Travel Advisory Memo Dated: 11/13/2020 from the State of California—Health and Human Services Agency California Department of Public Health

Good afternoon,

In accordance with the “Travel Advisory Memo” dated 11/13/2020, Yuba County Office of Education (YCOE) and I are asking our school family to adhere to the guidelines in this memo. There are significant ways outlined below that these guidelines will specifically impact our school and programs.

“The incidence of COVID-19 is increasing in many states and countries. Persons arriving in California from other states or Californians returning from other states or countries could increase the risk of COVID-19 spread. In addition, travel itself can be a risk for exposure to COVID-19, particularly travel through shared conveyance such as air, bus or rail travel.

Travel Advisory for Non-Essential Travel

1. Persons arriving in California from other states or countries, including returning California residents, should practice self-quarantine for 14 days after arrival. These persons should limit their interactions to their immediate household. This recommendation does not apply to individuals who cross state or country borders for essential travel.

2. Californians are encouraged to stay home or in their region and avoid non-essential travel to other states or countries. Avoiding travel can reduce the risk of virus transmission and bringing the virus back to California.”

Cynthia Soares, YCCPCS Principal

Learning Continuity and Attendance Plan (LCP)

The Learning Continuity and Attendance Plan (Learning Continuity Plan) is a key part of the overall budget package for K-12 that seeks to address funding stability for schools while providing information at the local educational agency (LEA) level for how student learning continuity will be addressed during the COVID-19 crisis in the 2020–21 school year. The Learning Continuity Plan replaces the LCAP for the 2020–21 school year.

The Learning Continuity Plan template memorializes the planning process already underway for the 2020–21 school year and includes descriptions of the following: addressing gaps in learning; conducting meaningful stakeholder engagement; maintaining transparency; addressing the needs of unduplicated pupils, students with unique needs, and students experiencing homelessness; providing access to necessary devices and connectivity for distance learning; providing resources and supports to address student and staff mental health and social emotional well-being; and continuing to provide school meals for students.

We are pleased to announce that USDA has extended the waiver to provide meals to all children 18 years and under.  Starting on Tuesday, September 8, free meals are available for all children.  

Meal punch cards are available for non-enrolled children and will be provided during the meal pick up drive-thru service.  Please continue to bring the punch card for enrolled students.  If you have not received your child’s meal punch card, please let serving staff know at your next visit to pick up meals.  

Parents/guardians may pick up meals for children with or without them present, however, meal punch cards are required. Only one meal bag is allowed per child per day. 

Multiple meals will be provided, including a hot lunch, and a supper and snack for later in the day, plus breakfast for the next morning. In addition, the Friday meal bags will include suppers and snacks for Saturday and Sunday.

Meals may be picked up at any of the locations provided in this message.
