PARENT TEACHER CONFERENCES
Our Spring Parent-Teacher Conferences start this week. They began on Thursday, March 10, and end on Thursday, March 17. Students will have minimum days during conferences with a 1:00 PM dismissal. Please make every effort to attend the scheduled conference to discuss your child’s progress. Our teachers and students will share very important information and you will have an opportunity to ask questions about your child’s progress this school year. Please contact your child’s teacher and/or the office if you have not received a scheduled conference time.
Indoor Masking Update:
The Chula Vista Elementary School District is meeting this week with multiple stakeholder groups and experts to determine how we will move forward with the masking guidance as a District once the state indoor masking expires on 3/12/22. We will be providing all stakeholder input and information to our governing board at our next board meeting on March 9, 2022, so they can make the best-informed decision regarding indoor masking for students and staff. We are optimistic about the opportunity to reevaluate community guidance while maintaining a safe learning environment for our staff and students. Once the District updates guidance, we will send out updated guidance, until then we will continue to require making for students and staff.

Weekly, On-Site, Covid Testing Tues., 3/8 at Loma Verde
If you would like to take advantage of this free and convenient service, you must register your children by using the link provided to you via your email or with this link: https://school.covidclinic.org. So far we have 190 students and staff signed up to test!
To register your account, click the parent/guardian tab. Fill in your information and then your children’s information. You will need each child’s student ID#. You will then be prompted to Part Two which is ordering a test for your children. This second step must be completed by 12:00 PM on Monday, 3/7 to ensure we have a test kit prepared for your child by Tuesday. After doing this the first time, the order will repeat itself every week – no further action will be needed. You will receive an email confirming “Your Order Has Been Placed”.
To revoke or skip testing at any time after that email: k12@covidclinic.org
Anyone that has tested positive for Covid would want to skip PCR testing for 90-days as this could result in false positives.
On Tuesdays, teams will go to each classroom to test students & staff that are registered and have ordered their tests. This will take approximately 10 minutes per class. Any positive results will be reported to you and the district the next day through an email.
Weekly COVID testing of all students and staff at school will increase our ability to keep our school safe and open during this pandemic. It also removes the burden from you to take your children to get tested after every exposure, and it will fill the weekly testing requirement for sports team participation.
Thank you for your participation!
Updated Vaccination Information
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. Children are considered fully vaccinated two weeks after the second Pfizer dose. Children who are fully vaccinated do not need to quarantine after exposure to a positive case IF we have vaccination records on file. Click here for information about where to get the COVID-19 vaccine.
SPRING BREAK
It is hard to believe our next break is right around the corner! Spring Break begins on March 19 and continues through April 3. Students will return to school on April 4. It will be a minimum day. We hope you enjoy the time off with your children. We encourage all our students to continue reading and practicing math over the break. Also, you may want to have your 3rd-6th grade child practice a few sample test items to help prepare for CAASPP testing in May: Practice Tests. Thank you for your support!
