Asking Sea Kings, “How Do You Feel About PVPUSD’s Response to the Omicron Wave?”

“I think we should’ve held the first week back online seeing that so many people missed it and were put behind course. I also think the distancing for that period would’ve been beneficial to students that were exposed. I appreciate the district’s efforts like testing, antigen test distribution and contact tracing, but ultimately the right precaution would’ve been a two-week distance period.”

“For me, personally, I liked the freedom online learning gave me when I did my work. But that also worked against me as I would procrastinate at times… I can see how the teachers are trying to continue the guidelines for everyone’s sake. But, there are still students who do not care and go against the guidelines. At this point, I think for everyone’s safety we should go back online.”

“I honestly don’t think we should be at school right now. I feel like we should be online or they should give us another week off so they can figure out what they want to do because it is not safe that we are at school… [the district] should rethink about everyone and understand how hard it is to go to school when there is a huge outbreak that is currently happening.”

“I think that the district is doing what they can as of right now but I’m worried that we are going to go back online. I think that it’s important we stay in school because it’s my last year of high school and would like to graduate in-person. But, I also think that we should keep school going [because] we have already lost more than a year of in-person school.”
