Superintendent: Brentwood Union School District to Return to School on April 8 at Earliest

by ECT

On Monday, the Brentwood Union School District announced that the earliest students would return to school is now April 8, 2020.

According to Superintendent Dana Eaton, as this continues to be a rapidly evolving situation, they will learn significantly more during the next two weeks.

“We are getting out this information as early as possible as we understand that school closures can be very difficult on families and want to give families time to prepare,” said Eaton. “Our decisions will continue to be made, with the guidance of state health experts, based on what is best for students.  We will continue to update families and staff with new information and guidance as it becomes available.”

The move comes after Contra Costa County and other Bay Area counties announced a shelter-in-place directive that begins at midnight and will continue through April 7, 2020.

Meals during Spring Break to begin March 17th

The Brentwood Union School District (BUSD) Food Services program will provide an opportunity for families to drive through and pick up FREE meals for the children in their family, at a number of school sites beginning Tuesday March 17th until school is back in session. Children must be present in order for meals to be provided. All children ages 18 and under are welcome to participate and no information will be needed.  The following schools will provide a lunch for that day and breakfast for the following day. Meals will be served between 11 a.m. and 1 p.m., Monday through Friday, in the parking lot or bus lane at each participating school. Please stay in your car and meals will be passed through based on the number of children in the car.

Schools Offering Meals: 

  • Brentwood Elementary 200 Griffith Lane (main parking lot)
  • Pioneer Elementary 2010 Shady Willow Lane (bus loop)
  • Edna Hill Middle School 140 Birch Street (bus loop near front office)

This program will be solely for the pick up of meals and meals will not be consumed on site. We encourage families to continue to be proactive in reducing the risk of COVID-19 by not congregating at the school site once meals have been distributed, continue to wash your hands often, sneeze or cough into a tissue and stay home if you are sick.
