Fall Family Survey

Please share your voice.

Dear Oakland Community,

This pandemic has been difficult for all of us and especially hard on some families. It is vital that we hear from those most affected by this situation, namely our families and staff. We will be surveying our staff in the coming weeks.

Our Fall Family Survey is Now Open Until Nov. 12.
The Fall Family Survey is a chance to provide feedback on returning to in-person instruction, distance learning, and other issues. Follow this link to our website for the survey as well as the following background materials which we hope you will review:

A ~7 minute video that provides an update on our process and a summary of Alameda County COVID-19 safety standards for schools
Summary of key safety guidelines from Alameda County.
(Please note some translations are still pending)

The information we collected from our family surveys last spring and summer was invaluable and we tried to follow as many suggestions as possible. We hope that you will take the time to share your feedback.

Update on Return to In-Person Instruction
I want to acknowledge the intense desire for more information and certainty. In the coming weeks we hope to be able to share more concrete details about our continued work to help us be prepared for resuming in-person instruction.

As I said in my last update on Oct. 1, OUSD will likely remain, primarily, in distance learning through the end of December 2020. That update lays out the conditions for returning for in-person instruction and some of the in-person services we are offering to serve specific student populations using an equity lens. The video linked above also provides some information about where we are in the process of reopening.
