Everybody does wear a mask you can see the desks are really spaced out the school had applied for a waiver from the Santa Clara Health department to do this. The principal says everyone was axed i excited to get back on campus and she says theyll continue to follow strict safety guidelines. Theres hand washing that happens during every transition. And when they enter the building when they go to leave the building. In addition to this social distancing in the classrooms and the time that the students are outside sitting on any benches they are marked for where they are allowed to and we also have staggered our dropoff times and our recess times under lunch times to ensure that the distancing is taking place between the stable cohorts of students so it is definitely a learning curve for all of us and were getting used to the routine of it. But we are very excited to have everyone back on campus there are no afterschool programs at least not yet maybe later also some families dont want to send their children back into the classroom yet and they are still able to. Participate and zoom classes. School officials also say they are prepared in the event somebody test positive for covid19 during the school year.

After climbing over the fallen trees and walking about a halfmile the rancher and i came across the San Mateo County road crew. Clearing up this very problem. They were able to drive us back and cut the trees up so we could drive out of there. They expect to be clearing the aftermath of this fire for at least another month. If not more im sure were going to be very busy here during the rainy season during the winter coming back for us more trees, falling and more slides also with debris. And dirt the rancher dire able to get out safely but our experience sends a very clear message. That the road closure signs out there in the fire zone are there for a very good reason.
