Message from Our Team
Dear Parents and Supporters,
Happy New Year! We hope that you enjoyed your holidays and that your family is healthy and well.
Winter quarter kicks off a long stretch of academic focus for our students. Unlike fall quarter that concludes with a long holiday break, winter quarter segues into spring quarter with only one short week in between. This is a great time of year to consider sending a care package or some encouraging notes to your Mustang.
As we more forward into the academic year, please continue to monitor the Cal Poly Coronavirus website for campus updates and encourage your Mustang to help slow the spread of COVID-19 by wearing masks, practicing social distancing and washing their hands. If your student has recently recovered from COVID-19, please remind them to not let their guard down as immunity from this virus is not completely understood.
Thank you for your ongoing support! Enjoy this month’s edition of Poly Parent News.
Sincerely,
Parent and Family Programs Team
