Parents Corner:

Harvest of the Month:

This week students will be tasting multicolor carrots from First Rain Organic Farm near Nevada City. Did you know while the root of the carrot is most commonly eaten, the leafy green tops are also edible and quite nutritious. Carrots are rich in beta carotene, an antioxidant form of vitamin A. Beta carotene is important for eyesight, skin, and growing bodies. They are also good sources of vitamin B6 and vitamin K. As a member of the Apiaceae family, carrots are cousins of celery, fennel, and parsley.

Parents of Eighth Grade Students:

Ghidotti Early College High School is now accepting applications for the 2022 school year. Application deadline is January 29, 2021. Information and the application are available at

https://sites.google.com/njuhsd.com/ghidottiapplication2021.

A note about this year: COVID has impacted just about every aspect of our lives and Ghidotti's application process is no different. Most years we screen applicants to make sure they're at grade-level (ready for 9th grade math, English, and Biology), but this year the usual measurements are either unavailable or unreliable. So, we're going to assume all applicants are at grade-level. If there are more applicants than spaces available, selection will be made through a lottery.

Parents of Hybrid/Blended Students:

Please log in to your parent portal and read and sign the Parent Agreement. We are going into uncharted territories and we need your help. Everything that we have learned about the prevention of COVID-19 has indicated that we are only as strong as our weakest link. We, as a district, have worked hard to create systems that minimize the risks to our students and staff, but there may still be risk present. Please sign that you will take the following steps to keep the whole community safe and allow use to continue to offer in-person classes with our students. Daily Symptom Checklist

I/We will commit...

to complete the daily symptom check of my student before I place them on a bus or send them to campus
to notify my student's school if there are any health concerns and take the steps outlined in the Daily Symptom Checklist.
to sending my child to school with a mask and support the school in making sure all students are compliant in all safety protocols.
I understand that even with all safety precautions that are being taken, there is always the risk that exposure to COVID-19 may occur.

Thank you for supporting our schools.

There will not be in-person instruction but rather only distance learning physical education. We will gain the benefits of physical activity and developing healthy habits together virtually through their Google Classroom.

Google Classroom

This is where you will see the syllabus, assignments, activities, videos and communication. Students can access this through their google email and going to the waffle (google applications). Please do not hesitate to contact Mr. Griffin through google classroom or email [email protected]. Physical Activity Log (PAL): There will be an activity log put into google classroom and will also be available in hard-copy in the school office. The PAL will be worth the majority of your grade. 25 Points for each weekly log. See attached. Students will be required to participate in moderate-vigorous exercise for at least 30-40 minutes five days a week. This will vary between required workouts posted in google classroom and student’s choice.
