					<description><![CDATA[Erin’s Law requires schools to implement an age-appropriate sexual assault and abuse awareness and prevention curriculum for grades TK through 12.
 
Victor Pacini, a survivor of sexual abuse, author and motivational speaker, will be assisting our schools in implementing this mandate.  Be Seen and Heard, Mr. Pacini’s assembly program, is developmentally appropriate, interactive, and aligned with learning standards.   The assemblies are presented in specific grade level groups to ensure that the message is age appropriate for all students.  The focus of the presentation is to teach children basic skills to keep them safe from dangerous or abusive situations. The concepts that will be discussed are:
 
Distinguishing safe from unsafe touches
Safe/Unsafe Secrets
It’s not the child’s fault if someone touches him or her
Telling a trusted adult
Safety rules at home and school
Saying “NO” 
 
Mr. Pacini or his colleague will be presenting virtually at all sites.  

November 4:  Middle school grades 6-8 at Latimer and EDS
November 5:  All elementary grades TK-5 and ISP students
November 8:  All grades 6-8 at MMS
November 10:  5th grade at Payne (alternate day due to science camp)
 
We hosted a well-attended parent informational evening to preview the information that will be shared with the students in the assemblies on October 5, 2021.  If you were unable to attend and you would like additional information about this year’s presentation, please view this short “PEACE OF MIND” video at www.victorpacini.com/peace-of-mind-2/.

If you would like to opt your child out of this assembly, please complete the following Google Form by Friday, October 29. Please complete one form per child.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[On September 23rd, the CDC released clearer guidelines for masking.  In checking with our Santa Clara County Department of Health, Dr. Fenstersheib agreed that school districts need to be following the CDC guidance for masks. Specifically, he stated that if you hold your mask up to the sun and you can see through it, it should not be used. Here are the CDC recommendations:
All Moreland students will need to wear masks that meet these requirements while on campus. If your student’s mask is unsuitable given these guidelines, your school front office has free masks available.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[As the weather changes, and it begins to get dark earlier, this is a good time to remind your children of the following safety rules. 
1)      Travel with a friend, or better yet a group of friends when riding bikes or walking to or from school or other destinations.
2)      Stay away from and never go into a car with a stranger
3)      Move away from a car that pulls up beside them if they do not know the driver
4)      Children should always tell parents where they are going.  Adults should always leave a note at home when they are going for a walk too, noting their destination of route in case of emergency.
Children are our most precious resource and it is our responsibility as parents and teachers to safeguard children and to teach them the skills to be safe.  Together we can protect our children by teaching them to be smart, strong, and safe.  Have a great weekend.]]></description>

The County has information and resources to support community members impacted by the crisis.

To read guidance to help reduce the spread of COVID-19, protect the health of the entire community, and provide support and resources to those who have traveled recently, click here.

					<description><![CDATA[On Tuesday night, in the regular COVID update to the Board of Trustees, we presented the data about why Moreland will stay in the current Hybrid schedule for the rest of this school year.  I welcome you to watch the video from the meeting to hear first hand all the information as to why we are staying the course, as well as what steps we are taking to open schools fully (five days a week, full days) in the fall if the Governor presents that as an option.  Currently, 84% of our students have returned in-person, and merging cohorts would not allow us to continue to follow our approved plan of 4-6 feet distancing in the classrooms.  We are allowing students from the Distance Learning Program to onboard to hybrid in-person instruction in both elementary and middle school.  Thank you for your patience and understanding during this pandemic.  As we see in other countries, the virus continues to be a significant issue. Our careful response at this time provides greater opportunity for students to be in school fully in the fall.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Erin’s Law’s law requires schools to implement an age-appropriate sexual assault and abuse awareness and prevention curriculum for grades TK-8.  Victor Pacini, a survivor of sexual abuse, author and motivational speaker, will be assisting our schools in implementing this mandate. Mr. Pacini’s assembly program, Be Seen and Heard, is developmentally appropriate, interactive, and aligned with learning standards.  The assemblies are presented in specific grade level groups to ensure that the message is age appropriate for all students.  The focus of the presentation is to teach children basic skills to keep them safe from dangerous or abusive situations. The concepts that will be discussed are:
 
Distinguishing safe from unsafe touches 		
Saying “NO”                                          		
It’s not the child’s fault if someone touches him or her
Telling a trusted adult    
Safety rules at home and school
Safe/unsafe secrets        

Students will attend the Zoom assembly in late March.  The exact time of the assembly will be shared with you as we get closer to the assembly date.  If you choose for your child to not participate in the assembly, there will be an opt out form for you to complete.

