Magnet Middle School Information for our Grade 5 Parents and Students
Dear Alamosa Park Grade 5 Students and Parents,
All VUSD 5th grade families will be receiving letters in the mail from Vista Magnet Middle School (VMMS) and Vista Innovation & Design Academy (VIDA) very soon. Please click HERE for VMMS information and HERE for VIDA information.
Please visit the VMMS and VIDA websites for videos that describe their schools and for any additional information.

Winter Break is 12/19/20 – 01/03/21 (School Resumes on Monday, January 4, 2021)
At the VUSD Board Meeting last night (Thursday, 12/17/20), our school board elected to have all students in VUSD elementary schools start on Monday, January 4, in virtual learning. After much discussion about how to address the community spread of the virus, our School Board took action to implement a one week pause on all in-person learning at the elementary schools after the winter break and pivot to virtual learning. All elementary schools will reconvene for Vista Classic in-person instruction on January 11, 2021. All district supplemental programs (including Dual Language Immersion) are included in this one week pause and will reconvene, in-person, on January 11, 2021. As a result, all Alamosa Park students will be learning from home, virtually during the week of Monday, January 4. On Monday, January 11, Classic students will return to in-person learning at Alamosa Park, and Vista Virtual students will continue learning virtually. Your child’s teacher will be in touch with you about guidance for student work when we return in 2021!!

I wish everyone a fabulous winter break, a great Holiday Season, and Happy New Year!

Please feel free to contact me at any time for any questions (760-940-0700 x49001).
Thank you for your continued support of your student at Alamosa Park Elementary School. Students, please continue "Going for the Gold" and Go Hawks!

Sincerely,
Principal Ruggles
(760) 940-0700 x49001

Upcoming Dates to Know:

Health & Safety Communication from Principal Ruggles

I would like to take a moment to describe my communication to our community regarding Health & Safety as it related to COVID-19. There are typically three different reasons that you would be notified of situations relating to COVID-19 health and safety.
  1. Symptoms: Should your child have any symptoms that are typically associated with COVID-19 symptoms, you will be contacted by Alamosa Park school nurse or office staff with next steps for your child, which is typically either a 10-calendar day quarantine, or a negative PCR COVID test and 72 hours of no symptoms. Your child’s teacher will provide your child with classwork during the time they miss school.
  2. Close Contact or “Exposed to Exposed”: If your child or your child’s class has been in close contact with another individual who was reported to our office as someone who was recently a close contact to an individual who has recently tested positive for COVID-19, I will notify your child’s class that it is possible that your child may have had close contact with someone who is a close contact of an individual who tested positive. In this case, there is no need for the class to quarantine.
  3. Positive COVID-19 Case: If your child has been in close contact (within 6 feet or closer for a time period of 15 or more minutes) with someone who has recently tested positive for COVID-19, every student in the class of the student or staff member who tested positive for COVID-19 will be contacted by me and will be placed into a 14-calendar day quarantine. Either your child’s teacher will pivot to virtual learning or your child’s teacher will provide your child with classwork during the time they miss school.
I refer to the Decision Guide for COVID-19 Symptoms & Exposures (San Diego County office of Education)  in order to determine next steps in each health and safety situation for our students and staff. All of the Health and Safety information, including our Alamosa Park COVID-19 Prevention Plan is located on the top of the Alamosa Park web page (please click HERE).

Learning Model Registration information:

You may have recently submitted to me your request for a learning model change for January 2021. At this time, I do not have any final details or information to share with families about any learning model changes for January 2021. As I receive any information regarding learning model consideration and potential changes, I will communicate this to the families who have submitted a request to change their learning model for January 2021. Thank you for your patience.
