Here is a letter to all families regarding the state's change to the school mask mandate. https://5il.co/16hay
Today, the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) updated how it determines what constitutes transmission levels of COVID-19. According to their updated website, “Levels can be low, medium, or high and are determined by looking at hospital beds being used, hospital admissions, and the total number of new COVID-19 cases in an area.” Siskiyou County is currently in the “High” level. Here is the link to the website: https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/your-health/covid-by-county.html
On Monday, February 28, the governor tells us he will unveil his announcement on his update to the school mask mandate. Our policies state that we will follow the guidelines released by the CDC and the CA Department of Public Health (CDPH).
Because our policy is to follow the recommendations of the CDC and the CDPH, the moves by the CDC and the governor will largely determine how we move forward with our COVID protocols. We will keep our educational partners informed of the state-level changes and how they may affect our own decisions.
Here's a flier about an opportunity for you to give feedback to Mount Shasta City regarding their plan to improve transportation options: https://5il.co/157bn

Here is information regarding a free reading resource that the state is providing to all students in California to encourage reading over the holiday break. Check it out in English or Spanish: https://5il.co/12yvp https://5il.co/12yvt
Here is a flyer with details on the Siskiyou County Public Health Vaccination and COVID testing clinic, now open five days a week in Yreka. https://5il.co/12ytp
Shasta Cascade Health Center in Mt. Shasta (824 Pine Street) has a COVID 19 vaccination clinic on Tuesdays from 1:00 until 4:00pm. They are vaccinating all ages. You can call 530.926.4528 to get scheduled (times can vary depending on staffing).
The holidays are here, and we're passing along two one-page flyers from the CA Department of Public Health on how to stay safe from COVID during this time. https://5il.co/122d3 https://5il.co/122d5
Are you interested in trying out at-home rapid COVID tests around holiday travel, or just for peace of mind? If your child has already undergone a rapid test at Sisson or MSE, your family qualifies to pilot this program. You will receive, at minimum, a box of two at-home rapid COVID tests, and you will log the results using your smart device. If you're interested, please reach out to your child's school office to pick them up. Currently, these home tests do not qualify for clearing a child to come to school. This is simply a pilot program the state is trying.