To learn more about the content of the assembly, you are invited to attend a parent informational meeting on Thursday, March 10 at 5:30 p.m. - 6:30 p.m.

					<description><![CDATA[I am writing today to inform you that Moreland Schools will not be implementing a hybrid model beginning in January due to significant increasing numbers of cases in our county and across the state and country, and will instead continue in full distance learning.  As our county enters the purple tier, with higher numbers than ever before, it is not prudent nor possible for our schools to move toward in-person instruction at this time.  Again, the safety of staff and students is our first priority.  Our intended decision date was December 1, 2020, but we are making this announcement today to provide some peace and clarity in your lives as you enter your much needed vacation week.  We will reevaluate the status of COVID in January 2021, with an announcement in early February.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Dear Moreland Staff, Families, and Community Members,

After dedicating 35 years to public education, Superintendent Dr. Mary Kay Going will begin her much deserved retirement at the end of this 2020-2021 school year. We are so fortunate that she spent the last six of those years of her career with us in Moreland. I would like to take a moment to thank her for her dedicated service and reflect with the community on just a few of the many successes the district has achieved under Dr. Going’s consistent, data-driven, compassionate and equity-focused leadership since 2015, and what our next steps are in planning for a smooth and positive transition to our next superintendent]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Local County Health Officials Offer Guidance on How to Celebrate Halloween and Día de Los Muertos Safely and Prevent Spreading COVID-19 Among Friends and Neighbors
Bay Area health officials remind residents that many commonly celebrated Halloween and Día de Los Muertos activities carry high risk for spreading COVID-19.  Focusing on decorations, limiting activities to the people you live with, and virtual costume parties or contests will help keep our communities safe this season, especially our children. Together, we all need to do as much as we can to protect ourselves and those around us.
 
For instance, trick-or-treating is a high-risk activity, because it increases contact with people outside of your household who may not be as careful about COVID-19 prevention. Parties are high-risk, because mixing among people who don’t live in the same home introduces more opportunities for the virus to pass from one person to another. Bay Area contact tracing has shown that gathering and mixing are key contributors to infection. 
 
These holidays are no different than the rest of the year when it comes to reducing the spread of COVID-19. Stay home if you feel sick or have come into close contact with someone who has COVID-19; wear a face covering whenever you leave home; and keep your distance from others (even relatives) who don’t live in your household, and remember that being outside is safer than being inside, especially in combination with face covering and keeping your distance. Consider using a themed cloth mask, as a costume mask is not a substitute. Avoid wearing a costume mask over a protective cloth mask because it can be dangerous if the costume mask makes it hard to breathe.
 
County of Santa Clara residents are reminded that local and State Health Officer Orders are still in effect. Halloween gatherings, Día de los Muertos celebrations, events or parties with non-household members are not permitted unless they are conducted in compliance with local and State Health Orders: https://www.sccgov.org/sites/covid19/Pages/mandatory-directives-gatherings.aspx.
 
Local health officials highly recommend community members participate in lower risk activities to celebrate Halloween and Día de Los Muertos this year:
 
LOWER RISK: Stay home, keep it small
Celebrating Halloween traditions like carving pumpkins or a scavenger hunt-style trick-or-treat search with your household members in your home.
Visiting an outdoor pumpkin patch, while wearing a mask and maintaining distance from others.
Carving or decorating pumpkins outside, at least 6 feet apart while wearing masks, with a very small group of neighbors or friends. Fewer people with more distance is safer.
Having a virtual costume contest.
Dressing up your house, apartment, living space, yard or car with Halloween decoration or decorating homes with images and objects to honor deceased loved ones.
Preparing traditional family recipes with members of your household.
Playing music in your home that your deceased loved ones enjoyed.
Making and decorating masks or making an altar for the deceased.
Participating in vehicle-based gatherings that comply with state and local guidance like drive-in movies and drive-through attractions, or car/bike parades where participants do not leave their vehicles.
Avoid driving in areas where there are many pedestrians.
Spectators should watch from their homes or yards and not gather with people they do not live with.
 
