Secondary Students to return to in-person instruction student schedule after County moves to Red Tier
PASO ROBLES — After almost a year to the day, San Luis Obispo County moves into the Red Tier, which allows all students to be able to attend school in-person.
During the Feb. 23 Paso Robles Joint Unified School District (PRJUSD) meeting, trustees and staffed agreed that if the County is moved into the Red Tier by Mar. 9, they plan to have their students back on campus no later than Mar. 16.
Upon hearing the news, the County is now moving at an accelerated progression into the Red Tier because of the case rate and positivity rate, which met the right goals per County Health Officer, Dr. Penny Borenstein. PRJUSD released a back-to-school schedule via social media immediately following.

With the news that the students can return to in-person learning, a few of the Paso Robles High School staff members came together and created a welcome back video to ease the transition and help the students feel safe upon return.
While dancing and lip-synching to the Disney Frozen’s hit-song “First Time in Forever,” Jen Gaviola, Deputy Superintendent, Marcy Keyser-Goodnow, PRHS Teacher (Paso High Theatre), Jennifer Bedrosian, PRHS Teacher (Dance Director/Activities Director), Jenny Martinez, PRHS Teacher (Psychology) and Gaylene Ewing, PRHS Teacher (Science) frolic and run through the halls of the Paso Robles High School to express their excitement and uncertainty moving forward in this “new world.”
For the first time in forever… students will return to campus, and the teachers and staff explain they could not be more thrilled.
The creative inspiration behind the musical-themed video remake to Disney Frozen’s “First Time in Forever” was Jen Gaviola, Deputy Superintendent, and Paso Robles High School Teachers, Marcy Keyser-Goodnow, Jennifer Bedrosian, Jenny Martinez, and Gaylene Ewing.
