Weekly Message for the Week of August 15th

Dear Tiffany Families,

I hope this email finds you well on this weekend – it’s a hot one outside!  Here is the information for the week:

Traffic and Safety

This week was particularly challenging in our parking lot.  It takes all stakeholders in our community, who are coming and going each day, to help uphold the safety expectations.  When we do not, it compromises the safety of everyone, but most importantly, the safety of our students.  A few parents have stepped up and would like to volunteer with traffic.  If you are interested in volunteering in this way, please email me as soon as possible at crystal.sutton@cvesd.org.

Our parking lot empties out relatively quickly when everyone follows the expectations.  I appreciate your support.  Here are a few important reminders:

  • Red Curbs – “as required under California Vehicle Code Section 21458(a)(1), a curb painted red shall indicate no stopping, standing, or parking whether the vehicle is attended or unattended.” 
  • Yellow curbs are for loading and unloading only – cars should not be parked and left unattended.  If you are on a yellow curb, you should be in your vehicle to move as the traffic is moving.
  • The left lane in the parking lot is for traffic to move through.  Parking/stopping in the left lane blocks cars from being able to exit.  Students should not exit or enter vehicles that are in the left lane.
  • Use crosswalks for crossing the street and parking lot.  When dropping students off, please be sure that they exit the vehicle on the right so that they get out directly onto the sidewalk closest to the school building.
  • Follow traffic patterns and do not double park along parking spaces.

Our School Resource Officer from CVPD was here last week and will be making stops by our school to help support traffic as well.  Thank you for your help in keeping our parking lot and neighbor safe, which ultimately keeps our students safe.  Again, we appreciate your support.

Makeup Day for Pictures

If your student was absent on Thursday, August 11th, Hager Photography will be back on Thursday, August 18th for make up photos.

Lunch Applications

While all meals are free for all students this year, these applications also can provide additional funding for our school.  We are asking that our families fill out and return the applications for the lunch program.  This application is green – be on the look out for it and return as soon as possible.  This application can also be completed online at https://www.schoolcafe.com/.

Campus Clinic

Campus Clinic, operated by COVID Clinic, is the organization that will be providing testing for students and staff here on campus each Wednesday at Tiffany Elementary.  If you want to participate in this optional testing, a new consent form must be filled out for the 2022-2023 school year.  Students and staff who were previously registered will not automatically rollover.  The consent forms were sent via email and are personalized for each student and staff member.
Optional testing will take place every Wednesday.  Campus Clinic staff will be on campus and will test only students and staff who have consent to be tested.  PCR tests will be used and results are shared with parent(s) via email within 24-48 hours.  If your child has tested positive within the last 90 days, PCR tests are not recommended because they can pick up small fragments of the virus.  Antigen testing is not available through Campus Clinic yet.  If that changes, we will let our community know.
If you did not receive an email from Campus Clinic and want to have your child participate, please email support@campusclinic.orgThey will be able to assist you with registration.  Our front office does not handle registration for testing.   
Again, this is optional and available for those who want to utilize it.
Here’s to a great week!
Take Care,
Crystal Sutton
Principal
