The Chula Vista Elementary School District will hold a Virtual Town Hall meeting at 6 p.m. on Monday, October 5. Join us to hear more about plans for a proposed phased reopening of schools to in-person instruction. The time and date of the meeting were moved up in response to parent and staff feedback, and to accommodate the inclusion of two medical professionals with extensive experience and knowledge of the health and care environment, especially in regard to our local community. Superintendent Francisco Escobedo, Ed.D., will be joined by Jeannette Aldous, M.D., and Shaila Serpas, M.D., in this informational and educational presentation.

Dr. Aldous is the Clinical Director of Infectious Disease at San Ysidro Health. She was awarded the “Live Well San Diego Public Health Champion” award for the Individual category, which honors an individual who has made outstanding contributions to the prevention of disease or injury, and/or the promotion of health, in the San Diego County community.

Dr. Aldous has more than 10 years of experience in public health and gives a valuable community provider perspective as an expert in infectious diseases.. She has an impressive resume that includes local, state, and international public health experience, especially in infectious disease treatment and prevention.

Dr. Serpas has a passion for obstetrics and adolescent health, working to continually enhance residency curriculum as associate director of Scripps Family Medicine Residency Program. She was instrumental in establishing and maintaining three school-based adolescent clinics as core residency teaching sites. Since 1994, she has provided care in federally-qualified health centers. Dr. Serpas completed her Master of Public Health through the University of California, Berkeley, School of Public Health.

Dr. Serpas partners with Scripps residents to implement community-based research projects, school-based programs, and advocacy activities. Her clinical interests include reducing health disparities in the areas of childhood obesity, lactation, and migrant health and improving access to healthy environments.

Stay Golden!

Please note, due to feedback, the form for possible reopening has been updated. You are only being asked to commit to 2nd Quarter, NOT the entire year. We will re-evaluate each quarter. If this changes your decision, you can redo the form, and I will use the latest entry. Also, here are some FAQ’s that have been added to the conversation. Thank you for your emails and your caring concern. I really appreciate that! STAY GOLDEN!

Registration Commitment Form Udated

Q: Why are we being asked to fill out a commitment form for the school year? Why not for the quarter? 

A: Thank you for the feedback. Dr. Escobedo agrees that the commitment should be for the quarter. A similar survey would be sent out each quarter. Again, we want to reiterate that any opening is based on transmission rate data that will be continuously examined. Please tune in to the October 8 District Virtual Town Hall meeting for more details. 

Q. I noticed the due date on the commitment form is before the town hall meeting with Superintendent Escobedo. Can we submit the form after the town hall meeting on 08 October, with hopes that our questions will be answered?  

A: Olympic View did not specify a due date. It will be sometime AFTER the Town Hall Meeting.

We will be handing our the student Leader in Me books on Wednesday Sept. 30 between 2 and 4 pm. Please stop by the bus loop and pick up your child’s book, as teachers will begin using them for instruction.

Please be sure you read reopening letter, and FAQ’s BEFORE filling out the survey

School Site Council and ELAC

Olympic View Elementary School needs parents and guardians to support our school through important parent groups, such as the OPTC (Olympic View Parent Teacher Club), the School Site Council (often referred to as SSC), and the English Language Advisory Committee (often referred to as ELAC). The site-based groups work with the Principal, staff, and other community members to ensure that community voice is part of the shared decision making process of a public school.

SCHOOL SITE COUNCIL (SSC) is composed of five elected parent/community representatives and five elected staff/teacher representatives, as well as a parent and staff alternate. The role of the SSC is to develop, approve, and monitor the School Plan for Student Achievement.

With a few exceptions, meetings are held the second Wednesday of every month, at 4 pm. Until further notice, all meetings will be held online. All parents and staff are welcome to attend. Only official members of the SSC may vote in meetings. Council members serve for two year terms.

We have four open parent/community representative positions open this school year. Please fill out the form below if you wish to nominate yourself and serve on the Olympic View School Site Council. Nominations are due by 3 pm on Monday, September 14th. Voting will take place the following week. Please use the link below to nominate: Nomination Forn
