Next week, vaccine eligibility in California is ex Next week, vaccine eligibility in California is expanding to include all residents 16 and older, but vaccines are not mandatory. The state and local school districts are not mandating students or staff to be vaccinated in order to reopen school campuses. While receiving the COVID-19 vaccine is strictly voluntary, parents of teenagers who are 16 years of age or older may register through the online Othena system to schedule a vaccination appointment at a POD — or point of dispensing — operated by the Orange County Health Care Agency. Families can also schedule appointments through local pharmacy chains or physicians. More information can be found in the OCDE Newsroom (link in bio).

We are mourning with our community today over the We are mourning with our community today over the four lives lost in Orange last night. We send our deepest condolences to the families who lost loved ones in this terrible tragedy. Whenever there’s national or local trauma, it’s important to remember that kids may be experiencing increased levels of stress or anxiety. Even if they’re not personally affected, exposure to tragic events through the media or overheard conversations can affect a child’s emotional well-being. In light of recent events, we’re re-sharing this list of things to keep in mind when helping children cope with tragedy. This list can be found in the OCDE Newsroom (link in bio).
Today marks the first day that Orange County is of Today marks the first day that Orange County is officially an “Orange” county! With key COVID-19 infection rates continuing to fall, Orange County now qualifies for the orange tier of California’s color-coded tracking system, signaling moderate transmission. The shift doesn’t have much of an impact on classrooms, but it’s certainly good news from a public health standpoint, and it means more establishments and activities get the green light to resume or expand with modifications.

During the past month, students at Otto A. Fischer During the past month, students at Otto A. Fischer School have been building desks for families across the county, giving local students a workspace to call their own and helping them get through virtual learning. Fischer is one of two schools operated by OCDE’s ACCESS division inside detention facilities run by the Orange County Probation Department. Built in the school’s on-campus woodshop and designed to be lightweight and compact, the finished desks are currently being delivered to OCDE ACCESS students in area schools across the county. As a thank you for their support, Fischer staff presented OC Superintendent Dr. Al Mijares and OC Chief Probation Officer Steve Sentman with desks to place in their respective offices. #operationstudyhall #ocde
