- INSTRUCTIONAL MINUTES & BELL SCHEDULES 2021-22
- As shared in Monday’s Ops meeting, the administrative circulars related to instructional minutes and entering bell schedules in PowerSchool have been revised.
- In order to give sites enough time to meet the June 1 due date, we are sharing the revised documents prior to posting on the Bulletins & Circulars webpage:
- Contacts for questions are listed at the bottom of each circular.
- COVID TESTING UPDATE
- To make onsite COVID testing more accessible to students and more streamlined overall, we made changes to testing times starting next week. (Only one site had a day changed).
- For those sites with increased testing needs, UCSD is planning to send increased staffing to help.
- High School times have increased to 11am to 4pm.
- The appointment times on the sign up link may not change immediately. All appointments will be honored even if the schedule reflects an incorrect time.
