PLEASE NOTE - it is critical that you check your email and Canvas and communicate with your instructors and coaches to stay abreast of the schedule, plans and updates.
Covid Testing
We are close to finalizing a schedule for Covid testing at Plumas District Hospital. Times will be scheduled for students who live in Student Housing. You should receive an email from Student Housing before the end of the week. Other students with an on-campus component will be able to schedule an appointment that corresponds with when they will begin face-to-face instruction. The link to schedule will be available next week.
Healthy Roster – Safer Play Symptom Monitoring
All students are STRONGLY encouraged to complete daily screening for two weeks prior to returning to Plumas County/ testing. A student who is positive may not move into housing, attend classes in person, or be on campus until they have completed their isolation order per Public Health. If you are enrolled in a class that meets in-person and have not yet used this system, watch for an email invite from Healthy Roster. You can also download the Heathy Roster app to complete screening.
Greetings,
Yesterday, Governor Newsom lifted the Stay-at-Home order for the Greater Sacramento region, which includes Plumas County (see attached).
In a brief meeting today, we outlined the following changes at FRC relative to this new information. It is important to note that Plumas County remains in the Purple Tier. Our approach at FRC will be a “soft opening” given the remaining seriousness of COVID in our region. Priorities for opening will be in areas where students may need face-to-face assistance.
Take-aways:
Please ask if there are any questions and be safe.
Sincerely,
Kevin Trutna
President
Good afternoon students,
We hope you are having a relaxing break and are recharging for the New Year! We know how challenging the fall semester was given the COVID pandemic, we celebrate your success and your continued commitment to your education as you plan to return to FRC for the spring semester. As you are probably aware, Governor Newsom’s stay-at-home order is still in effect for the Greater Sacramento Region (which includes Plumas County). With the exception of classes that are considered “Essential Infrastructure”, we will not be able to return students to campus for limited instruction or to the dorms while the order is in place. However, the semester will still begin on January 19th with all classes online and we are continuing to plan and prepare for students to return do the dorms and more face-to-face instruction in February. As a reminder, your schedule (accessible in MyFRC) indicates if your classes are fully online or hybrid. Below are the dates that we are planning for Essential Infrastructure courses with a face-to-face component to begin.
STAY-AT-HOME ORDER
Week of January 19
Week of February 1
Week of February 16
*There may be some variations to the above classes and start dates, so it is important to check your email and canvas site. Reach out to your instructors if you are unsure.
If the order is lifted by late January, we will resume additional face-face instruction (bold text below depicts the additional courses):
Beginning Week of February 1
Week of February 16
PLEASE NOTE - it is critical that you check your email and Canvas and communicate with your instructors and coaches to stay abreast of the schedule, plans and updates.
In addition, we are working with Plumas District Hospital and Plumas County Public Health Agency to develop a COVID testing protocol and schedule based on the students projected return date. All students who have a class that meets in person will need to be tested. Students who live in the dorms will not be able to move into their room until we receive a negative result. More information will be forthcoming regarding the testing schedule and protocol.
Finally, we will be requiring the Safer Play daily symptom screening for all students in housing and enrolled in class with an on-campus component. Additional information regarding how to access and use the screening toll will be send in the coming weeks.
We are all eager to get back to normalcy and will as soon as it is safe for our students, staff, and community. Please continue to check email for additional updates.

Dear FRC students,
I am writing to provide current guidance on our plans for the start of the Spring 2021 semester that is quickly approaching. Due to the COVID-19 surge, Plumas County is currently under a stay-at-home order that will affect our ability to resume in-person instruction as planned on January 19. Despite some uncertainty about the timing of in-person instruction, all full-term classes are going to begin on January 19 as originally scheduled so you should make sure that you’re actively monitoring your Canvas courses and communicating with your teachers by this date. The attached document below will be posted to our website and provides detail on when certain programs and activities will resume for in-person instruction. If there are any exceptions to this timeline for specific courses, your instructors will communicate directly with you to inform you of those exceptions.
I know that COVID-19 has created many challenges for all of you, I want you to know that FRC appreciates your efforts to continue to reach your educational goals despite these challenges. I wish you good luck in your finals this week, I hope that you can finish strong and enjoy your holiday break. All of us at FRC look forward to serving you in the spring semester.

An outbreak of respiratory illness caused by the COVID-19 form of the coronavirus has been identified as starting in Wuhan, China. Some patients have had mild illness, while others have been more severe and some have died.
The California Department of Public Health is reporting that although there are concerns about novel coronavirus, the health risk to the general public in California remains low. While COVID-19 has a high transmission rate, it has a low mortality rate. From the international data, of those who have tested positive for COVID-19, approximately 80% do not exhibit symptoms that would require hospitalization, according to the Public Health Department.
At the present time, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has identified five geographical areas or countries that are affected by “widespread or sustained community transmission” of the COVID-19 form of the coronavirus: China, Iran, Italy, Japan, and South Korea. The government has asked that travelers avoid travel to those countries rated with a Level 3 Warning (China, South Korea, and Italy) and consider postponing travel to Level 2 areas (Iran and Japan). Other destinations that are being closely watched are Hong Kong, Singapore, Taiwan, and Thailand. Learn more.
As a reminder, we ask everyone to take responsibility for your health and hygiene as this affects our work and learning environments. Please take note of the following:
