Dear Kingston Family,
Querida familia de Kingston: ¡Buenas noticias! El número de casos de COVID está disminuyendo y se ve bien que los estudiantes regresen a clase en el modelo híbrido. Mientras hacemos nuestros planes, usaremos la respuesta de la encuesta inicial que se completó en noviembre (híbrido 2 días en persona / 3 a distancia o toda la distancia). Si ha cambiado de opinión acerca de si desea que su hijo (s) regrese (s) y cómo, por favor comuníquese con su escuela antes del viernes 26 de febrero. Esperamos tener a los estudiantes de regreso en persona. Actualmente no tenemos una fecha de inicio oficial, pero estamos ansiosos por finalizar los planes. ¡Le informaremos tan pronto como obtengamos esta información! Además, hemos recibido llamadas telefónicas de padres que confunden el texto de Inscripción abierta y los estudiantes que regresan a la escuela. La Inscripción Abierta es un proceso que ocurre todos los años en el caso de que una familia desee transferirse a otra escuela dentro del distrito. No tiene nada que ver con la inscripción en Kingston o el regreso a la escuela relacionado con la pandemia.
Dear Kingston Family,
Good news! The number of COVID cases is dropping and it is looking good for students to be brought back to class in the hybrid model. As we are making our plans, we will be using the initial survey response that was completed in November (hybrid 2 days in person/3 distance or all distance). If you have changed your mind about if and how you want your child (ren) to return, please contact your school by Friday, February 26. We are looking forward to having students back in person. We currently don’t have an official start date but are eager to finalize plans. We will inform you just as soon as we get this information!
Additionally, we have received phone calls from parents who are confusing the Open Enrollment text and students returning to school. Open Enrollment is a process that happens every year in the event that a family is looking to transfer to another school within the district. It has nothing to do with enrollment at Kingston or coming back to school related to the pandemic.
Hello Kingston Parents,
Please take a moment to provide us with feedback on the 2020/21 Kingston Parent Survey. Your input is greatly appreciated. Please complete surveys by February 5th, 2021

Flu Vaccine:
The California Department of Public Health strongly recommends that all students and staff be immunized each autumn against influenza, to help:
Protect the school community
Reduce demands on health care facilities
Decrease illnesses that cannot be readily distinguished from COVID19 and would therefore trigger extensive measures from the school and public health authorities.
