This is a courtesy notice sent to all school community members by email. Our campus is very safe and our safety procedures appear to be working.
Anytime there is a case of COVID-19, it is a good reminder to review our safety measures… Please continue to mask up, maintain physical distancing when possible, and wash your hands/sanitize the spaces you use. It is also recommended that all staff use air filtration devices (with the timers and set to use the ionizer feature). A friendly reminder that if anyone (staff or student) presents with any symptom of COVID-19 at school, they must go home.

Out of an abundance of caution and in alignment with California state law, I am hereby informing you that the District learned an individual at school tested positive for the virus that causes COVID-19. This individual is currently in isolation and all staff members and students who may have been affected have already been contacted.
If you have not already been notified that you are a close contact by me or Nurse Linda, at this time, you are NOT considered a close contact with a person who recently tested positive for the virus.
Please read the attached letter from the district’s Emergency Preparedness Office regarding an individual who tested positive for COVID-19 recently and was on Loma Verde’s campus on 11/12/21.
Looking ahead…There will be no school on November 22-26, 2021.
Federal Impact Aid Survey – Return by November 19
Federal funds are provided to the school district based on the number of students enrolled in our schools whose parents/guardians reside or work on Federal Property or are on active duty in the military. Send the completed form by email to lomaverdeschool@cvesd.org or drop it off at the school office Monday-Friday between 7:30-4:00. This form was emailed to parents/guardians.
Reminder: Students are to attend school every day for the ENTIRE day unless they are sick or in quarantine. Please do not take your child out of school early unless you have a scheduled doctor’s visit. Leaving early or arriving late will affect their attendance. Please provide a note for doctor or dentist visits to the attendance health office.
Note: Every time a student is absent (sick or not sick), the parent/guardian must report the reason for the absence by calling the school at 619-420-3940 or sending an email lomaverdeschool@cvesd.org. The absent student must get a cleared pass at the office before returning to the classroom. If you do not notify the office why your child is out, it will be considered an “UNEXCUSED ABSENCE”.
