Dear Ontario Students and Parents,
As we come to the end of our 3rd quarter, it is hard to believe we are already at this point. This school year has presented many challenges for us all, yet our students continue to persevere. You all have come so far, and we are so proud of you. You have remained optimistic and hopeful through this time and now we will begin to prepare for our anticipated safe return to campus!
San Bernardino County is approaching a less restrictive COVID-19 tier, which will allow for the reopening of high schools for in-person hybrid learning. In-Person Hybrid Instruction will begin on either April 13th or April 14th, depending on students’ schedules. Students will have a choice to either begin, in-person hybrid (physically attending twice per week) or remain in Distance Learning for the remainder of the 2020-2021 school year. For students who select to continue Distance Learning, they will remain at home but follow the Hybrid Instruction schedules (for more information, please click the
Reopening Schools Update tab on our website).
When we return from Spring Break, the academic testing season will begin. The administration of the Smarter Balanced Assessment Consortium (SBAC), English Language Proficiency Assessments for California (ELPAC), and Advanced Placement (AP) Exams. We recognize the significant impact that the COVID-19 pandemic has had on student learning and simply encourage our students to do the best that they can. At this time, it is unknown how student achievement data will be reported and analyzed due to the suspension of the CA Dashboard in 2020.
I encourage you all as Jaguars to stay strong and determined to succeed. We are here to support you in any way that we can and look forward to seeing you in April!
Your proud principal,
Mr. Rook
