Hello Allen Families and Staff,
Good news! San Diego County will move into the Orange Tier of the state’s COVID-19 prevention framework on Wednesday, April 7, further easing restrictions and allowing more indoor activities. However, this means we cannot let our guard down. Please continue to wear a mask, wash your hands, maintain physical distancing, and get the vaccine when you are eligible to do so. More information can be found here:

Families who will drop off and pick up their children in the hybrid model will drop off students in front of Daly Academy or at the Kindergarten gate (according to grade level), per the graphic below:
Only students in the Distance Learning Support Program, students walking to school, and students who arrive late will enter campus via the front school gates. No parents or volunteers will be allowed on campus.
CVESD Safe!
As part of our District’s efforts to help mitigate the spread of COVID-19, CVESD will offer viral and antibody testing the week of April 5 to all staff, students, and families. This is the period after spring break, and before the start of hybrid instruction on April 12. Testing will be available 9 am to 4:30 pm, with no testing taking place between 12 noon and 1 pm. The dates and locations are:
- Monday, April 5 @ Vista Square Elementary, 540 G Street, Chula Vista, 91910.

The antibody test consists of a light fingerprick; results as quickly as 15 minutes for those who stay around for their results. The viral test is the shallow nose swab test; results available within three-to-four business days. Learn more here: Viral Test for COVID-19
Testing is voluntary. Participants have the option of only doing one of the tests or both, and they are offered at no cost (covered through health insurance or reimbursable to testing provider Kahala Biosciences under the CARES Act for those who do not have insurance). Per requests, immediate family/household members are also eligible to participate.

Thanks again for your support of CVESD Safe!, our voluntary testing and tracing program. Look for emails and other announcements regarding additional testing opportunities in subsequent weeks as well.
Be well Eagles! Stay safe: Wear a mask. We encourage everyone to get the COVID-19 vaccine when you are eligible to do so. We miss you and we are excited about having students returning to campus via the hybrid model on April 12th!
