Launching Our 2020-21 School Year

As a result of recent guidance and mandates from the state of California and Alameda County, Black Pine Circle School began the 2020-2021 academic year on Thursday, September 3 with distance learning for every grade, K-8. Once it is determined that students and faculty can return to on-campus learning we will phase in hybrid models of instruction, beginning with our youngest grades first.
