Maya turned 15 on Wednesday. She will start driving soon! She had to share her birthday celebrations with all of us glued to our TV watching what was taking place at the capitol. It will be a birthday she will remember forever. I look forward to our country coming together and healing! 

Below are some resources to help you discuss what is currently happening in our country.

Board Policies Update for Site Newsletters

The Fairfield-Suisun Unified School District maintains Board Policies

and AdministrativeRegulations that provide guidance to the operations

of the district based on current State and Federal law.  Over the next

few months, the newsletter will highlight one or two policies that are

required to be shared annually with FSUSD staff.  Our goal in

distributing a few policies each week is that you will be able to take

the time to review the policies.

BP 0470 COVID-19 Mitigation Plan

Board Policy 0470, COVID-19 Mitigation Plan establishes actions that will be taken by the district to provide a safe learning and working environment during the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, and shall supersede any conflicting language in existing district policies or administrative regulations until the Governing Board determines that the need for this policy no longer exists. The Board acknowledges that, due to the evolving nature of the pandemic, federal, state, and local orders impacting district operations are subject to change without notice. In the event that any federal, state, or local order may conflict with this policy, the order shall govern.

Observable Fish Moments at SV:

Be There:  When people need you, they need you.  Setting aside distractions and judgments to be fully present is a sign of respect.  It improves communication and strengthens relationships.

Play: You can be serious about your work without taking yourself too seriously. Play is a mindset more than a specific activity.  It allows you to throw yourself with enthusiasm, creativity and CURIOSITY, into whatever you are doing, in a way that is natural, not forced.  “Playing” with ideas helps you find solutions to everyday challenges.

Choose your attitude: To actually choose how you respond to life, not just react, you must be intentional.  Ask yourself throughout the day, “What is my attitude right now? Is it helping the people who depend on me? Is it helping me to be most effective?”

Make Their Day:   Simple gestures of thoughtfulness, thanks and recognition make people feel appreciated and valued.  When you make someone feel good, you feel good too.

THROUGH THE FISH PHILOSOPHY, WE BUILD STRONGER

RELATIONSHIPS WITH THE PEOPLE WE WORK WITH, THE STUDENTS WE

TEACH AND THE PEOPLE WE LOVE.

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO EACH OF YOU - I APPRECIATE AND RESPECT

EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOU.
