Please do not let them cancel it.

I am scared. My sister is scared, too.

Sister: It is quiet, confined chaos. Everyone is nervous and anxious as we wait for information. I think we're going to get shut down starting Monday. The unions have been meeting with the superintendent two days in a row now. LA County, San Diego County, and Riverside have all shut down their schools starting Monday. We received a letter from the superintendent yesterday and another one just now canceling pretty much every meeting, field trip, professional development, and any group larger than 250. We are also being told to put learning activities for about 2 weeks online but we can't read them or hold them against a student's grade. I told my student teacher and she got right on it and we're going to offer it as extra credit at least in my classroom. I've also heard a science teacher say there has been nothing like this since 1918 and that no one was prepared or ready for it. One of our own social science teachers said he was watching the president's speech the other night and had serious concerns that he may actually have coronavirus. Said he does not look well. I'm trying to be logical and calm about this, but in truth I'm scared. I got my flu vaccine, so I know if I feel symptoms, what it means. I'm tempted, with three weeks off, to get in the car and come to you right now. a lot of driving, and exposure to people, when I should really hermit myself and just stay in my cave, drink, eat cheez-its, and pretend I'm agoraphobic cause you can't have Armageddon without cheez-its.



I just wanna have my VA eval on Monday, please do not let them cancel it.
