Principal's Message

Good evening Sutter families, this is Cristin Tahara. I hope you had a wonderful time over the break. You should have already received notification from the district regarding your child’s cohort if you chose the in person learning option for your child. Thursday, April 22nd is the scheduled reopening date for Cohort B. Cohort A will start the following week on Tuesday, April 27th. 

Here is the daily schedule for reopening starting April 22nd.  Again, Mondays remain the same as their current schedule, as all students are in distance learning on Mondays periods 1-6. 

As a reminder, per the MOU, the two days immediately before the commencement of in-person instruction on April 20th and 21st, teachers will do a brief check in with students at the beginning of the day, while the rest of the day will be used for planning and preparation for the in-person/concurrent instructional model and they can receive any other support necessary for the return of students. Please plan on students having full asynchronous distance learning days on both of these days.

Here is a 20 minute Sutter video for parents with information about our reopening.

I have also included the Powerpoint slides of the Sutter Reopening Presentation so you can click on the links and review it.

Here is a map of our Sutter campus including a draft of our entry points that are located on I street in the front of the school, one is by our main gate and one is by our cafeteria, our directional flow for our reopening, as well as our grab and go lunch areas. Both entry points will have a thermal scanner for students to walk past to take their temperature upon entry. We will open our gates for student entry by 7:40 am.

Here is a Sutter Satellite Map to show you the drop off and pick up areas in front of the school, as well as Regional Transit bus pick up/drop off area. Parents can choose to drop off/pick up their children in other areas near school if you would like your child to walk to the front of the school to the entrance. 

For families who are interested in having their child take Regional Transit, here is their bus schedule for our Spring Reopening.  Here is the  Regional Transit bus routes for our Spring Reopening.

Current 7th grade students: 7th grade students will be given information this Thursday & Friday about 8th grade elective course options and the link to fill out the on-line form in their science classrooms.  Parents, the course selection information and form will also be posted on our school’s website on April 8th.  Please  review this information with your student.  Course selection forms and applications are due by April 30th.  If you have any questions please contact Ms. Payne at michele-payne@scusd.edu.

Thank you and have a great evening.
