Sibling Enrollment / New Student Enrollment
It is time for siblings and new students to apply for enrollment for the 2022/23 school year. Siblings of current VCS students have priority over new students but must apply just the same. To be eligible for Kindergarten, children must be 5 by September 2, 2022. Open enrollment will run from 1/24/22 through 2/4/22. Applications can be found; attached to this bulletin, in the office or the website.
Updated Covid Guidelines
Here are the latest guidelines, with links, from the California Department of Public Health. Most of it is the same, but the isolation time has changed. Please see the following slides (because these are cut and pasted slides you cannot click activate the links).
You can find this information in more detail at CDPH K-12 Schools guidance
Please Note: Because our students mask indoors and outdoors except when eating, the majority of our in-school exposures hare mask-on-mask. Therefore, most students who have been exposed at school and are asymptomatic qualify for modified quarantine (see last slide below).
I know this is a lot to take in…please don’t hesitate to call the office if you need clarification and guidance.
I appreciate everyone for being tolerant, kind, and patient. Thank you!
Understanding Your COVID-19 Test Results
NEGATIVE TEST?
• If you feel well and have no COVID-19 symptoms, RETURN TO SCHOOL!
• If you have SYMPTOMS or have been in contact with someone with COVID-19, please call your school before you return – even if the test is negative. More testing may be needed.
POSITIVE TEST? Stay home from school and contact your doctor and your school right away. See attached slides for isolation/quarantine protocol or check the CDPH K-12 Guidelines
UNCLEAR TEST RESULTS? Retest with another home test or at a local testing site.
ANY SYMPTOMS? KNOWN EXPOSURE? If you HAVE ANY COVID-19 symptoms and/or you know you were exposed, CALL YOUR SCHOOL before you return.
Unfortunately, VCS does not have any more antigen tests.
