This week, BHS teacher Mrs. Ellis and a group of students visited the new hydroponic Freight Farm. They had a hands-on experience harvesting fresh vegetables and the first crop of lettuce. Guided by a farmer, students learned the art of planting and harvesting. The district’s Nutrition Services Department will collaborate with CalAPS and the “Urban Farming Project” to incorporate these fresh vegetables into upcoming food products for our students!

HEALTHY KIDS PARENT SURVEY

BUSD Parents, we need your input! The California Healthy Kids Survey is an anonymous, confidential survey rating school climate, safety and student wellness. Your child’s school will send out a link to the parent survey in the next week. When you receive the link, please take a moment to complete the survey prior to February 9, as your input will provide us with important information to ensure that we continue to implement strategies that promote student engagement and achievement, safety and overall well-being. Thank you for taking the time to participate.

COVID-19 GUIDANCE UPDATE

Please note the recent updates to Covid-19 isolation and masking guidance announced by the LA County Dept of Public Health. The new guidance adopts a more flexible, symptom-based approach, aligning with approaches used for other illnesses.

This document aligns with California Dept of Public Health guidance and aims to minimize disruptions to schools and workplaces, with a priority on individuals most at risk of severe illness.

Key Highlights:

Individuals who have tested positive for Covid-19 and have mild and improving symptoms, and no fever for 24 hours without the use of fever-reducing medication, may return to work or school instead of the previous required 5 days isolation period. Masks are required to leave isolation through day 10 from symptom onset whenever around other people.

Individuals who have tested positive for Covid-19 and have no symptoms are not required to isolate provided they wear a well-fitting mask whenever around other people for 10 days following the positive test result.

For more detailed information, please refer to the latest LACPH guidance
