Dear Los Medanos Families,

As you know, you signed a contract to borrow a Chromebook and/or laptop from the District in order to fully participate in distance learning. The original agreement you committed to is now coming to an end. However, the Pittsburg Unified School District highly encourages your child to continue taking advantage of learning opportunities during the summer. To that end, we are asking interested families to commit to the continuing use of the devices you have borrowed from our schools. We hope you will meet us halfway by committing to ongoing learning and diminishing summer learning loss. 

There are two options available to you at this time:

Option 1:

Return the device to Los Medanos Elementary on

June 1^st, 2020 between the hours of 9:30 am to 1:30 pm,

June 2^nd, 2020 between the hours of 1:30 pm to 2:30 pm, or

June 3^rd, 2020 between the hours of 9:30 am to 11:30 am

Option 2:

Continue borrowing the device to use for educational purposes as outlined in the initial contract. If you choose option 2, the date the device must be returned to Los Medanos Elementary is August 5^th, 2020 between the hours of 9:30 am and 12:30 pm. 

If you choose option 2, you are agreeing that your child will utilize the learning resources available through their Clever portal for a minimum of two hours per day. The District will track your child's participation and growth in academic areas. Please bring your device to the site to renew your checkout agreement during any of the days listed above.

If you have any questions, please contact me at: mestrada@pittsburg.k12.ca.us

Sincerely,

Mrs. Milly Estrada

Principal

Dear Los Medanos Families,

I hope this finds you well. The following are some important upcoming dates as we close this school year:

Monday, June 1:        Students belongings pick up from 9:30 am to 1:30 pm.

Tuesday, June 2:        5^th grade promotion certificates pick up from 9:30 AM to 12:30 PM

                                    Students’ belongings pick up from 1:30 PM to 2:30 PM.

Wednesday, June 3: LAST DAY for students’ belongings pick up from 9:30 AM to 11:30 AM.

In order to accomplish this and to follow the guidelines of the Center for Disease Control and Prevention and mandate of Contra Costa County, and consistent with all social distancing requirements we are asking families: 

• Families will remain in their car to pick up their items AND return district distributed laptops, library books, textbooks, and musical instruments.
• We also ask that all family members and distributors wear a mask and follow the social distancing guidelines. 
• This will be a drive through pick-up and return therefore you will NOT need to exit your vehicle. Only one person from your vehicle will be allowed to exit your vehicle to go through the lost and found clothes bins when instructed.

In addition, if you purchased spring pictures, there will be available. We haven't received yearbooks due to the current circumstances. Yearbooks will be distributed in the beginning of the school year and you will be notified. We also have two large bins full of lost and found clothes. Bins will be placed outside the school for you to look for your students’ clothes. We do ask that you follow social distance guidance when you look/retrieve these items from the bins. You will need to park your vehicle close to the bins and only one person can look through the bins. Students’ clothes that are not picked up will be donated to a charity. Students’ belongings that are not picked up will be disposed.

Be Safe,

Mrs. Milly Estrada       

Principal
