Alameda County School Reopening Information & Resources (updated 8/24/21)

The Alameda County Office of Education has done an outstanding job of curating resources for school districts. They have provided districts with a guide that includes the current information from the CDC, CDPH, and the ACPHD along with other resources for students, staff, and families. We have provided access to this guide below.

ACOE School Guidance

Guidance (dated 7/7/21)

The current guidance and requirements from the State, public health agencies, and CalOSHA will enable the NHUSD to reopen for in-person instruction at all of our sites for the 2021-22 school year. We are expecting the State to issue revised guidelines, however all indications are that there will not be anything in these guidelines that will prevent us from fully reopening. 

We anticipate that this revised guidance will include updates on masking requirements for students and staff while indoors (and possibly outdoors). We also expect that it will also include updated details about cleaning, testing, contract tracing, and other COVID-19 related areas. We anticipate that they will be very similar to the procedures and protocols we are using in our summer school programs, which have been safely serving approximately 3,000 students for the past four weeks. 

The Alameda County Office of Education has done a great job of assisting school districts throughout and they have a guide that we are using to assist us in finalizing our reopening plans. This guide is updated regularly. Please click here to read the ACOE School Reopening Guidelines.

Parents who do not want to send their students back to school for in-person instruction will have the option of attending one of our independent studies programs. For more information about these programs, please visit the Distance Learning enrollment page on our website by clicking here.

Alameda County Moves to Less Restrictive "Orange Tier" (dated 10/13/20)

As case and positivity rates continue to trend in the right direction, Alameda was reclassified from the "red" to the "orange" tier in the State's classification system on Tuesday, October 13. For the NHUSD, this means that we can continue preparing for the next phase in our reopening process. The Alameda County Public Health Department and the Alameda County Office of Education also released a checklist for reopening and the district has been developing plans to ensure that all elements of the checklist are accounted for in our plan. A link to the checklist and the County's reopening guide can be found under the Alameda County Office of Education heading below. A draft of the NHUSD plan will be shared with the public at our school board on November 17. While the NHUSD is working diligently on our reopening plan, no date or timeline has been set for when schools will reopen.

County Moves to the Red Tier in the State's Reopening Process (dated 9/22/20)

On Tuesday, September 22, 2020, Alameda County moved into a less restrictive tier in the State's reopening plans. (Select this following link for more information: Blueprint for a Safer Economy). If Alameda County remains in this tier (or a less restrictive one) it will allow the District to consider moving to our Phase 2 plan which is a hybrid of distance learning and in-person instruction. Links to our hybrid schedules for Phase 2 can be found below:
