The school and the school office are closed to the public this week, but we are HERE working, so please feel free to contact us with any questions.

Teachers will be working from home, and many will be phone conferencing with you during your previously dedicated time. If your child’s teacher did not send home a report card already, they will email you a copy of your child’s report card by March 20th. If you have any questions regarding report cards or conferences, please contact your child’s teacher.
While at home, we encourage children to READ, READ, READ. A great way to practice writing is to keep a journal and to write letters to family and friends.
Students have access to their various computer programs. Here are some ideas for keeping kids happy and busy during this time. Also, students have at-home access to the computer programs they use at school. For Achieve3000 (2nd-6th), Smarty Ants (1st and some 2nd & 3rd), and Imagine Learning English and Imagine Learning Espanol, go to the CVESD students page. If using a tablet, many of the programs have a free app you can download.
CVESD has posted some helpful information about the district’s response and about staying safe during the pandemic on the district website.
Updates about school closures will be sent out via the CVESD messaging system, so please ensure we have your correct phone number and email on file. Let us know if there are any family members or care providers you would like added to our distribution list. Text YES to 67587 to receive all CVESD and Loma Verde info via text message.

Loma Verde Families and Friends,
Here is the latest information regarding our response as a district to the COVID-19 events that have been unfolding. Please be sure to click on the link below for further information.
Dear Loma Verde Families and Friends,
Due to Governor Newsom’s announcement regarding canceling events involving 250 people or more, I have made the decision to take extra precautions to protect our students and families. Please note that the Monday blacktop character assembly, ELAC Meeting, field trips, and ACE Awards scheduled for this week and next week have been canceled.
Our school is taking precautions in disinfecting desks, tables, and chairs. We will continue to reviewed hand washing with all students and are reminding students to wash or sanitize throughout the day. Please help us by reminding your children not to share food.
In addition, we will be splitting up our students into smaller groups during lunch so they are not in such close proximity while eating. We will also ask our students to proceed to the classrooms at 7:55 to line up by their classroom doors rather than lining up on the blacktop. Students should still participate in walking the track before school and eating breakfast at the tables if they are on campus between 7:15 and 7:55. Students should not be in the hallways near the classrooms until after the bell rings at 7:55.
Please be sure to read the following update from the Superintendent. Our district is working closely with the CDC as well as the California Department of Public Health.
Please email me if you have any questions or concerns. Thank you for your understanding.
Yours in safety,
Mrs. Bree Watson – Principal
Loma Verde Elementary School
