 District to Provide Limited On-Site Childcare Programs  Dear Parents/Guardians and Staff Members: With the District starting the new school year using the distance learning instructional model, many families—and school staff—have expressed childcare needs and concerns. I am proud to announce that our District will be able to provide on-site childcare on a limited basis during distance learning, thanks to our partnerships with community-based organizations such as the South Bay Family YMCA. The objective is that, while our teachers execute remote instruction, the YMCA would provide full-day childcare programs Districtwide that support distance learning instruction. In essence, we are repurposing funds and services traditionally utilized for before- and after-school programs to support our instruction during the school day. As you know, we are in an extraordinary period, given the global pandemic and resulting state and local social distancing guidelines. The soonest the childcare programs could start is Tuesday, September 8. We are in the process of implementing protocols consistent with state and local public health guidelines to ensure in-person childcare is available at each of our campuses. Because our staff members are essential workers critical to the success of instruction during distance learning, our teachers will receive priority registration along with foster youth, homeless youth, and other students from families in need. Because the need for childcare is far greater than the number of spots available, we encourage families to explore fee-based licensed childcare programs as well. We understand many of our families need childcare because of work demands. Please bear with us as we explore solutions with you and our community partners. Be on the lookout for additional details. Sincerely, Francisco Escobedo, Ed.D.Superintendent |
 Virtual Back-to-School Townhall Mark Your Calendars! Please join Superintendent Francisco Escobedo, Ed.D., and other area school district officials from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Saturday, August 15, at a Virtual Back-to-School Distance Learning Town Hall. The event is hosted by state Assembly District 79 to provide school district leaders an opportunity to explain their reopening plans to parents based on changes due to the COVID-19 pandemic; allow parents the opportunity to ask school district leaders questions relating to the upcoming school year; and receive information from Cox Communications and AT&T representatives about their technology services, including how to obtain them. Participating educational agencies include the Chula Vista Elementary, La Mesa-Spring Valley, Lemon Grove, San Diego Unified, and Sweetwater Union High School Districts and O’Farrell Charter School. To register, please click on the button below. Register |
 Training Session and Meeting on 8/18 On Tuesday, August 18, special meetings of the District Advisory Committee/District English Learner Advisory Committee (DAC/DELAC) will be held to share important information about the new school year. First, a virtual Parent Training Session will be held at 11 a.m., where Superintendent Francisco Escobedo, Ed.D., will share an overview of the Reopening Safety Considerations and Guidelines for our District, as well as the instructional models that will be offered during the 2020-21 school year. Then, at 12 p.m., Matthew R. Tessier, Ed.D., Assistant Superintendent of Innovation and Instruction, will engage parents in an activity to gather their questions and suggestions for the plan. Questions collected by the group will be responded to in writing by Dr. Escobedo and will be posted on the District’s website. The Microsoft Teams link for English or interpretation to Spanish are accessible by clicking the button below. Please note, these are the same links to join either the 11 a.m. or 12 p.m. DAC/DELAC meetings. Access Meeting Links |
 Summer Learning Camp is Underway Our District’s Summer Learning Camp began on August 10 in a distance learning model. Special thanks go out to the 184 teachers who are providing instruction to about 1,800 students in a virtual format. The Summer Learning Camp will serve students who were selected and invited to attend based on assessment data from earlier this spring, which indicated a need for intervention and to address possible learning loss. The Summer Learning Camp includes a rigorous instructional day for students through a structured daily schedule. This program includes some parameters defined in Assembly Bill 77 (AB 77) that increase academic rigor and student-teacher engagement. Also starting on August 10, CVESD’s Special Education Department began a “Recovery Intersession” via a distance learning model. We have deep gratitude for 30 Educational Specialist Teachers, seven Speech and Language Pathologists, three Occupational Therapists, an Adapted Physical Education Teacher, and a School Psychologist who are each supporting this opportunity. We are also thankful for the 25 principals who are hosting classes and supporting teachers and students. The Recovery Intersession helps narrow learning loss that may be due to COVID-19 closures for students with Specialized Academic Instruction. It is also an opportunity for students to have sessions in speech and language if they receive those services during the school year. The Recovery Intersession includes a rigorous instructional day for students through a structured daily schedule with many opportunities for individualized and small group instruction. |
 Proposed Partnership to Focus on School Safety When In-person Instruction Resumes Our District and biotechnology firm Kahala Biosciences have engaged in exploratory conversations around the development of a COVID-19 continuous quality improvement project when schools eventually resume in-person instruction. Working with possibly five of our schools and with voluntary participation, the proposed project would focus on determining the level of active cases among our District population, identifying what interventions work to mitigate spread of the virus, and analyzing the emotional response by students and staff toward testing and symptom monitoring. The Governor’s recently announced pandemic plan centered on five key areas, including public health guidance that recommends “staff in every California school be tested for COVID-19 periodically based on local disease trends and as testing capacity allows.” The Governor also announced that the state will provide resources and technical assistance for COVID-19 case follow-up in school settings.

Good Evening Olympic View Families and Friends!
