Outdoor Masking Update:

Dear CVESD Staff and Parents/Guardians,

With decreasing COVID-19 positive cases, reduced hospitalizations, and more individuals being vaccinated, we are re-examining our mask mandates.  Currently, we are happy to announce a lifting of the requirement to wear masks outdoors at school. This policy update will take effect on Monday, February 28th. Of course, any student or staff member who feels more comfortable wearing a mask while outdoors at school is welcome to continue to do so.  At this time, we will continue to have the mandate to always wear masks indoors for all students and adults.   We will continue to monitor health organizations recommendations, and local, state, and federal mandates to determine the best course of action as we navigate through this pandemic.   

We are proud of the work our school site and District staff have done to carry out health and safety protocols and even more proud of how our students have responded to these health-focused policies. At schools across the District, students, teachers, and staff have modeled a sense of community and a willingness to look out for one another.

As a District, we will always remain committed to the health and safety of our school communities and to adhering to the appropriate mandates and health recommendations. 

We encourage all members of our school communities to continue to follow public health guidelines and recommendations for remaining safe as the pandemic has not yet gone away. 

For more information on the District’s COVID-19 response, please visit our website at www.cvesd.org

Sincerely,

Eduardo Reyes, Ed. D.

Superintendent

Asunto:  CVESD eliminará el requisito del uso de cubrebocas en los exteriores de las escuelas.

Apreciable personal de CVESD y padres/tutores:

Con la disminución de casos positivos de COVID-19, reducción de hospitalizaciones y más personas vacunadas, estamos revisando nuestros mandatos sobre cubrebocas. Actualmente, nos da gusto anunciar la eliminación del requisito para usar cubrebocas en los exteriores de las escuelas. Esta actualización a la política entrará en vigor el lunes, 28 de febrero. Por supuesto, cualquier estudiante o miembro del personal que se sienta más cómodo usando un cubrebocas mientras esté en exteriores de la escuela puede continuar haciéndolo. Por el momento, continuaremos implementando el mandato de que todos los estudiantes y adultos usen cubrebocas en interiores. Continuaremos monitoreando las recomendaciones de las organizaciones de salud y los mandatos locales, estatales y federales para determinar el mejor curso de acción para navegar por esta pandemia.

Estamos orgullosos del trabajo que nuestro personal en las escuelas y en el Distrito ha realizado para implementar los protocolos de salud y seguridad, y aún más orgullosos de la manera en que nuestros estudiantes han respondido a estas políticas enfocadas en la salud. En las escuelas de todo el Distrito, los estudiantes, maestros y personal han modelado un sentido de comunidad y voluntad de cuidarse unos a otros.

Como Distrito, siempre estaremos comprometidos con la salud y seguridad de nuestras comunidades escolares y con el cumplimiento de los mandatos y recomendaciones de salud correspondientes.

Alentamos a todos los miembros de nuestras comunidades escolares a continuar cumpliendo con las pautas de salud pública y las recomendaciones para mantener la seguridad, ya que la pandemia aún no ha terminado.

Dear Olympic View families and friends,

Please be sure to read the new protocols for COVID 19 exposure. After reading the new guidelines, if you have any questions, you can email COVTEST4@cvesd.org

Dear CVESD Staff and Families:

Over these past few weeks, the CDPH and San Diego County provided multiple updates to COVID guidelines for schools. 

One of the most significant changes applies to if your child is exposed to a positive COVID case at school. There is an adjustment, effective immediately, to the contact tracing process at schools called group-tracing.

The new group-tracing approach to students exposed to a positive COVID case at school allows for a quicker and broader response through prompt notification, testing, and isolation protocols. Anyone who spent more than a cumulative total of 15 minutes (within 24 hours) in shared indoor airspace (e.g., for example, an entire classroom or an entire athletic team during practice) will receive an email notification. Because being exposed to somebody with COVID does not necessarily mean that your child will become infected, public health says your child may remain in school if you receive this notification, unless they develop symptoms or test positive. In addition to wearing a mask and monitoring for symptoms, it is required your child get tested within 3-5 days after the last contact with the positive individual. Proof of a negative test does not need to be submitted in this case. Any positive results should be reported to your child’s school immediately.

This group-tracing strategy also allows for schools to continue to provide safe in-person instruction without excessive quarantining for students and without tying up valuable staff time to undertake intense (and often protracted) contact tracing processes to try to identify individual students who were within a specified radius of someone infected. 

