The new J-wing of Cedar Ridge High School.

The ribbon has been cut, and the shiny new material for Cedar Ridge High School is finally completed. To complete the building, all you need is students. As long as there is enough security to allow high school students to resume attending classes in person, J-Wing will present exquisite "Welcome Back" gifts. 

The principal of Cedarridge High School Carlos Ramirez said: "The process of making this project a reality is full of emotions and emotions." "First, it will be the community that provides advice: teachers, faculty Workers, students, parents, community members. It starts with a central question: how can we make this new space a safe environment where students feel creative and innovative and think outside the box. I want to thank taxpayers for supporting this project. Without their support, we would not be here."

Ramirez cut the ribbon with Orange County School Director, Dr. Monique Felder, and School Board Chairman Hillary MacKenzie. Ramirez, along with other school staff and students, took a group trip to the building. 

Cedar Ridge's expansion project was approved in March 2018. Construction began in July 2019. After the expansion, the capacity of high school students will increase from 1,050 to 1,500 students. 

Ramirez added: "I appreciate the forward thinking of building this space before the students come here." "Sometimes you will have to build a community because of the cracks in the community. This community is thinking about future plans, now We have prepared the students."

The building provides plenty of natural light and technology. Almost every piece of furniture is movable and can be redesigned, folded or stacked for convenient storage. There are 24 teaching "stations" around the center of the building, and a large number of seating areas in the learning area. Wooden terrace seats can accommodate up to 100 students (published by Covid). A huge 30-foot high whiteboard provides enough visual space for teaching. 

"No words," Superintendent Fedel said. "I was just shocked by this increase. Plans, hopes, hopes, dreams and everything. I am excited for our students, excited for our employees, and excited about the community and the great work that will happen here. Right on the moon."

Flexibility is the key to the J-wing. There are many tables and chairs that can be rearranged to suit small or large group courses. Some classrooms even have counters outside for students to discuss in class. Windows enables teachers to monitor counter meetings.

Hillary MacKenzie, chairman of the school board, said: “The new flank of Cedar Ridge Highlands is both open and bright. Everything is state-of-the-art.” “During this difficult period, it shines as a symbol of hope, Together we recall our bright future. This is a commitment to learning and community building that will happen in space."

Each level has small meeting rooms, some of which have large windows. Various classroom types have been designed to enhance different learning and teaching styles.

The designer also considered safety. A fire protection zone has been added to the parking lot on the left side of the building. There is also a small building on site, which is equipped with fire fighting equipment and materials. 

Orange County Commissioner Brenda Stephens said: "I am very happy to see this project come to fruition." "It took a long time, a lot of planning and a lot of work. It's definitely worth it. "

Governor Gavin Newsom (Gavin Newsom) made changes to the plan to reopen the school, including a small drop in the case rate, which allows elementary school students to participate in face-to-face classes on campus.

Under the new guidance, K-6 schools in counties and counties will be eligible to reopen with an average of 25 cases per 100,000 residents in 7 days or less, and the governor announced in December for every 100,000 residents. There are 28 cases.

This figure is significantly lower than the current interest rates in many California states, reducing the hope that schools (especially Southern California) will soon reopen.

For example, the adjusted COVID-19 case rate is 77 cases per 100,000 residents; Orange County, 79; Riverside County, 107; San Bernardino County, 103 and San Diego County, 70.

In December, Newsom announced

Encourage returning to face-to-face classes. It gives priority to returning students from kindergarten to second grade, and returning students with special needs starting in mid-February. The remaining elementary school students will return to school in mid-March. It is not clear when the older students will return to campus.

Newsom said in a statement: "Learning is non-negotiable, and having our children and employees safely return to the classroom will help us continue to reverse this pandemic."

For local health officials and leaders, schools should also ensure that the desks of teachers and staff are at least six feet away from student desks.

Screen capture of the Orange County School Board of Education meeting on Monday, January 25, 2021. 

For some 5-year-olds in Orange County, the first day of kindergarten in person seems a bit unusual-there are only a few students, all of them wearing masks, sitting far away, in class Will not whisper to friends at times.

Orange County schools began reintroducing face-to-face learning this week, with the first kindergarten and first graders starting on January 25. The principal, Monique Felder, introduced the district's reopening plan at the Board of Education meeting on Monday as some teachers started to learn face-to-face. There are only two children in the class.

If you are a parent, teacher or student in the local school district, please take five minutes

"Education" by texting to 73-224. 

Students in grades 2-12 will return in the fourth quarter starting in early April. Staff must return by March 22, although they can work remotely before then.

Felder warned families and community members that the school district’s reopening plan might need to be changed during the pandemic, and encouraged the school district to develop emergency plans if the school district needs to transition to full distance learning.

"The plan can actually be changed for a dime," Feld said.

Vice principal Kathleen Dawson said that as of December 30, 58% of families in Orange County schools had signed up for courses that were taught in person through the region’s blended learning model.

As more students are expected to return to the classroom, the board of directors is considering school day logistics services to minimize the spread of COVID-19. During the meeting, board members reviewed the district’s requirements to allow students to eat in the classroom.

Dawson said that the area prefers students to eat outdoors, unless there is bad weather or the temperature is below 40 degrees. If this option is not available, the school district recommends that students eat in the classroom instead of in the larger indoor classroom (currently the default setting). Dawson said the classrooms are already equipped with air purifiers.

Board member Sarah Smylie said that air purifiers are a "benchmark" solution for allowing students to return to school, and asked whether there is a need to further increase meal times-including placing tents outdoors and opening windows in classrooms.

Smylie said: "If we end up with a more contagious virus, we can provide more protection, which is good for us."

Hillary MacKenzie, chairman of the board of directors, said the area can provide picnic tables, outdoor shelters, beach chairs, student jackets and other items for outdoor dining to minimize the possible spread of COVID-19.

The board of directors finally passed a motion to allow students to eat in the classroom when they can’t eat outdoors, but only if an air purifier is used, the classroom windows are open, and the distance between students should be kept at 6 feet the above.

Melany Stowe, Public Information and Community Engagement Officer of OCS, introduced the district's communication plan for COVID-19 cases in the school system. Starting this week, the school district will be updated to a new dashboard that will provide faculty and students with new cases, the number of clusters and cumulative positive cases, as well as data for each school and center in the district.

So far, it is planned to update the dashboard at 5 pm every Friday. School nurses will tabulate the data every day, but the dashboard needs to be updated manually.

Brenda Stephens, the vice chairman of the board, read the resolution aloud, and the board unanimously approved the resolution in recognition of Dr. Corbett’s "unprecedented research and success in stopping a life threatening pandemic." .
