IN PERSON POD QUESTIONS

What happens if my pod teacher cannot make it?

An interim POD teacher will be available if only parents give consent for the substitution upon notification of the POD teacher’s absence.  Should POD service get interrupted due to teacher’s absence and parents decline the substitution arrangement, credit will be given on the missed day of POD service in this case.

Will there be more in-person pods in the future?

We will only offer in person POD contingent to teacher availability and willingness to be exposed to a pod on safety concern.   Should COVID cases surges in Alameda County, we will reserve the right to put the service on hold.