I am ready to take on this challenge! I know the OV community is as well! I know we may all have different ideas and views on opening schools but, I also know the power of our Golden Eagle Community! I am making the promise that I am here for our students, staff, parents, grandparents, guardians and community. It will not be perfect (what is?), and we will make adjustments along the way. I guarantee that my focus of “Safety and Students First,” will not waiver. PLEASE make sure you have followed the blog by entering your email address. This insures you will receive updates to the blog as they come out. Please read this post in it’s entirety. I love, and miss you all, and can’t wait to see the awesome leadership from our students, staff, and families that will continue to reveal itself, not when things are easy, but when character and leadership is truly tested! I am confident we will all pass!!!!!!
It’s time for Residency Verification! In order to attend Olympic View School ALL STUDENTS with the exception of incoming Kindergarteners or new students who already registered, MUST provide documentation of residency. Click here for the residency verification form. Click here for the 2nd Family Affidavit (if home is in someone else’s name). Past due bills are ok this year only. Please scan/take a photo of your completed documents and email to
Wednesday, August 17 The School Office staff returns and will be available to support families from 8:00 am – 4:00 pm. For the safety of everyone we ask that you please call or email before coming to the school office. 619-656-2030 or email olympicviewschool@cvesd.org
Monday, August 31 THE FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL FOR THE 2020 – 2021 – DISTANCE 
LEARNING! More information to come! Please note that California Compulsory Education Law requires everyone between the ages of six and eighteen years of age to attend school, except sixteen- and seventeen-year-olds who have graduated from high school or passed the California High School Proficiency Exam (CHSPE) and obtained parental permission to leave.
A small number of students per grade level were invited to attend a virtual, online Summer Learning Camp (SLC). This camp will be during the hours of 8:00-11:30 and held daily Monday through Friday from August 10, 2020 to August 21, 2020. This program will incorporate daily one-on-one instruction and small group intervention with teachers online.
Summer Learning Camp will provide instruction in reading and mathematics to students who may benefit from additional intervention. Each child’s individual literacy skills and numeracy skills will be assessed and addressed during this ten-day camp. This experience is intended for a limited number of students: Only those students needing additional support in reading foundational skills and mathematics will be invited to attend.
We are excited to offer this virtual Summer Learning Camp next week!
The Special Education and Pupil Services Department is also offering a Recovery Intersession for all Special Education students. This is another individualized, online opportunity for invited students. A highlight of this program will be additional small group and one-on-one instruction tailored for students’ needs.
The school day will mirror that of the Summer Learning Camp and be 3 hours and 30 minutes from 8:00-11:30 and held daily, Monday through Friday, from August 10, 2020 to August 21, 2020. Since this special opportunity is not part of a child’s IEP, transportation will not be provided, and the school will not hold IEP meetings or conduct IEP assessments. Again, this program is intended for students with IEPs and is available by invite only.
The Superintendent of the Chula Vista Elementary School District (CVESD) has committed to providing staff and families a newsletter every two weeks.

Good Morning Olympic View Families and Friends,
I hope that everyone is well and enjoying their summer break. Sunday messages will now continue. Please stay updated for school, OPTC, committees and other information. It’s hard to believe how much has transpired since school closed in March, both in our county, state, country and the world. Like many of you, I had high hopes of opening our doors to all of our Golden Eagles, both big and small and greeting them face to face in the fall, however, we must move forward with new public health orders for the safety of our students and staff. I am sensitive to the challenges that families have with the COVID-19 pandemic, and I know that you have many questions regarding school starting using a Distance Learning model. I also want to acknowledge and respond to some of the questions you may have.
Question: With the Distance Learning model, our family will need childcare. Will the District provide childcare?
A: We understand that childcare is a necessity for many of our families during Distance Learning, and the District is exploring childcare options to the extent possible. More information regarding childcare is forthcoming. Thanks for your patience!
Question: My child will need a device/laptop for Distance Learning. Can we get one from the school?
A: Technology and Wifi will be important as we begin the school year in Distance Learning, and we want to make sure our students have what they need to be successful. For families that need a device, we definitely want to support you! Plans for a device distribution is in the works, and you will hear more about that in the coming weeks.
Question: I’m concerned about how my child will make academic growth during Distance Learning. Will there be a more consistent structure? My child needs daily interaction with the teacher.
A: We are committed to providing grade level academic instruction to your child whether in person or via Distance Learning. Assembly Bill 77 (AB-77) was amended on June 23, 2020 to reflect Distance Learning. I encourage you to read this document using the link provided. As a District and school, this bill will serve as a guidepost for us. AB-77 includes items such as daily live interaction with the teacher, academic supports such as Designated and Integrated ELD, and Special Education and related services.
Link to AB-77:
https://static.k12insight.com//clients/_LTFileUploads/LT_chulavista/07142020_6933.pdf
Question: How will we find out who my child’s teacher is?
A: You will receive an email the week prior to school starting with your child’s class assignment.
Question: What school supplies do I need to have ready for my child? Will we be given a list?
A: The school and/or your child’s teacher will let you know what supplies will be helpful to support Distance Learning for your child at home. We will communicate with you as we get closer to the start of school. We understand you want to be prepared, but we thank you for your patience as we are currently working through the shift to Distance Learning. Know that if any families need basic school supplies, Olympic View will coordinate to provide them to you.
Question: When will the school office be open? I have questions about registration, change of address, zone transfers, residency verification, and other items.
A: Our school office is closed for the summer; however, office personnel will be responding to inquiries starting August 12. Here is the contact information for our staff:
More information regarding the opening of schools can be found on the district website, cvesd.org, or by visiting:
