Dear Walden Families,
Walden students have been invited to participate in painting a community mural in Berkeley that will be painted on a fence located on the east side of Shattuck Avenue between Dwight and Blake streets. The mural painting day is April 20th, from 10:30AM-1:00PM. No preparation is needed, but please RSVP, and wear clothes that can get a little messy!
The mural has been designed by local artist Nigel Sussman, and is called “We are all Neighbors!”
Please RSVP as soon as you can, so I can let the organizers know how many students from Walden are planning on participating. This is a great opportunity to use your art skills to uplift your local community and leave your mark!
-Ruth

Walden’s COVID policy is guided and informed by the California Department of Public Health (CDPH) guidelines. Walden makes a concerted effort to follow these guidelines as closely as possible.
On January 9, 2024 the CDPH updated their covid guidelines, in recognition of the fact that, as they stated, “we are now at a different point in time with reduced impacts from COVID-19 compared to prior years, due to broad immunity from vaccination and/or natural infection, and readily available treatments for infected people.” CDPH states that the new guidance “is focused on protecting those most at risk for serious illness, while reducing social disruption that is disproportionate to recommendations for the prevention of other endemic respiratory viral infections.” Walden’s policy on testing, isolation, and masking has therefore been updated to reflect these recent changes in the CDPH guidelines.
