am writing to you today with news that the Santa Clara County Office of Education and the Santa Clara County Health Department, in conjunction with other surrounding counties, have agreed to extend the school closures to May 1, 2020. This new date means that we are planning on returning May 4, 2020. (click to read more)

Community transmission is ongoing in Santa Clara County. As the community follows the Health Officer Order to Shelter in Place issued on March 16, 2020, notification regarding potential contacts to cases will no longer be provided, and school districts/charter schools are not required to provide any notifications. Everyone, except for those providing or receiving essential services, should be staying home, especially anyone who is feeling ill. Anyone who develops symptoms of COVID-19, should call their healthcare provider for further guidance before going to the doctor. Only the severely ill should seek care at an emergency room and should, if at all possible, call first.

We are making one important change: Spring Break will be moved to April 6-10, 2020. The change from April 13-17 will allow for any extensions to the shelter in place or school closure and allow us to do a deep cleaning of the campus. I know this could have a negative impact for your family and I do apologize for the inconvenience. Please reach out if you have any questions or concerns.

Important information from Executive Director David Porter about UPA's closure, and how UPA plans to continue services during the closure.
