CUSD Reminder About Spring Break - April 6 Through April 10, 2020

Press release from the Carlsbad Unified School District:

April 3, 2020

Carlsbad Unified families and staff,

Thank you all for your patience and support as we officially rolled out Remote Online Learning this week. We crunched some numbers early in the week, and we had over 10,300 students access instruction through Google Classroom and Google Meet over the first few days; nearly 94% of our students were online and active this week. I’m very impressed with our students and teachers!

Please note that Spring Break is next week (April 6 through 10). Just like a traditional Spring Break, there will be no teacher-led instruction during this time. Remote Online Learning will begin again on Monday, April 13, and will continue for as long as our school facilities are closed.

Students are welcome to access our Extended Learning Activities website during Spring Break. Additionally, there are many great learning activities available at Common Sense Media’s Wide Open School website: https://wideopenschool.org/. You may choose to access these learning resources over Spring Break, or at any time.

Please note that meal service will be available at Carlsbad High School next week, Monday through Thursday, from 11:30 am to 1:00 pm. Friday, April 10 is a district holiday; families will be able to pick up two meals on Thursday, April 9.

We know this is a challenging time for many families. The County of San Diego has compiled a list of mental health resources which you may find useful. As we shared earlier this week, the San Diego County Office of Education also has some resources that may be helpful for you as you help your children deal with the numerous emotions they may be experiencing. Additionally, Live Well San Diego has curated a number of resources on their LiveWell@Home website.

We hope you and your loved ones and healthy and safe at home. Our teachers and staff look forward to reconnecting with students again on Monday, April 13, 2020.

Sincerely,
Dr. Ben Churchill
Superintendent
