Overview

Our District follows the protocols and guidance provided by the California Department of Public Health (CDPH). The Alameda County Public Health Department has the ability to provide stricter guidance than the State, at which time we would defer to our County guidance. Currently, both our State and County are aligned in their recommended actions for COVID-19.

In an effort to minimize the spread of COVID-19 within our school communities, please follow the CDPH guidance outlined below.
