Bret Harte Clubs Update:
At this time our focus remains on building confidence and capacity with distance learning and our distance learning platforms. Teachers are spending much more time collaborating, planning, and learning than in years past.
We have also heard a lot of feedback in our community, and the larger SJUSD community during Board of Education meetings, that parents/guardians are concerned about the amount of screen time for our students.
So, in light of all of this we are not yet offering opportunities for students to participate in virtual clubs. We may be able to have some virtual extracurricular activities and opportunities later in the school year. When that timeline is finalized, we will be sure to share it with the whole community.
