January 18, 2022 (traduccion abajo) Dear HSHMC Families, Happy New Year! As we approach the beginning of our Spring semester, we know these remain uncertain times and the COVID pandemic continues to challenge so many decisions we need to make as individuals, as organizations, and as a community. Nobody seems to have a crystal ball that can predict how these challenges will resolve or what challenges lie before us. We are encouraged by the advice we have received from medical experts predicting that the current COVID-19 surge is a temporary situation. However, the current surge reminds us we must continue to be prepared and act to safely offer educational services. And we will do everything possible to continue to keep our school and classrooms open. Currently, we are experiencing a high number of absences of both staff and students. This in part is a result of our strict quarantine procedures. Your patience and support during this time has been amazing. There are some certainties, however. HSHMC will continue to take every step we can to provide a quality and safe learning experience. The vaccination mandate, passed on 10/12/21, by the HSHMC Board of Directors added to the safety and welfare of our students, staff, and community. The plan has been highly successful.  More recently, on January 13, 2022, the Board extended vaccination requirements to include booster shots for all eligible students and staff to remain part of the HSHMC community. Our next vaccination/booster clinic will be held on campus on February 7, and we encourage any, and all, family members to come in for their shots. These measures are complemented by our mask enforcement policy, ongoing testing, and strict adherence to stay at home and quarantine guidelines. All these decisions follow guidelines and recommendations from various local, state, and national school, public and health organizations, including the CDC. Our policies and practices will continue to be updated based on the guidelines and requirements of these organizations. At this time the science is in and the use of three-ply masks, including N95s, have proven to be much more effective than cloth masks. We encourage you to make that switch. We have been advised that San Diego Unified School District has not ruled out declaring COVID Impact Days in specific situations and if it was absolutely necessary, we might follow suit. However, our goal is to stay open and stay safe. We might also limit certain extra-curricular activities and events during high surge times. We will do what we need to be responsive and responsible. In the meantime, we are so proud of the staff and students who show up here each day to share in teaching and learning. Witnessing their efforts and accomplishments makes all this work worth it. Every day, exciting things are happening, and our staff and students are going above and beyond to make that happen. We know from talking with our educational colleagues and parents from other schools that what is happening here remains unique. We want [...]
