Representatives of the La Jolla Cluster Association, which contains the five La Jolla campuses in the San Diego Unified School District, heard details about the district’s adoption of restorative justice practices at the association’s May 20 meeting, the final one this school year.
The majority of La Jolla High School students are a little on the fence about the increase of in-person school days to four a week for all who returned to campus. But it is definitely beneficial in the long run, and more students are likely to realize that soon.

With four weeks of in-person learning completed and most students on campus four days a week following a 13-month pandemic-related closure, the five San Diego Unified School District schools that make up the La Jolla Cluster have reported a total of four cases of the COVID-19 coronavirus, as of May 7.
Meanwhile, some parents are expressing concern that district testing protocols mean not enough students are tested to quickly detect and prevent the spread of the virus.

In a school year characterized by unprecedented challenges caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, the five public schools in La Jolla have chosen their Teachers of the Year for 2021.
The five will receive a gift basket of personalized items including a tote bag, mask and shirt from their principals and San Diego Unified School District Area 5 Superintendent Mitzi Merino during National Teacher Appreciation Week this week. SDUSD also will honor them and the rest of the district’s Teachers of the Year, along with the 2020 winners, in a virtual celebration Tuesday, May 4.
After over a year of distance learning and more than seven months into the current school year, La Jolla’s five public schools in the San Diego Unified School District welcomed most of their students back to campus April 12 as the district reopened from closures triggered by COVID-19.
In La Jolla, 2,237 students chose to return to campuses in the hybrid model, Merino said at the April 15 meeting of the La Jolla Cluster Association, which is composed of parent and staff representatives from each cluster school.
The district’s hybrid system offers students two or four days a week of in-person learning, depending on the school.
