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.
