![]() Dear Quarry Lane Families,
We hope you are doing well and are looking forward to enjoying a restful and rewarding Thanksgiving holiday. As many of you may know, State and County officials recently issued updated guidance in response to local and statewide increases in the daily COVID-19 case rates. As of yesterday, Monday, November 16th, 41 counties, including Alameda County, were placed in the Purple Tier—the most restrictive level in the state's reopening framework.
In light of this update, and in alignment with our cautious, measured approach, Quarry Lane will pause our phased-in reopening. Grade levels that currently operate on our dual-teaching platform—Jr. Kindergarten through Grade 2—will continue to do so. Onsite students in those grade levels may continue to come on campus for instruction. Our planned reopening date for Grades 3 and 8, originally scheduled for December 7th, will be postponed until further notice. Once we are permitted by State and County agencies to continue our reopening plan, and we have determined it is safe to do so, we will communicate the updated reopening dates and plans as soon as possible.
As we have learned over the past months, we must remain nimble, responsive, and adaptable in our current climate. Our decisions, as always, are led by the prioritization of the health and safety of our community, as well as guidance from the State and County. We believe that taking this proactive step now, is in the best interest of our community and will help ensure a safe return to campus in the future. We know how fortunate we are to be part of a community that has successfully led the way in overcoming the unprecedented challenges of the past months, while continuing to deliver an active, engaging learning experience for our students.
With the holiday season quickly approaching, it is more important than ever to remain diligent in our health and safety practices both on campus and off. Please take a moment to review our policies regarding travel, gatherings, and guests, located in our Information Hub.
Thank you for your continued partnership.
With gratitude, QLS Administration
