    Fresco @ Eastwood Village

    I believe this was a concern with the 2008 fire being closer to Portola Parkway and Northwood, but any local residents have any insight to offer related to home insurance or fire insurance policies?

    2 Irvine Unified School District Students Test Positive For Coronavirus, Under Q

    It?ll be up to the families to check for themselves. It?s too much of a liability for schools to contact trace. The students do not social distance between classes and during practices. IUSD would rather claim ignorance. If a family tests positive, the school won?t make a connection to it since...

    2 Irvine Unified School District Students Test Positive For Coronavirus, Under Q

    Is the entire class for the College Park student going online to quarantine as well? Same question with the six or more classes the Woodbridge student would have attended. You can see these kids are not socially distancing at school with no real way of enforcing them to do so unless they are...

    Irvine Virtual Academy IVA

    Regarding IVA, the best place to share a valid concern could be the IUSD School Board. The emails are posted on the IUSD website and it?s an election year for a few of them. If your child?s education is not a concern now to them, then it won?t be. IVA is brand new and was definitely oversold...

    Statement made by IUSD teachers

    Well said...the forgotten students will be those whose parents are more cautious and have chosen for them to stay home. I definitely appreciate the business meeting analogy except adults are more capable of speaking up if they are not being heard and the boss might not have the ability to mute...

    Statement made by IUSD teachers

    They deserve our support and students deserve a consistent education, which may only be delivered through Distance Learning at this time. Every administrator including the District Office is required to have a valid teaching credential. Therefore, they should reduce online class sizes and teach...

    Families need to read and question their District?s specific plans. They are changing as the logistics are becoming overwhelming.

    Statement made by IUSD teachers

    The Districts are realizing this is not as easy as planned. A south OC school with a dominant football team was told by their principal they could not use Zoom while at school to teach those students who have chosen to learn through Distance Learning; citing a bandwidth issue.

    Countdown for in-person schooling

    Many schools are uncertain as to how they will implement their board approved schedules. They look good on paper...

    Countdown for in-person schooling

    When one person decides to walk between desks you have lost the six feet for social distancing and ?must? wear a mask.

    Countdown for in-person schooling

    They will enforce the mask wearing as well as schools enforce cell phone use in the classroom. No technology allowed, but the teacher can?t confiscate the phone. So if a student removes the mask is a teacher to walk out of the room...doubtful. In terms of returning, Labor Day might create an...

    Countdown for in-person schooling

    School administrators in a local district have already said they don?t have the resources to clean every classroom daily. This should be addressed prior to any reopening.

    Tesla Model Y

    Anyone believe the Model Y standard range is gone for good or is Elon just trying to push buyers to the long range version if buyers can?t wait?

    Any place with good school district near Irvine to buy home?

    This is zoned for El Toro HS, which is seeing significant improvement again. There is also word of the Nakase Nursery being developed into residential with plans for an elementary school, which will serve Baker Ranch.

    Any place with good school district near Irvine to buy home?

    I?d suggest Foothill HS (Tustin USD) or Trabuco Hills HS (Saddleback Valley USD). Both are consistently high achieving schools outside of IUSD, but not far.

    Distance learning?

    Hybrid/blended has my vote. Five days in an unsanitary classroom is unsafe for students and staff. Schools don?t have the staff or resources to clean daily, they never have even for vacuuming and dry erase board cleaning.  The one or two days depending on the grade level provides for...

    Distance learning?

    This comment by Ryan Burris won?t add up in the end. You need certificated teachers supervising students at all times.

    coronavirus

    Schools don?t have a specific plan as of yet and are still surveying until more specifics come from the state in mid-July. Parents have the ultimate voice at board meetings; especially with board elections in November.

    Distance learning?

    Even two days a week, as long as families attend on the same days, would be helpful for learning, family childcare or work-related needs. A-L attend Mon-Tues, schools are sanitized on Wed, then M-Z attend Thurs-Fri. As conditions improve adjustments could be made.
