There is NO SCHOOL on Monday, January 17, in observance of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day.
Hello Loma Verde Families,
I want to recognize our Loma Verde Elementary Staff for their unwavering dedication to keeping our school open and a safe place of learning for your children. The greatest support you can offer right now is ensuring that children with COVID symptoms do not come to school.
In observance of Martin Luther King Jr. Day, CVESD’s COVID-19 testing centers at both the District’s Education Services and Support Center (ESSC) and Hedenkamp Elementary School will be closed on Monday, January 17, 2022. Both sites will reopen for testing during their regular hours on Tuesday, January 18, 2022.

Should your child(ren) test positive, keep them home from school and contact your doctor and your school right away. If your child tests positive using a home kit or at facility OTHER THAN the District or Hedenkamp, please use the form below to report the positive case. You will be contacted with a return date.

Positive COVID-19 Case Guidance
If you have any general COVID questions you can email CovTest4@cvesd.org.
REMINDERS:
- Please DO NOT send your child to school with any type of symptoms.
- DO NOT send your child to school if they live with someone who has tested positive.
- If your child(ren) has/have symptoms (like cough and/or fever) or have been in contact with someone with COVID-19, please keep them home and use your test to see if they have COVID-19. In addition, in this case please call us before they return to school – even if the test is negative. More testing may be needed as the variants often cause people to test negative at the early onset of their infection.
- Students can get attendance credit by completing an independent study. Please ask your teacher or office staff for a list of work to complete.
- Go to cvesd.org to see the current Covid-19 testing schedule.

Children 5 and up can be vaccinated against Covid-19. Please send completed (two doses of Pfizer) COVID-19 vaccination card copies to lomaverdeschool@cvesd.org to update school vaccination records.

Mural Unveiling on Friday, January 14 for Loma Verde Community
There was a mural unveiling ceremony on Friday, January 14th, 2022, in Loma Verde Park, to celebrate the completion of the beautiful mural painting located right behind Loma Verde Elementary (off Hilltop Dive). The Trojans Loving our Community (TLC) club from Castle Park High School, the city of Chula Vista, and 2 city council members worked together to help complete the mural painting in the weeks before winter break. The artwork itself was completed by Ground Floor Murals with the support of the community. The wall was selected so our Loma Verde students can see it from the playground. The mural can be seen from the playground/dirt field on the large wall facing Loma Verde (The large mountain lion is a nod from the artist to the Castle Park and the Loma Verde community!). We are so grateful for this amazing artwork and generosity to the community!