MODERATE RISK: If you must
Participating in one-way trick-or-treating where individually wrapped goodie bags are lined up for families to grab and go while continuing to physically distance (such as at the end of a driveway or at the edge of a yard)
Wash your hands with soap and water for at least 20 second before and after preparing the bags.
Ensure everyone is wearing an appropriate face covering and maintaining a physical distance from others.
Everyone participating should bring hand sanitizer and use it frequently AND wash their hands immediately after coming home.
Candy shouldn’t be eaten while outside the home because that would require both removing the face mask and touching wrappers.
Having a very small group, outdoor, open-air costume parade or movie night where people are distanced more than 6 feet apart and are wearing masks. Fewer people with more distance is safer.
Enjoying themed outdoor dining that complies with state and local guidance or takeout.
 
HIGHER RISK: Please avoid
Participating in traditional trick-or-treating where treats are handed to children who go door-to-door. Although this activity is outdoors, it is higher risk because it brings multiple people from different households together.
Traveling to a rural fall festival that is not in your community if you live in an area with community spread of COVID-19. Doing so can bring COVID-19 into the area and threaten the residents’ lives.
If trick-or-treating is occurring in your neighborhood and you are at home and do not want to be disturbed, you may want to post a sign or turn off your porch light.
 
VERY HIGH RISK or not permitted by State and Local Orders
Attending a crowded party held indoors or outdoors. Large gatherings, even if they are outdoors, are high risk for spreading COVID-19 and are associated with many cases throughout the Bay Area.
Sharing, eating, drinking, speaking loudly or singing amongst others outside of your household.
Haunted houses or indoor mazes.
Having trunk-or-treat where treats are handed out from trunks of cars lined up in large parking lots.
To further protect yourself and your loved ones, be sure to monitor yourself during the 14 days after these holidays and pay particular attention from days 3 - 7 after the holidays when you are most likely to develop symptoms. If you don’t feel well or you learn someone you had close contact with tested positive, get tested immediately and stay home until your appointment and while you wait for your results. To learn more about symptoms and testing, visit sccfreetest.org.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[On October 9, 2020, the following message went out to parents via email and text.  If you did not receive this message, please contact your school office to confirm your contact information is correct.
When we began our school year in Distance Learning, we set a target date for reviewing our decision on October 1, 2020.  Last week, our principals and district office administrators met to discuss the newly released Reopening Guidelines published by the Santa Clara County Office of Education, the data from the parent survey, and the data from the staff survey. We also discussed possible schedules for opening general education classes, budget ramifications of various reopening situations, and what other districts around us are doing.  

After reviewing all this information, we are sharing today that we will remain in Distance Learning through December.  We will, however, continue to grow and support our current “hybrid” model of opening more satellite programs on all campuses’ in ways that make the most sense for each school site.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[September 2020


Dear Moreland Community,

We launched our year unlike any other and as I reflect on the past few months, I am continually grateful for the partnership we have with our families and community that allowed for the strongest start possible in these very strange times.  The relationships in the Moreland School district are strong and the dedication to students even stronger.  

The Moreland staff - teachers, support staff, and leaders - have gone above and beyond to support our students at home and in school for a small number of students in our satellite programs.  The parents of our children have also gone to extraordinary lengths to provide the best possible learning environment for your students at school.  You have shared with us your ideas, suggestions, appreciation, and concerns and we appreciate that feedback.  

We all want our children to return to a more normal learning environment as soon as possible.  It is challenging for everyone to not have a firm understanding of when that time will come and for many, that creates great stress.  We will continue to communicate the possibilities as we move through these next few months.

There are many ways to stay in touch with the changing landscape. Below are a few suggestions:

Make sure your contact information is accurate in our system so you do not miss any messages.
Watch for regular communication from your student’s school and from the District.  
Attend Home and School Club meetings. I will be meeting with each group over the next few months to share some updates on our bond project planning and the opening of schools as possible.
Attend a Board meeting to become familiar with the work of our Board of Trustees and District Leadership Team.

