. These units provide an additional layer of safety in our
classrooms above the levels recommended by CDPH and CDC. In addition to providing
another level of safety against COVID and other airborne viruses, they also will help clean
classroom air on smoky days.
3. We will change our outdoor masking expectation for students from "highly recommended"
to "required" to align with guidance from the County and their quarantine protocols. This
change will go into effect September 8th. New County quarantine protocols allow students to
stay in school while participating in modified quarantine when they are a “close contact” to a
COVID positive individual only if they were masked.
COVID Protocols
Symptomatic individuals (vaccinated and unvaccinated)
All symptomatic individuals must isolate
May return with a negative test if 24 hours fever free
Without a negative test, must isolate for 10 days
Positive COVID Cases (vaccinated and unvaccinated)
All positive cases must isolate for 10 days
Do not "retest" after isolation
COVID Protocols: Close
Contacts
Close Contact: within 6 feet for 15 or more minutes, within 24
hours and indoors.
Vaccinated, Asymptomatic Adults and Students:
no quarantine
test on/after 6th day
monitor symptoms for 14 days
Unvaccinated, Asymptomatic Adults:
quarantine for 10 days since last exposure
test on/after 6th day
Unvaccinated, Asymptomatic Students: (Exposure at school, case/contact masked):
Modified Quarantine #1:
Can attend class
No extracurricular/sports
Tested within 24 hours
Tested on the 5th day
If negative/asymptomatic may return to extracurricular on day 8
Unvaccinated, Asymptomatic Students: (Exposure at school, case/contact unmasked):
Modified Quarantine #2:
quarantine immediately
test on/after 5th day
if negative test (and no symptoms), can return on the 8th day
* Classes will eat together as a cohort in the classroom on rainy days or REALLY smoky days.
Free Meals for ALL Students
For the 2021-2022 school year, all student meals will be free of
charge. No forms or applications are required. However, meal
applications are still important for school funding. Click here
