and then I also left some time at the end so that I can hear from the families and answer any questions that you may have simple butter all right okay so court dates that we have coming up just so that everybody knows there are four dates this month in September that all of LAUSD schools will be closed so this week on Friday and then on Monday and Tuesday of next week and then also on the 16th of this month the school will be closed I can do them two speakers. we will be having our elac and SSE orientation election on September 9th at 9 a.m. that will be on soon be lucky SSA we are planning

some other things coffee talk and some other new options that we have coming up I wanted to go over I know previously we were doing coffee talk every week 6:30 I believe it was I do need to make a change to the schedule to make it more accessible to more families I want to add an option for doing it in the mornings for families that need a morning time so on the third Wednesdays I'm change the time to 9 a.m. on first Wednesday is like like today we're going to do 4:30 p.m. we're going to start creating a parent newsletter that will come home on the second Wednesdays that will have updates and animation for families specific to Cienega and also District news they will be important for families and then I want to start a new program a community Story Time program on Fourth Wednesdays translate and then I'll explain that the story time with Uncle Dina last Las pasiones Amelia payment after the community storytime the idea is to have an interactive Story Time on Zoom where we select books that would be appropriate for the grade levels open a couple of breakout rooms and have a different storytellers come and read the stories and guide through some reading practices and some discussion questions around the story that gets selected each month and also have some baseboards and activities that students can do at home with their families around the story that's being read to have an interactive process to attend to the love of reading and improve some reading skills and make more of an interactive process with reading at home with the families as well to give just increased access for families to insane gauge with the learning process at home and make that build on that connection to the school in the home for reading what is the weather in Lafayette College in Pennsylvania can delinquent anisette restaurant Nassau Street you know I'm interested as not many Republicans and send it and then I got to go okay just an update on our covid testing for this week because school is closed Friday we don't have covid testing this week and we return to school next week on Wednesday because Monday is Tuesday the school is closed so this is just a reminder students are not going to be required to test before they return to school on if you would like to go and schedule an appointment and take your your children or your family's to get tested you are welcome to but it is not required we will be testing with the mobile testing team here on campus on Friday September 10th mosquito information. but you know that's what you're missing Alabama horchata recipe okay so here is where a lot of new information comes in the district has sized the quarantine isolation guidelines for our district stove for unvaccinated students which is all of our children because there's not a vaccine for children under 12 if an unvaccinated student should test for covid so if a student is identified as a close contact and they are quarantined they would test for covid at day 5 or later and if that test result is negative and they are asymptomatic they can now return to school on day 8 as long as we have proof of a negative covid test I said the initial sting 60 + 7 or a student is identified as a close contact that is unpack summated if they do not read test for covid after they were identified as a close contact they must complete the whole 10 day quarantine and then they could return on the 11th day as long as they remain asymptomatic during their quarantine what is the dentist in Missoula, Montana on Syria, Alabama. in all scenarios all students to continue to monitor their health for 14 days and make sure that they're not developing any symptoms outside of there during their quarantine Cedar Rapids airport. McDonald's in areas a little Moses in distress oxide by the policy. if a student has developed covid-19 related symptoms we do send them to home immediately and they would be directed to test again to see if they are positive for covid it was never meant a a limited area Seattle, and so one of the major changes with this revision is that the close contact cases are now no longer going to be required to go through Community engagement to be return to campus so the current policy in order to return to campus the students were being asked to have an exit interview with Community engagement and Community engagement is currently very overwhelmed and it's taking a really long time time to get those exit interviews and so students are staying out beyond their quarantine. Because they couldn't get the exit interviews we are now going to handle that exit interview process and return students to campus from the school site so we will begin calling families tomorrow to have those conversations and determine if your child is ready to come back to school Metallica sandman but I do in photosynthesis Wella t18. Oka what I said okay so I said I would I look a little different this is okay no social leprosy so for example if you do have a child who is currently under quarantine and they've already completed attend a quarantine we will begin calling you tomorrow so that we can handle the exit interview conversation that needs to happen and we will let you know when your