Happy New Year Thomas Jefferson Families!

I hope you had a wonderful break filled with moments that made memories.  While this past holiday season was very different I would say that it created cherished memories that will last a lifetime.  A Christmas Eve Zoom call with the family, opening Christmas presents in a garage with masks, and a very quiet New Years' Eve.  I was reminded by the power of moments and how we perceive them can make or break them. I am looking forward to this new year to seize moments and find the good of them.  

Please note that we treasure the moments that we have with our students on campus and in order for us to stay open and not have to quarantine a class we all need to be mindful and follow the safety protocols.  If your child is ill, has any symptoms, or is exposed to someone who has symptoms please keep your child home.  

As we prepare to return to school on January 5, 2021, we want to ensure we

are doing everything we can to bring students and staff back to a healthy

campus environment.

If your child has been exposed to a COVID-19 positive person or received

a positive COVID-19 test result themself, please keep them home and report

the absence using this link to the

RCSD Student Online Absence Reporting Form.

See below for more reporting and absence scenarios developed with Placer

County Public Health Department to keep our schools open. 

 

Please report the following scenarios on the

RCSD Student Online Absence Reporting Form,

keep your child home, and await a call from the

RCSD COVID-19 Tracing Team. 

 

Scenario	Absence to be reported
Child tested positive for COVID-19.	Absent for at least 10 days past the test collection date.
Child lives with or was exposed to a person positive with COVID-19.	Absent for at least 14 days past the last exposure to the positive person.
Child has any COVID-19 related symptoms.	Absent for at least 10 days past symptom onset with significant improvement.    OR    Absent for at least 72 hours with a negative COVID-19 test result, improved symptoms, and no fever or use of fever-reducing medication.

We are looking forward to seeing our TJ Stars back on campus or in their virtual classrooms.  We have missed you.
