Coronavirus Updates
March 19, 2020
Dear Twin Rivers Unified Families,
(PLEASE SEE SURVEY LINK BELOW)
We are making steady progress with our response teams as we prepare to support students and families in this new environment. District leaders have been actively participating in several conference calls with federal, state and county partners to voice parent concerns, raise employee matters and clarify the guidance received thus far on steps school districts should take to help slow the spread of the COVID-19 virus. We thank families and students for their patience and quick action in following federal, state and county directives.
Given the new Sacramento County guidelines, we would like to offer these resources to our families.
- Preparing for Distance Learning - Please take this quick survey, so we can help get technology available for all students.

Update: March 13, 2020
Twin Rivers Families and Community:
Twin Rivers Unified is committed to keeping our families up-to-date with information on COVID-19 as we receive guidance from the California Department of Public Health and Sacramento County Public Health. At this time, public health officials have not diagnosed any cases of COVID-19 in our schools and have not advised that we close schools.
However, after long and careful deliberation, and in collaboration with other surrounding districts, we have determined it best to temporarily close our schools to protect the health and well-being of our students and staff as we try to help slow the spread of COVID-19. All schools will be closed from Monday, March 16 through Friday April 3. Our Spring break will still be held from Monday, April 6 through Monday, April 13. Schools will resume session on Tuesday, April 14.
The District will use this time to conduct a deep cleaning and sanitizing of all sites and departments.
As this is a rapidly evolving situation, we appreciate your patience and understanding.

Sacramento County Public Health UpdatesGo to Top
As of March 19, 2020, at 11:59 p.m., the Sacramento County Health Officer is directing all individuals living in the county to stay at their place of residence except for essential activities. The legal order is based on the same directives of social distancing issued this week to slow the transmission of the disease, but it provides more detail and enforcement ability. The legal order limits activity, travel and business functions to only the most essential needs and is intended to protect those most vulnerable to the disease, slow the spread of the novel coronavirus, and preserve local healthcare capacity.
