Bonny Doon Union Elementary School District Home

We would like to express our deep appreciation and gratitude for our community of students, parents, school personnel, and board members. Thank you for your flexibility, patience, and perseverance as we continue to navigate the ongoing COVID-19 public health crisis. Our community’s ability to adapt, change, and support each other in times of crisis is truly remarkable.

As you know, we have implemented multiple health and safety protocols including cleaning, face covering, and social-distancing measures during COVID-19. We are also committed to informing you of any potential health risks. We therefore want to notify you that a person associated with our school has been diagnosed with COVID-19.

Governor Newsom has announced that Santa Cruz County is one of many counties to move to the Widespread (Purple) Tier within the California Blueprint for a Safer Economy . This announcement immediately increases restrictions for a range of economic activities, including prohibiting schools from expanding to a hybrid schedule. Santa Cruz County Districts and Charter Schools are now reviewing the impact of this announcement on our timelines for expansion of in-person instruction.

Our fall Parent-Teacher Conferences are approaching. Each year, these conferences provide an opportunity for parents/guardians and teachers to discuss student progress. Teachers will be sending out instructions for scheduling these meetings on Friday. Due to the pandemic and the fire, this year’s conferences will be necessarily different from prior years.

Please join the County Superintendent of Schools, all school district Superintendents, charter school leaders, and authorities from our local department of public health for a community Town Hall discussion about school plans to expand in-person services on Monday, Nov 2 at 5 p.m. You may join the zoom webinar at https://santacruzcoe-org.zoom.us/85393550668 or stream the event live from our youtube channel at https://www.youtube.com/santacruzcoe/live

Santa Cruz County School District Superintendents and Charter Schools are committed to expanding in-person instructional programs and services safely. The safety of our students, educators, and families is paramount as our school districts and charter schools make important decisions about returning to in-person instruction.
