Dear Parents, Students, and Staff,
Many of you are aware from news reports of the possible spread of the H1N1 flu and how schools may be impacted. The Center for Disease Control (CDC) has established new guidelines to respond to the influenza during the 2009-10 school year. The full report is available on the CDC Flu Website at
http://www.flu.gov/plan/school/school guidance.html.
People at high risk for influenza complications (asthma, diabetes, compromised immune systems, medically fragile, pregnant, etc.), who become ill with influenza-like illness should speak with their health care provider as soon as possible after getting the flu.
The following are recommendations from the CDC and Alameda County Health Department:
Stay home when sick: Staff and students with flu-like illness should stay home for at least 24 hours after they no longer have a fever, or signs of a fever, without the use of fever-reducing medicines.
Hand hygiene and respiratory etiquette: Wash hands frequently with soap and water, and cover noses and mouths with a tissue when coughing or sneezing (or a shirt sleeve or elbow if no tissue is available). Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth.
Do not share food and drinks: Our food service department prepares and distributes food with protective hand coverings, and students and staff should avoid handling and sharing food with each other.
Our Maintenance Department will continue to routinely clean our school sites with the appropriate and recommended cleaning products. The Livermore Valley Joint Unified School District, working in conjunction with directives and recommendations from the CDC, Alameda County Health Department, and the California Department of Education, are committed to doing all we can to prepare and protect our school communities as the fall flu season approaches.
Sincerely,
Brenda Miller
Superintendent of Schools

East Avenue Sports
Welcome to East Avenue Middle School. East Avenue has many opportunities for students to participate in sports programs. The Livermore Valley Joint Unified School District has a policy that every child who participates in a school sport has to have a completed green physical card on file. The physicals must be filled out by a medical doctor; this is something that is new for East Students. In years passed we were able to have a generous chiropractor offer sports physicals to our athletes. However, under the new district guidelines, this is something that can not be done anymore.
Please open the link for more information about sport physicals.
Our School is the Best!
We Did It!
East Avenue Middle School is now a California Distinguished School!
The 2009 California School Recognition Program (CSRP) directly focuses on California’s students and their entitlement to an equitable and rigorous education. Under the 2009 CSRP, the California Distinguished Schools Award identifies and honors those schools that have demonstrated educational excellence for all students and progress in narrowing the achievement gap. For more information about the award go to the CA Department of Education website.
Schools selected for recognition are honored as Distinguished Schools at an awards ceremony where State Superintendent O’Connell presents each school with a 2009 California Distinguished School plaque and flag. The event and awards are funded by donations from many of California’s most prominent corporations and statewide education organizations. *
East Avenue would like to thank the teachers, students, and parents for making this award possible for all of us!