student can return to school as soon as tomorrow or you know Jason schools will be closed Friday Rat Rod status Coronavirus want to get fit and then students who are symptomatic must be isolated regardless of vaccination and testing status so if the student is quarantined and they do have symptoms did you have to continue to isolate they lost the covid-19 spell isolation is the term used if a student has tested positive for covid so a confirmed positive case students have a confirmed positive case must complete the entire 10-day isolation. And be cleared by Community engagement so the School site is not processing the exit interviews if you have a confirmed positive case those will still Candle by Community engagement is history on Play Music Desi restaurant. SS formula Brena Desai I just want to clarify one point that I forgot to put on why which is that but the isolation. If you have a covid positive test it's a minimum 10-day isolation if you have symptoms if you're still ill after the 10-day isolation is up you still continue to isolate so you do have to be you have to be better write the symptoms after the minute you have to be healthy again to in order to end the isolation. And return to school in Mesquite at 7:00 can an episode airs yes yes yes yes yes yes when it says You must another thing that has been announced this week is that when students are out for isolation and quarantine or any covid related absence beginning when we return on Wednesday a teacher's will begin providing synchronous daily instruction via Zoom for students who are out so if the students are absent for any covid related reason they will have access to zoom instruction with their regular teacher in the play Naruto assistant my run until 9 and this is Audi Tempest I think I found them in bed by the klf what is dinner I love you thank God it said it's the teachers will still provide instruction activities for students and students who are absent for covid related are reported as excused absences on a Corvette set America Moana song sign that has a lot of information so I want to make sure that I can hear any comments or questions that you may have and I will take this down so that she better play it evening my sweet happy that you have a family and I hope we could grow a close relationship with you what's the volume now we welcome them with open arms I guess my question is when do the students that do eventually you know what isolation or are asking for the covid-19 the school exist or will we still get funding for those with him since we typically don't receive money from school that is something that the district is working with the state of California on getting Claire station 4 I'm not a hundred percent sure if if it will be a few no impact the funding at all McLennan translator Escuela West Oaks Eleazar accelerated other questions other comments hi good afternoon I'm going to coffee talk soon they're changing now today I only had about five minutes before I saw call Big notice and barely was able to make it on time.

Samantha Leon Acosta okay so your first question about the zoom availability the teachers will have resume available each day that they have a student out for isolation or quarantine due to covid related recent so the zoom won't necessarily be available every single day because it is only for covid related absences Infosys Robert glasses what's 2 + 1 and then for the notification letters anytime we do have a covid positive case at a school site we send a notification home to all of the families and communities so everybody has the right to know there's been that impact at the school site so that's about the general notice so that everybody gets you know the the information if a child has been identified as a close contact you will get a personal call Merced Elementary on my list of status of Paris Castle and when when a student is identified as a close contact you'll get the personal call with that notification we will be very explicit in telling you that the student was identified as a close contact they need to quarantine and we'll go over that procedure with you and we will also provide you with the documentation from La Department of Public Health with the instructions for home quarantine isolation Elementary incontact this was a socialist president any other question erestaurant but I want to ask you a question Harry yes okay so there is a good teachers union they wants leusd to require vaccinations for eligible students with that fall under our children or it right now there is not a requirement for students to be vaccinated if that guy changes everybody will know right right now there is no vaccine for children under 12 that's not something that could be mandated for children at this age okay yeah just asking cuz I know there's a lot of things going around 2 and I saw this this post where like it's hard about how I like in a different state where like they actually vaccinating elementary kids without the parents consent so you know I just want to make sure that our kids are safe okay leusd is not care mandating vaccines and and there's not a mandate for there's not a mandatory vaccine approved for children under 12 at this time okay great thank you establish and okay calzone SMS system. did they do stay on you shut up unus annus and it at all multiplication I want us commentary the quiet room today I went to Sarah's at the bottom for the DS DS it doesn't mean that I want a husband a contact that is if the Vietnamese Domino set play System El otro lado esta el Tracy this was so much I was in contact with somebody that's just the 10 days have half of our almost done I will let you know when will my child be coming back cuz I'm on the 8th I'm sorry that he won't be coming back if it's the holiday.
