Good afternoon,

Santa Clara County announced today that the county will enter into the Red Tier tomorrow, March 3. We are thrilled that the health of our community is improving and that this permits us to bring students back for in-person instruction.

What does this mean?

• We will continue to provide our on-campus remote learning cohorts through Friday, March 12th.  Students enrolled in these cohorts should continue to attend as scheduled.  Remote learning cohorts will not operate after March 12th.

• Beginning the week of March 15th, students who opted-in to in-person instruction will attend school rotating through their classes two days per week -- either Monday/Tuesday or Thursday/Friday.  Campus will be entirely remote for all students on Wednesdays.  Students who will be on campus must attend orientation next week.  More information will be sent to these families and students directly.

  • Please note that enrollment is closed for in-person instruction at this time. We created our rosters for in-person instruction and remote learning cohorts based on the responses parents submitted to opt in/out (sent on November 12) as well as the follow-up survey to all who opted in (sent on February 5).

  • Students should continue reviewing the daily bulletin for other opportunities to come to campus for events and/or co-curricular activities.

• We must still follow state and county guidelines that require 6 feet of social distance on campus and only permit religious or civic gatherings/events.

• Classes will still operate remotely using our new Neat Board technology in classrooms.

Additionally, we are pleased to announce that students who are on-campus for any reason may now participate in one cohort/activity outside of Presentation.  For example:

• A student who is attending on-campus classes may participate in one non-PHS activity before/after school.

• A student who is participating in a Presentation co-curricular activity may participate in one non-PHS activity before or after school.

• A student who is attending on-campus classes and is in an on-campus co-curricular activity may participate in one non-PHS activity before or after school.

• For athletics, student-athletes will be able to participate in their Presentation sport and their club/outside sport simultaneously while adhering to all Santa Clara County, CA Department of Public Health and Presentation guidelines and policies. 

• Student-athletes who are multi-sport athletes will be able to play both of their sports, however, not simultaneously. You will need to complete one season of sport before moving to another. 

Please help keep these opportunities open and protect the health and safety of our community by committing to the Panther Pledge.  Asymptomatic COVID-19 testing is also a way that students and families can help keep our community safe.  Our faculty and staff are all tested 2x/month and we encourage students to test regularly.  Thank you for your partnership and commitment to our community.

In partnership,

Katherine Georgiev
