Moving all possible instruction and operations online will at least provide the opportunity to continue classes and educational services for many of our students.
We certainly understand that not all students have access to the technology tools (including computers and high-speed internet) to participate in online classes. We are asking faculty and staff to be as flexible as possible when considering this historic circumstance.
We are also considering all available resources to provide support for students to help close technology gaps that might interfere with their ability to participate in an online environment.

For anyyone else who is ill and taking online classes, please work with your instructor as you typically would if you’re going to miss a required on-screen synchronized interaction. Remember, all Shasta College facilities are closed to the public and students.
Anyone who has a fever, cough, or shortness of breath are being pre-screened at our front gate and are being told to stay away from campus if they have symptoms, even if the symptoms are mild. To encourage sick individuals to stay away from campus, faculty, and supervisors are encouraged to provide flexibility for students and staff, as well as minimize any penalties for absence due to sickness. If you feel concerns about the faculty member’s approach, contact your Dean or the division office for support.

The Shasta College Early Childhood Education (ECE) center and lab school on the main Redding Campus resumed in-person operations starting August 17. All staff members will engage in self-screening before reporting to work. Children will receive a screening curbside or outside the facility before being admitted. Staggered drop-off and pickup times will help reduce the risk of exposure for staff and children. Children will be dispersed in small groups of 10 or less, and all materials will be sanitized throughout the day.
The Shasta Head Start program will be conducting classes through virtual learning. Please refer to https://www.facebook.com/shastaheadstart for additional updates.
