Tuesday, June 15, Governor Newsom lifted most of the restrictions related to the COVID-19 pandemic, including wearing masks and social distancing. However, as a K-8 school district, many of these guidelines will remain in place while state organizations determine appropriate new guidelines for us. Please plan to continue to have your child wear a face covering to school, and practice social distancing for the last 3 days of school. We will continue to ask that adults remain outside of the school facility to drop off and pick up students. Click to read the full update from WSD. For more information about the requirements for K-8 schools and child care, please follow this link: https://www.cdph.ca.gov/Programs/CID/DCDC/Pages/COVID-19/guidance-for-face-coverings.aspx
