Dear OBE families,
I hope you were able to enjoy some special time during this 4 day weekend. I, for one, am very grateful to have had a few days to relax and slow things down a bit. I was fortunate enough to spend time away with my daughters in beautiful Lake Tahoe, hence the late message. It was time well spent but I am very glad to be back home (or on my way home as of this writing).
As was announced last week, SDUSD no longer requires masks to be worn outdoors by students or staff. To be clear, the decision to continue wearing a mask outdoors is up to the student and their family. No child will be asked to remove his or her mask while outdoors. We know these last 23 months have been very challenging for all OBE families and we appreciate your help and support as we get through this year.
This week all families will be getting a survey to gather input regarding their views and perspectives on a variety of school related issues. These results are reported back to the district and to OBE. All responses are anonymous and are useful information to help us hear the voice of families. Our 4th grade students also will have an opportunity to take a student version of the survey. Please look for more information coming this week.
In partnership,
Marco Drapeau
