School News

This updated information was received from the Santa Clara County Health Department (SCCHD) regarding Covid testing requirements following an absence with Covid Symptoms. This should help to shorten the time for students to be out of school following an absence due to illness. Please keep in mind that students must still be symptom & medication free for 24 hours prior to returning to school. 

Please continue to use our  24 hour attendance line to report absences for your student(s).  Be sure to include the name of your child(ren), grade, date, reason for the absence and  include any symptoms that they are experiencing. Absences should be reported each morning that a student is absent from school regardless of the reason for the absence. Our 24 hour attendance number is: 408-341-7076

Message from the Santa Clara County Public Health Department (SCCPHD):

The SCCPHD recently announced a change in the testing requirements.  For a symptomatic individual, a negative antigen (rapid) test is sufficient to indicate the individual is negative, there is no requirement for waiting for a PCR confirmation unless you have had a positive result.

Another change, if an antigen test shows positive and the individual tests negative with PCR, the individual is considered negative for COVID.  

Acceptable proof of COVID test results:

• A printed document from the lab or test provider

• An electronic test result displayed on a phone or other device from the test provider or lab. Note: home testing continues to not be accepted.

• Information should include the person's name, type of test administered, negative test result, and date of test.

November is the beginning of the holiday season.  It is a time for us to reflect on all of the things that are positive in our lives. Here are some of the many things that our staff is thankful for this year:

• Our wonderful students who come to school every day ready to learn and work hard to achieve their goals

• Our fantastic community who has always been so supportive of our school

• Our amazing staff and colleagues who always do their best to serve our students

• Parents who have completed the rigorous volunteer process and are helping in our classrooms, before or after school in our parking lots, or at lunch time. 

We appreciate all of the support that you provide to make our school a wonderful place to be! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!!

Dear Marshall Lane Community Members,

We hope that you had a wonderful long weekend with your families. Our teachers participated in a Professional Development Day on Monday. We analyzed the data that we recently collected from assessing our students, worked with our math coach to identify instructional supports, and had a presentation about reading and literacy instruction from our reading intervention teacher and the district literacy coach. It is always very helpful for our teachers to have time to collaborate and discuss student achievement in order to benefit the children at our school.

Thank you all so much for participating in Parent/Teacher Conferences. Teachers have reported a high level of attendance and the fact that they were able to have productive conversations with so many of you. Educating our children is a partnership and we appreciate your input and assistance.

Every year, the Campbell Union School District collects information from students, teachers, parents, and other staff members in order to inform our work going forward.  By now, you should have received a message in your inbox requesting that you complete the Panorama survey. Please do so at your earliest convenience so we can take your opinion into account.

As always, thank you so much for your help and support!

Regards,

Priscilla Spencer
