Dear Petaluma City Schools Community,

To reduce the spread of COVID 19, Governor Gavin Newsom and State Superintendent Tony Thurmond advised Wednesday that school should continue to take place via distance learning rather than on school campuses throughout the remainder of the 2019-20 school year in California. Petaluma City Schools (PCS) is responding to this guidance by working extremely hard to ensure quality learning opportunities for students via distance learning through the end of the 2019-20 school year.

These measures are necessary to help Petaluma and Sonoma County “flatten the curve” and slow the spread of COVID-19 so that emergency medical responders have as much time as possible to prepare for an influx of patients and save lives. While children generally are not severely sickened by the illness, they can still spread it to older or immuno-compromised staff or family members.

Petaluma City Schools will follow our academic calendars for the end of the school year under distance learning conditions. Should the governor’s order end earlier than anticipated, we will be flexible and consider resuming classes under the direction of the County Health Officer.

We have been hard at work building robust distance learning programs from the ground up. PCS and SCOE have supported these efforts with virtual trainings for educators and individualized support.

“We want to reassure families that school is not over,” emphasized Dr. Steve Herrington, Sonoma County Superintendent of Schools. “School districts are deemed an essential community service and will continue to provide distance learning, free meals for students, and many other services.”

As classes remain suspended, we are continuing to offer a "grab-and-go" meal service to any child age 18 and under. A map of Sonoma County grab-and-go lunch locations is available at scoe.org/covid.

Schools and high school seniors also received reassuring news Wednesday when the University of California announced that it will greatly ease some admission requirements for fall 2020, including suspending the letter grade requirement for A-G courses completed in winter/spring/summer 2020 for all students and suspending the standardized test requirement for students applying for fall 2021 freshman admission. We will continue to provide you with information on this.

In-person graduation events and activities are suspended until the social distancing order is lifted. We will provide more information on this at a later date.

Petaluma City Schools recognizes the immense challenges parents and families face in educating children from home. News, information, and resources for families are available and being regularly updated at petalumacityschools.org/distancelearning.

Thank you
