January 28, 2021 Update Re: Vaccines - What to Bring With You
Dear Colleagues,
We are continuing to receive notifications from employees experiencing issues at vaccine locations with presented forms of identification being questioned. As we shared initially, it is best to take all forms of identification you have available to prove your employment with TVUSD and confirm your identity. The clinics at the county and local resources (Ralphs, Albertsons) are being staffed by constantly changing help, and we are finding criteria are being left up to individual interpretation, in some cases.To assist you, please remember to take as much of the following with you. When you sign up for the vaccine, you should receive a confirmation that will advise what you need to bring.- Personal forms of identification, drivers license, id cards
- Medical insurance cards
- TVUSD employee badge, a letter confirming your employment (the process to obtain a letter is on the employee COVID website https://www.tvusd.k12.
ca.us/Page/28288 ).
If you encounter someone who wants you to show a badge AND a letter and you only have one, please direct them to the information below. You can take a screenshot of the county's website. The county has specified ID badge/letter from the place of employment. The (/) is an OR, not AND requirement. If you have both a badge and a letter, please take both, to save yourself the potential trouble.We know accessing the vaccines continues to be complicated. We are still working with the county and local resources to advance offerings for employees. Shortages are being experienced nationwide. As soon as we have any new information to share, we will forward it.Have a safe and healthy Thursday.LauraLaura BossPublic Information OfficerTemecula Valley Unified School Districtlboss@tvusd.us

January 14, 2021 COVID-19 Vaccine Updates/How to Obtain TVUSD Employment Verification Form
Dear Colleagues,
We know many TVUSD employees are contemplating the COVID-19 vaccine. For those who have opted to pursue the vaccine, below is information to assist you. Please know, we are doing our best to share information as it becomes available. The vaccine clinics are coordinated by Riverside County Public Health and we understand there is some misinformation circulating when employees are contacting them for vaccine appointments. The information they have shared and posted on their public website is that education employees are now eligible and are now able to make appointments for the vaccine. If you experience any issues, the County will have to resolve them for you directly. We will continue to advocate for education employees to be prioritized.
Proof and Identification Required for the Vaccine
The County has suggested that the following forms of employment identification can be used for verification to receive the vaccine.
-
Employee badge
-
Paystub
-
Employment Verification Letter
Because the vaccine clinics are being coordinated and managed throughout the County and subject to interpretation by the individuals running the clinics, we recommend that you take as many forms of employment identification as you can to verify your eligibility.
If you need a letter from TVUSD verifying your employment, here is the process you will need to follow.
For Employees Who Have A Scheduled Appointment TODAY ONLY:
Before 4 PM today, please send an email, with provider verification of your scheduled appointment, to the Human Resources Department to the attention of Nancy Mireles nmireles@tvusd.us for certificated staff and the attention of Kathy Sims ksims@tvusd.us for classified staff. Your email needs to include:
Your First and Last Name
Your Title
Your Site/DepartmentProvider Verification of Your Appointment Scheduled on January 14, 2021
The Human Resources Department will send back to you via email a pdf verification letter that you can print and take to your appointment TODAY.
For Employees Who Have Appointments Beginning Tomorrow, Friday, January 15, 2021
Here are your options:
Employees Print Their Own Forms:
-
Employees can access the Etrieve forms online and download the verification form from their Etrieve account and print. The directions will be updated later today and another email will be distributed to all employees.
School Site/Department Prints Forms:
-
A pdf file with completed employee verification forms will be sent to all school sites and department administrative offices. The pdf file will be accessible by the site/department administration and site/department secretary. Employees can contact their site/department office and request a copy be printed for them and arrange pick-up.
We understand that the vaccine appointments fill up quickly and that available slots may not coincide with every employee’s work schedule. We encourage you to select an appointment time that coordinates with your work schedule to the best of your ability. For appointments that do not coordinate with an employee’s work schedule, they should report their absence in accordance with their respective collective bargaining negotiated agreements.
Please bookmark the following site and check it often for updated vaccine clinic offerings. https://www.ruhealth.org/

January 13, 2021 - COVID-19 Vaccine Clinics and Offerings
Dear Colleagues,
We have just learned through other channels that Riverside County Public Health has updated its website and is currently taking appointments for Tier 1B individuals, and includes employees working in education.
Please see RIVCOPH's website for details, information, and answers to your questions about the vaccine, process, and requirements.
For those employees who do not have an employee ID badge as required to identify you as a district employee to receive the vaccination, we will provide an electronic letter. We will distribute the access information tomorrow.
Please know this information is just now being shared and it appears that RivCOPH hasn't completed updating their website with all of the info you may need. In the meantime, we encourage you to check the site and if appointment slots are full, please check back often. They indicate on their website that they will be continuing to open additional slots, including some walk-up clinics. Unfortunately, we were not notified by the County directly, and only learned of this through back channels and wanted to get to you as soon as possible.We are also working closely with local vaccine distributors and hope to have more options for employees soon. -

COVID-19 Testing Resources
-
At this point, there is no clear direction about where the state legislature will land regarding employee testing. The current mandate is that we follow the testing cadence according to Cal/OSHA requirements, which requires that we offer (not mandate) response testing as part of potential exposure situations and provide information to our employees on available testing at no cost to employees. As a reminder, employees are to follow the self-assessment process and make sure they are not on a District site/facility if experiencing symptoms. Employees who are feeling sick or experiencing symptoms should use the reporting procedures on the following website.
Additionally, the District has been offering voluntary testing clinics at various school sites. We are currently developing rotating, site-based schedules to offer optional, self-administered PCR testing in accordance with the testing cadence recommendations put forward by the California Department of Public Health. Weekly schedules can be accessed via the following link. Testing is also available at the Risk Management (Building #24) between 7:30 am-4:30 pm any day during the week to take a test.
The linked document details the COVID-19 optional testing offerings and processes for TVUSD employees and students for the 2020-21 school year. The link for the document is available here.
There are also community-based options for free testing, including through the Riverside County Department of Public Health https://gettested.ruhealth.org/home, your healthcare provider, and many drug stores and private labs that may bill your insurance.
The City of Temecula maintains a robust list of available COVID testing resources. We encourage you to visit their page for available options. https://temeculaca.gov/1384/Local-COVID-19-Testing-Sites
The City of Murrieta has also posted resources here

Second Dose - What You Need to Know
-
For individuals who received their first dose at one of the public health vaccine clinics, automatic emails will be sent when it is time to make an appointment for your second dose. You may make an appointment for a second dose at any location where you can secure a time, including at a doctor, pharmacy, or urgent care clinic. The appointment does not have to be made precisely on the 21-day or 28-day mark. It can occur after, just not before.
- Please note that if you received the Pfizer vaccine for your first dose, you must receive the Pfizer second dose. The same is true for the first Moderna vaccine. Check your vaccination card to see which vaccine you received. At the time of making your second appointment, inquire which vaccine is currently available.
