December 8, 2022
Dear AESD Families,
The following update is provided to keep you informed regarding the Anaheim Elementary School District:
Update on Weekly COVID-19 Data for Anaheim
Our District continues to prioritize the health and safety of stakeholders as our top priority. As we have communicated, California no longer reports data within the tiered colored system. The City of Anaheim has also discontinued the collection and sharing of COVID-19 data. This is a link to the Orange County Health Care Agency to provide you with access to Orange County data.
COVID-19 Safety
It is important that we all remain vigilant in our safety protocols. CDPH has shifted its masking guidance from a strong recommendation in all indoor settings to advising the general population to use the CDC Community Levels to inform masking recommendations. Other safety protocols include frequently washing our hands and seeking testing when displaying any symptoms of COVID.
Please continue to self-screen your child before coming to school. If your child has any COVD-19 symptoms, keep them at home and report their absence to your school.
COVID-19 Testing at Key
COVID-19 testing at Key will end on December 16, 2022 due to the increased availability of home tests and the lack of demand for testing at Key. The District will continue to provide over the counter (OTC) COVID-19 tests to all staff and students on a regular basis. If you need an OTC test, please contact your child’s school.
Expanded Learning Opportunities Program - Winter Camp
Anaheim Elementary School District will be hosting an in-person Winter Camp at all 23 school sites. Anaheim Achieves will be available from 7:30AM-4:30PM for 8 days during winter break. For more information please click on the flyer.Food Distribution Event - Saturday, December 10
On Saturday, December 10, from 10 am-1 pm, families are invited to join Assemblywoman Sharon Quirk-Silva, Senator Josh Newman, Orange County Supervisor Doug Chaffee and United across Borders Foundation for a food distribution and resource event at the Ehlers Event Center, 8150 Knott Avenue, Buena Park.
On behalf of our Board of Education and staff members, thank you for your support of the Anaheim Elementary School District.
Sincerely,
Dr. Christopher Downing
Superintendent
