Dear Bedell and Glen City Parents,
In 2015, the Santa Paula Unified School District developed a Facilities Master Plan that identified Glen City as a transitional kindergarten through eighth grade (TK-8) Dual Language Immersion School. The school district Board of Trustees is also considering a transitional kindergarten through eighth grade configuration at Bedell Elementary, with a Science Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math (STEAM) focus, possibly beginning the 2022-23 school year.
If the Board of Trustees decides to convert one or both schools into transitional kindergarten through eighth grade schools, parents whose children attend Bedell or Glen City would have the option of sending their children to either Isbell Middle School or continue to attend their transitional through eighth grade school (Bedell or Glen City). We believe giving parents a choice would be beneficial to families.
The district is seeking input from parents regarding the TK-8 concept. Your input is important and we are interested in your thoughts regarding the school your child is attending and possibly being converted into a TK-8 school. Please CLICK HERE take answer a few questions and feel free to share any additional thoughts you may have (supports, programs, etc.) as district staff continue to explore the TK-8 concept at both schools.
El distrito está solicitando la opinión de los padres en relación con este concepto de TK-8 y estamos interesados en sus pensamientos con respecto a la escuela a la que asiste su hijo y posiblemente se convierta en una escuela TK-8. OPRIME AQUI para participar en la encuesta.

LEARNING CONTINUITY AND ATTENDANCE PLAN 2020-21
The Learning Continuity Plan is a key part of the overall budget package for K–12 that seeks to address funding stability for schools while providing information at the LEA level for how student learning continuity will be addressed in light of the COVID-19 crisis in the 2020–21 school year. The provisions for the plan were approved by the Governor and Legislature in June in SB 98 and can be found in EC Section 43509.
