We will continue to test free of charge. The government requires our school and Covid Clinic to ask if parents have insurance or are uninsured. Please fill out the form below. YOU WILL NOT BE CHARGED!!!
IMPORTANT: We have provided COVID-19 testing for you or your dependents during the COVID-19 pandemic. A new California law (SB 510) took effect January 1, 2022, and requires California private insurance plans to pay for ALL COVID-19 testing received by you and your dependents at any time during the COVID-19 pandemic, at no cost to you. Additionally, federal funding via HRSA will no longer cover testing for those without insurance. To make sure you and your dependents receive the benefit of this new law, and so you do not receive a bill from us for COVID-19 testing, we need your insurance information now. Once you provide us with accurate insurance information, we will bill and accept payment from your insurance plan (at no out-of-pocket cost to you or your dependents) for any COVID-19 testing received from us in the past or in the future. But without your accurate insurance information, we cannot help you and your dependents to receive the benefit of this new law.
Te hemos realizado pruebas en el pasado: Seguiremos haciendo las pruebas de forma gratuita. El gobierno requiere que nuestra escuela y Covid Clinic pregunten si los padres están asegurados o si no tienen seguro. Por favor, rellene el formulario de abajo. ¡¡NO SE LE COBRARÁ!!
IMPORTANTE: Si te hemos realizado pruebas de COVID-19 para usted o algún miembro de su familia durante la pandemia de COVID-19. Una nueva ley de California (SB 510) entró en vigor el 1 de enero de 2022 y requiere que su plan de seguro médico privado de California paguen TODAS las pruebas de COVID-19 recibidas por usted y sus dependientes en cualquier momento durante la pandemia de COVID-19, sin costo alguno para usted. Adicionalmente, fondos federales de HRSA no cubrirá los costos de pruebas sin seguro médico. Para asegurarse de que usted y sus dependientes reciban el beneficio de esta nueva ley, y para que no reciba una factura de nuestra parte para las pruebas realizadas de COVID-19, necesitamos la información de su seguro médico lo más pronto posible. Una vez que usted nos proporcione la información precisa de su seguro médico, facturaremos y aceptaremos el pago de su plan de seguro médico (sin costo de bolsillo para usted y sus dependientes) por cualquier prueba realizada de COVID-19 por nosotros. Pero sin su información precisa sobre el seguro médico, no podemos ayudarle a usted y a sus dependientes a recibir el beneficio de esta nueva ley.

Summer Learning Academy
As a year-round school district, CVESD does not provide a traditional summer school experience. However, for the first time in many years, our district will offer a summer learning option called the Summer Learning Academy. This program will have very limited space and is intended to meet the needs of our students needing the highest level of academic and social-emotional support from the district. This may include students that are homeless or foster youth or students who are English Learners or students with disabilities. The Summer Learning Academy is designed to address the needs of our students in need, who may not otherwise get additional support.
Our school will be contacting families who qualify for this program directly to invite them to this Summer Learning Academy, which will not be at Loma Verde Elementary, but rather at another school in our district. Parents will need to provide transportation for their child if they qualify for this program. Please contact the school office directly with questions about this program.
Indoor Masking Update:
Effective March 21, masking is no longer required but is strongly recommended for all students and staff members. However, it should be noted that we are required to continue to follow the SDCOE (San Diego County Office of Education) Decision Tree. We will continue to require masking for students and staff early releasing from isolation (positive cases) days 6 – 10 and students and staff exposed to positive cases in the k-12 setting. Please click here for the most up-to-date decision tree.