We are thrilled to have the opportunity to support your students this year and look forward to their safe return to school.

Sincerely,

Mary Kay Going, Ed.D.
Superintendent]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[On Friday, September 4, 2020, the District sent out a message to families letting them know about a possible adjustment in students’ Wednesday schedule.  Based on feedback that we have received from both elementary and middle school parents, students are experiencing Zoom fatigue, and students and families would like more opportunity for individual outreach.  Additionally, teachers are needing more flexibility in the schedule to address small groups, provide learning opportunities away from the computer, or address individual student needs. Therefore, beginning September 16th, the Wednesday schedule may be changed by your classroom teacher.  Students will still have a full day of learning on these days, however it may look different in that there will be more assignments away from the computer to help reduce screen time, more small group opportunities, or increased 1:1 time with the teacher. Teachers may still include lesson time as they have been. Teachers will still check-in with their classes to take attendance at your school’s start-time.  If your child receives intervention and/or special education support, services may still take place on Wednesdays.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Last Spring, when we closed campuses without much warning, many students had school library books checked out.  We set up return bins at the district office and at some school sites.  We appreciated the diligence in returning these books so they didn’t get lost over the summer.  However, we still have a large amount of books that have not been returned.  Please take the time to look around your house, check backpacks, and other spots where books like to hide.  You can return found library books to your school’s office.]]></description>

Services offered are evidence based, positive and strengths focused, and include individual, group, and whole class therapies in areas such as: stress management, coping and social skills, strategies to deal with grief and loss, anger management, conflict resolution, substance abuse therapy, and academic empowerment.

Parents interested in referring their child to on-site counseling services may contact their child’s school office to obtain referral and consent forms.

El Programa de Orientación del Distrito Escolar de Moreland ofrece apoyo de orientación escolar integral y gratuito a los estudiantes.

Avisos de exposición
Se envían avisos de exposición a las familias para notificarles cuándo sus hijos pudieron haber estado expuestos a una enfermedad contagiosa en la escuela (es decir, estreptococos, impétigo, enfermedades de las manos, alimentos y la boca).

					<description><![CDATA[In the spring of 2020, the US Census will take place.  The census is a count of all people living in the US and takes place every 10 years.  It is simple and confidential to complete.  For the first time, you can respond online.  You will receive a unique identifying number in the mail, which will allow you to fill out the online form beginning March 2020.  Here are some things to know:

Your identity remains anonymous - regardless of immigration status, the information cannot be used against you

The Census is important - it  helps decide how much federal money our school districts get over the next 10 years, and how much our state will get for parks, neighborhood improvements, public health, transportation, etc

The Census is safe - all the data collected is protected under law and remain confidential for 72 years by law.

If you have additional questions, you can learn more here: www.californiacensus.org]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Annually, the district provides a TB clinic for staff and parent volunteers to update their TB results. You may also update your TB results with your physician and/or medical provider.
This year, the district will have a registered nurse on site at the District Office who will perform a verbal risk assessment for TB. No shots!! There is no cost to parent volunteers to use the TB risk assessment clinic.
 We will be conducting the walk-in TB risk assessment clinic 3:00 p.m.—4:30 p.m. at the District Office on the following dates. There is no need to pre-register:
December 3, 2019
December 10, 2019
December 17, 2019 
Please see your office staff for a Risk Assessment form; fill it out and bring it with you. You will meet briefly with the nurse to review your responses. If you do not have any of the risk factors associated with TB, the nurse will sign your form, we'll make a copy for our records, give you a copy, and you’ll be good for another four years.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Second Harvest Food Drive – October 24 to November 13
1 in 4 Silicon Valley residents (700,000 people) are at risk of hunger.  If every student and staff member donated 22 cans, one for each day of the drive, we would donate more than 100,000 cans to help friends in need in our community.  You CAN make a difference!  Please bring your donations of nutritious, non-perishable canned or boxed food (soup, chili, tuna, vegetables, fruit) to your school office.

Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed people can change the world. Indeed. It is the only thing that ever has.  ~ Margaret Mead]]></description>