What Do You Do When You Receive an Exposure Letter?

According to the updated San Diego County Office of Education (SDCOE) Decision Tree, your child must test, regardless of vaccination status or prior COVID-19 infection, at least one time between days 3-5 from the last date of exposure on the letter/email. You must report only positive test results to the school site. Please do not send negative results.

What If I Don’t Want My Child to Test?

Parents can opt-out of the group tracing. The student will be excluded from school and extracurricular activities for 10 days per County of San Diego guidance. 
Which Test Should I Take?
PCR or antigen are both acceptable for group contact testing, but it is highly recommended that individuals who have had a history of testing positive for COVID-19 in the last 90 days use an antigen test. Home antigen tests are allowed.

Staff and Preschool will continue to use close-contact notifications 

If you have questions about this guidance, please reach out to members of our COVID-19 response team at covtest4@cvesd.org.

If there is an exposure in preschool, students musts be out of school for 10mdays.

We continue to appreciate your partnership in keeping your child home when symptomatic or COVID positive so we can provide a healthy learning environment for all.

Comunicación del Distrito de Escuelas Primarias de Chula Vista

Estimadas familias y personal de CVESD:

En estas últimas semanas, el CDPH y el Condado de San Diego proporcionaron múltiples actualizaciones a las pautas de COVID para las escuelas. 

Uno de los cambios más significativos se aplica a si su hijo está expuesto a un caso positivo de COVID en la escuela. Hay un ajuste, efectivo de inmediato, al proceso de rastreo de contactos en las escuelas llamado rastreo de grupo.

El nuevo enfoque de rastreo de grupo para los estudiantes expuestos a un caso positivo de COVID en la escuela permite una respuesta más rápida y amplia a través de protocolos de notificación, pruebas y aislamiento rápidos. Cualquier persona que haya pasado más de un total acumulado de 15 minutos (dentro de las 24 horas) en un espacio aéreo interior compartido (por ejemplo, un salón completo o un equipo atlético completo durante la práctica) recibirá una notificación por correo electrónico. Debido a que estar expuesto a alguien con COVID no significa necesariamente que su hijo se infectará, salud pública dice que su hijo puede permanecer en la escuela si recibe esta notificación, a menos que desarrolle síntomas o dé positivo. Además de usar un cubrebocas y monitorear los síntomas, se requiere que su hijo se haga la prueba dentro de los 3-5 días posteriores al último contacto con la persona positiva. No es necesario presentar una prueba de una prueba negativa en este caso. Cualquier resultado positivo debe ser reportado a la escuela de su hijo inmediatamente.

Esta estrategia de rastreo de grupo también permite que las escuelas continúen brindando instrucción segura en persona sin cuarentena excesiva para los estudiantes y sin comprometer el tiempo del personal para llevar a cabo procesos intensos (y a menudo prolongados) de rastreo de contactos para tratar de identificar a los estudiantes individuales que estaban dentro de un radio específico de alguien infectado. 

¿Qué hacer al recibir una carta de exposición?

De acuerdo con el árbol de decisión actualizado de la Oficina de Educación del Condado de San Diego (SDCOE), su hijo debe hacerse la prueba, independientemente del estado de vacunación o la infección previa por COVID-19, al menos una vez entre los días 3 y 5 a partir de la última fecha de exposición en la carta/correo electrónico. Solo debe informar los resultados positivos de las pruebas a la escuela. Por favor, no envíe resultados negativos.

¿Qué pasa si no quiero que mi hijo se haga la prueba?

Los padres pueden optar por no participar en el rastreo de grupo. El estudiante será excluido de la escuela y las actividades extracurriculares durante 10 días según la pauta del Condado de San Diego. 

¿Qué prueba debo tomar?

La PCR o el antígeno son aceptables para las pruebas de contacto de grupo, pero se recomienda encarecidamente que las personas que han tenido antecedentes de haber dado positivo por COVID-19 en los últimos 90 días usen una prueba de antígenos. Se permiten las pruebas caseras de antígenos.

El personal y el preescolar continuarán utilizando las notificaciones de contacto cercano 

Si tiene preguntas sobre esta pauta, comuníquese con los miembros de nuestro equipo de respuesta a COVID-19 en covtest4@cvesd.org.

Continuamos apreciando su cooperación manteniendo a su hijo en casa cuando tenga síntomas o resultado COVID positivo para que podamos proporcionar un ambiente de aprendizaje saludable para todos.
