A proposed schedule for this has or will come from your school administrator. Additionally, our teachers will be using the last few days for closure and planning.&nbsp;</span></p> <p><strong>We <em>all</em></strong><span style="font-weight: 400;"><strong> have worked especially hard this year,</strong> and responding to an unforeseen curve in these last few months has been particularly challenging. Our students and all who support them need a chance to close this year in a positive way&mdash;within our safety protocols. We also need to take time to examine what did and did not work so we can start the new school year on more solid footing.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">For that reason, </span><strong>June 4 </strong><span style="font-weight: 400;">will be the last day for teacher-led instruction, and for&nbsp;</span><strong>June 5-11</strong><span style="font-weight: 400;"> teachers will <span>support the school&rsquo;s end-of-year plan and&nbsp;</span>provide resources for students to continue self-directed learning.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">We want students and staff to be able to say &ldquo;so long&rdquo; for the summer, and we want to celebrate our students&rsquo; accomplishments&mdash; especially our eighth-grade and fifth-grade students who will be transitioning into new schools.&nbsp;</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Please check with your </span><a href="https://www.campbellusd.org/findschool"><span style="font-weight: 400;">school administrator</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> for details about activities planned for your child&rsquo;s school June 5-11.&nbsp;</span></p>
