Sequoia Union High School District
What Students Need To Know Before Returning to Campus
If your student has opted-in for in-person instruction, please make sure to read the following:
Instructional Model
SUHSD has chosen to adopt a concurrent learning model, known by many as “zoomers and roomers”. The Concurrent Instructional Model is a partial return to on-site instruction with the following key elements:
- Students will maintain their exisisting class schedules
- Teachers will be in their classrooms while delivering instruction
- Instruction will be delivered via Zoom whether the student is on campus or at home
- Students who opt for 100% distance learning will attend Zoom classes from home just as they have done all school year.
- Wednesdays will continue to be asynchronous days
Schedules and Groups
Beginning the week of April 5, 2021, 25% of students will return to school in the in-person instruction/concurrent instructional model. The student body at each campus will be divided into four groups (A, B, C, and D). The return to campus will be as follows:
- On April 5 & 6 Group A will be invited to attend class on campus
- On April 8 & 9 Group B will be invited to attend class on campus
- On April 12 & 13 Group C will be invited to attend class on campus
- On April 15 & 16 Group D will be invited to attend class on campus
After the first two weeks, schools will combine the four Groups into Groups up to 50% capacity. Example: A+B and C+D
Starting on April 19 or when we are in the “Orange” tier, whichever is later, up to half of the student body will be invited to be on campus at any time:
Example: Group A+B will attend Mondays and Tuesdays, and group C+D on Thursdays and Fridays.
Students will need to know their designated Group Assignments (A, B, C, D) and have received their class schedules before returning to campus. If you have not been assigned a group or have not received your class schedule, please contact your school site immediately.
Health & Safety Guidelines
A Daily Health Check is required for any student on campus or any district site for any reason. Please read Frontline Student Portal Instructions before returning to campus. Students will complete the health screening before entering campus every day.

- Attendance calls will be sent home daily as usual; the district is required to communicate student attendance with parents and guardians on a regular basis
- Tardies and Attendance codes will be utilized as important data markers for Covid contact tracing
