School Closure Extension Announced for Calaveras County Schools
Angels Camp, CA...Based on the recommendations from Dr. Dean Kelaita of the Calaveras County Public Health Department, the Calaveras County superintendents have made a unified, regional decision to extend school closures for at least as long as California Governor Gavin Newsom’s ‘Stay at Home Order’ is in effect. The safety and wellness of students, families and school personnel continues to be the highest priorities of Calaveras County schools and districts. The Calaveras County Office of Education is working closely with local agencies and will provide updated information as it becomes available.
 
Based on Governor Newsom’s comments, parents and students should approach school closures more as a long-term situation rather than short term. Students and families should reach out to their schools for instructional materials and support. It remains very important that students complete their assigned work and work closely with their schools to ensure they are academically on track.
“Schools play a vital role in community, we will provide what is needed to support distance learning for our students, and serve the families to ensure critical learning opportunities and resources are available,” said Calaveras County Superintendent Scott Nanik. “We would like to get our students and staff back into the classroom as soon as possible, we understand how challenging this is for our students, families and faculty.”
In order to slow the spread of novel Coronovirus (COVID-19) we ask that our community continue to adhere to the ‘Stay at Home Order’ and stay at home except for essential activities until further notification. We urge you to keep practicing the guidance provided by Public Health including:
-Social Distancing
-Washing hands often with soap and water
-Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth
-Staying home if you are feeling sick
-Contacting your health provider if you are experiencing any symptoms such as fever, cough, or difficulty breather.
-Engaging in regular exercise or physical activity
Contact information for each school site can be located on the Calaveras County Office of Education website at www.ccoe.k12.ca.us. Updated information on the novel Coronovirus (COVID-19) can be found at www.ccoe.k12.ca.us/coronavirus/
