New Jerusalem Elementary School

Dear Parents,

 By now you have all heard that schools are being told to close until the end of the year.  Obviously this isn't the news any of us want to hear and I want to ensure all of you that we are going to do everything we can to reopen when the circumstances listed below are met.  What this means for the rest of the school year  is that we will be re-evaluating the information coming from the state and county on a weekly basis to determine if and when we can reopen this year.  Simply put, we are not setting a date in the future but rather we are keeping our options open.  We are putting together contingency plans for graduations, proms, summer learning opportunities, etc.  Here are the circumstances mentioned above that need to be met prior to us reopening our site based schools:

-The California State Shelter in Place order has been lifted,

-The directive to Social Distance has been removed,

-The limit placed on social gatherings has been removed,

-The San Joaquin Department of Public Health deems it safe for students to return to school.

We will continue to provide multiple options for families to engage in distance learning and we strongly advise you to help your children engage in learning activities as much as possible.  You can find additional learning resources at our websites www.deltacharter.net and www.newjfalcons.com . If you are in need of any school supplies, computers, or any other assistance, please do not hesitate to call.  We are here to help! 209.830.6363

On Monday, April 6, I will be hosting a Facebook Live Question and Answer period at 10AM on the New Jerusalem Elementary Charter Facebook Page.

https://www.facebook.com/newjfalcons/

We know you have a ton of questions regarding grading, transcripts, graduations etc.  We will be sending out school specific information regarding these items, and any questions you may have will be answered during the Facebook Live as well.  I hope you will join me!

Take care and I hope to see you all soon,

David Thoming

Dear Families, 

During this extraordinary time, it is our goal to give you the parents as many options as possible to help your child continue to learn at home.  We have packets available at the three sites described in our previous communication and those will be updated periodically.  In addition, we will have downloadable copies of the updated packets.  We will also  be working with you to provide online curriculum via different websites.  Lastly, many of our dedicated teachers are sending you work directly via email.  We hope that through all of these choices you can find the way that best fits your family’s needs.  We do not expect your child to do all of this work, rather we hope that they will do as much as they can to continue their learning.  During this shutdown, we will continue to provide as many choices as possible.

Queridas familias,

Durante este tiempo extraordinario, nuestro objetivo es brindarles a los padres tantas opciones como sea posible para ayudar a que su hijo continúe aprendiendo en casa. Tenemos paquetes disponibles en los tres sitios descritos en nuestra comunicación anterior y estos se actualizarán periódicamente. Además, tendremos copias descargables de los paquetes actualizados. También trabajaremos con usted para proporcionar un plan de estudios en línea a través de diferentes sitios web. Por último, muchos de nuestros maestros dedicados le envían su trabajo directamente por correo electrónico. Esperamos que a través de todas estas opciones pueda encontrar la forma que mejor se adapte a las necesidades de su familia. No esperamos que su hijo haga todo este trabajo, más bien esperamos que hagan todo lo posible para continuar su aprendizaje. Durante este cierre, continuaremos brindando tantas opciones como sea posible.
