We are encouraging all students in grades 4-8 to take advantage of the 1-to-1 Chromebooks provided in the classrooms.

Dear Esqueda Community,
We are excited to return to in-person learning for the 2021-2022 school year! We do have to follow some very important precautions. Students and staff are required to wear masks at all times indoor. In outdoor areas, it is highly recommended to wear masks to be safe. There are powerful air filters and desks shields in the classrooms to help reduce transmission of the virus. There are also hand sanitizers in every classroom and around the school. Students will be reminded to wash their hands or use hand sanitizer frequently.
Our teachers are excited to have students in their classrooms and look forward to seeing the students on campus. We know there are some families that are still nervous about returning to school so the district has the option of attending the Santa Ana Virtual Academy which has online instruction taught by SAUSD teachers.
We know that there will be challenges for our families and our staff as we return to in-person instruction. Our Wellness Center will be open every day for you to get any assistance or have any questions. Please be patient as we work out new policies and procedures together. We thank you for your continued support of Esqueda.
Sincerely,
Kevin Tonai, Principal
