I continue to be impressed and proud of all the work the team here in Eureka City Schools is doing for our students. Your dedication to making the best out of a horrible situation continues to shine. I know it is not easy, but your efforts are noticed by me, the Board and our community. Thank you. In the spirit of "the show must go on," we are continuing our hiring process. Some of you have been called upon to serve "virtually" on our interview panels for hiring new staff. This is true for the principal position at Lafayette Elementary as well. We had an initial pool of 15 applicants that we narrowed down through a paper screen and multiple rounds of interviews to find our new principal. The competition was high.

This Friday, April 10, the second round of TK-5th grade student distance learning packets will be available for pick-up at your child’s school. This work packet will cover a 4-week period that begins on April 20th. For your convenience, there will be two packet pick-up times this Friday; 11 AM to 1 PM and 5 PM to 6:30 PM. Since each packet is personalized, you will need to go to your child’s specific school site for pick-up. As you drive-up, a staff member will bring the packet to your vehicle, and we ask that you stay in your vehicle to ensure that we adhere to mandatory social distance protocols.

It is with a heavy heart that I deliver this evening’s message. Tonight, the Eureka City Schools Board of Trustees took action to extend the distance learning model for our students through the end of the school year. Traditional face-to-face instruction is scheduled to resume next fall, unless the Humboldt County Office of Public Health advises us it is safe for students and staff to return to school. It is important that learning continues despite the closure of our school sites. At this point, graduations and promotions have not been canceled, but a final determination will be made as we get closer to these dates. The impact of the coronavirus is tragic and this is just another impact our community is feeling.

Es con gran pesar que entrego el mensaje de esta noche. Esta noche, la Junta de Síndicos de las Escuelas de la Ciudad de Eureka tomó medidas para extender el modelo de aprendizaje a distancia para nuestros estudiantes hasta el final del año escolar. La instrucción tradicional en persona se reanudará el próximo otoño, a menos que la Oficina de Salud Pública del Condado de Humboldt nos informe que es seguro que los estudiantes y el personal regresen a la escuela. Es importante que el aprendizaje continúe a pesar del cierre de nuestros sitios escolares. En este punto, las graduaciones y promociones no han sido canceladas, pero se tomará una determinación final a medida que nos acerquemos a esas fechas.

As we start our day today, we are all in the same unexpected place: a place of realization that life has changed. Our new “normal,” for now at least, is very different from what it was early last week. While some adults can continue working, others cannot, and many are working from home and trying to shuffle the reality of a workday along with children who have had their routines turned upside down. This is the same reality faced by teachers within Humboldt County, as they work diligently to provide distance learning to students, despite the challenges. Eureka City Schools is home to a preschool, four elementary sites, two middle schools, two high schools, and an online virtual school. In total, teachers are committed to educating over 3,600 students within our community. Over the past couple of days, all Eureka City Schools’ staff worked together to prepare packets, and virtual classrooms, for what could be an extended distance-learning environment. Preparation has consisted of contacting parents and guardians, prepping packets/virtual classrooms for continued learning, and establishing a stable routine for students and families.

I want to start by recognizing how amazing our staff here at Eureka City Schools are! They have been working countless hours to prepare the extended learning for our students. As they make personal phone calls to you over this period of schools being closed, I encourage you to thank them for their monumental efforts. Please note, in the coming weeks, teachers will be personally contacting you and/or your students via telephone. Many of these calls will have a caller ID of unknown. Today, we served over 2,000 meals to the children in our community. We also disseminated thousands of learning packets. If you have been unable to get your packets, school busses will be delivering packets, breakfast, and lunch, at the normal times and bus stops for morning school pick-up.

¡Quiero comenzar reconociendo lo increíble que es nuestro personal aquí en las Escuelas de la Ciudad de Eureka! Han estado trabajando innumerables horas para preparar el aprendizaje extendido para nuestros estudiantes. Mientras te hacen llamadas telefónicas personales durante este período de cierre de escuelas, te animo a agradecerles por sus esfuerzos monumentales. Tenga en cuenta que en las próximas semanas, los maestros se comunicarán personalmente con usted y / o sus estudiantes por teléfono. Muchas de estas llamadas tendrán un identificador de llamadas desconocido.

For Eureka High School, Principal Johnson will be sending out another message with directions just for that site. Tomorrow, the buses will be running their morning routes to distribute breakfast and lunch and packets for the preschool through 8th grade students.
