Coronavirus (COVID-19) Information
On Wednesday, April 1, 2020, Governor Gavin Newsom and State Superintendent of Public Instruction Tony Thurmond announced that all California school districts should close campuses for the remainder of the school year due to the safety concerns surrounding coronavirus (COVID-19). In addition, Orange County Department of Education (OCDE) Superintendent Al Mijares also recommended keeping campuses closed for the rest of the school year and focusing on distance learning. As a result, the Placentia-Yorba Linda Unified School District (PYLUSD) has extended its temporary school closures through the remainder of the 2019-2020 school year, which ends June 11, 2020.
PYLUSD will move to a choice model of Credit/Incomplete or “A-D”/Incomplete for high school students for the final reporting period of the 2019-2020 school year. Middle school students (6-8) will receive Credit/Incomplete marks. For elementary students, letter and number grades will be replaced with CR “Credit” or R “Review Needed.”

Prevention
The California Department of Public Health recommends practicing common sense public health measures to help combat the spread of the coronavirus. These measures include:
-
- Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds. If soap and water are not available, use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer.
- Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands.
- Stay home when you are sick. Students with flu-like symptoms should be kept home from school or daycare for at least 24 hours after their fever resolves without the use of fever-reducing medications, such as Tylenol or Advil.
- Avoid close contact with people who are sick.
- Cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue, then throw the tissue in the trash.
- Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces.
- Practice social distancing with a minimum distance of six feet.
