Homeschooling – Milpitas Homeschool Support Group

I, Ann Zeise, your GoMilpitas webmaster, also had a very large and popular homeschooling website, A2Z Home’s Cool for over 2 decades. In 2017 I sold it to Time4Learning as the site had become too large for one person to run. I needed “staff.” In 2023 they removed to site from the internet, so I created this archive of the site from the Way Back Machine.

Locally, though. I continue to serve homeschool families in my area in California. For those in Milpitas considering homeschooling, check Should we homeschool independently during Covid-19?

On Facebook I have a page for Milpitas Homeschool Support – East Side Silicon Valley, California as well as the Milpitas Homeschool Support Group for discussing more private matters and field trip plans among ourselves. This is ONLY for families currently homeschooling from their home in Milpitas CA. If your profile says you live elsewhere, even San Jose or Fremont, your application for membership will be denied. If you are thinking about homeschooling, contact me directly.

On the page I post interesting, educational, and fun things for Milpitas and other area homeschool families to do. Just “Like” and “Follow” the page to the degree you want to see the ideas and events posted there. Those who “Like” the site are encouraged to also offer interesting activities. While I would like to offer a park day, there has not been enough interest. I’ll leave that up to someone else to organize. The Group cannot be viewed by others than members. It is a good place to talk about how you and your kids are fairing, without concern about your mother-in-law seeing the post.

Social Distancing Activities for Kids
Whether you have been homeschooling for years or find yourself “accidentally” homeschooling because of the pandemic, you may find it even more difficult to incorporate socialization into your school day. Parks and museums may not be options right now, but there are still some social distancing activities for kids that will allow socialization while safely social distancing.

Kite Flying at Ben Rogers Park
Kite Flying at Ben Rogers Park

If you’d like to come play at Ben Rogers Park on Wednesdays, please come. My home is on the west side of the park, the one with all the red geraniums you can see from the playground. If the dark gray Rav 4 is in the driveway, then I am home. Just knock on the door, and I’ll come out to join you. My homeschooled kid is now in his 30s, and hasn’t played in the park for decades. But this grandmother still likes to walk in the park, pet the dogs, and enjoy watching the children play. If you happen to have questions bout homeschooling, I’d love to do my best to answer, or point out resources. The park has picnic tables and barbecues, a sandlot with playground equipment, dog-friendly (with bags, leashes required), a geocache and tons of good Pokemon destinations. Plenty of space to fly a kite or drone.

If you’d rather call, our home phone is 408-823-8247. Leave a text message for a quick response.

Call me to ask me questions about homeschooling in California or text via Facebook, if you’d like, but ONLY if you live in California.

Here are some useful links for local homeschoolers.

Homeschool Rooms
While homeschooling can be done in any room, indoors or out, some families want to makeover the playroom into a place for learning and projects. Here are some ideas…and some that I have reviewed as to be avoided.

HomeSchool Association of California
First look at their Quick Guide to Homeschooling During a Crisis. It will give you all you need to know to get started and get in touch.

Starting to Homeschool
Families decide to homeschool for all sorts of reasons, and then often continue homeschooling simply because the freedom is so sweet and they like the affect it’s had on their children and family life. They like living joyfully with children.

Elmwood Jail

Santa Clara County Correctional Facility in Milpitas, California

Also known as Elmwood jail, has facilities for minimum- and medium-security men and women. GoMilpitas.com, where you are now, is NOT related to the jail, but is a resource for those with relatives incarcerated there.

Fentanyl overdoses reported at Santa Clara County jails
One inmate died Saturday at the Main Jail; 13 others at Elmwood Correctional Facility were treated at area hospitals

SAN JOSE – As the Santa Clara County Sheriff’s Office contends with a spike in fentanyl overdoses at the Elmwood Correctional Facility in Milpitas, the medical examiner-coroner’s office has identified a 44-year-old inmate who died after apparently coming into contact with the opioid last week at the Main Jail in San Jose.

Deputies at the Main Jail were conducting welfare checks around 8:20 a.m. on March 11 when they found 44-year-old Roland Wrigley unresponsive on the floor of his cell, Sgt. Michael Low said in a statement.

Wrigley was given CPR as well as Narcan, a medicine used to counteract an opioid overdose, but he was pronounced dead at the scene a short time later, Low said.

The in-custody death follows a “substantial amount” of fentanyl overdoses last week at the Elmwood Correctional Facility, Low said. The first two cases were reported on March 8, with a total of 13 inmates eventually being treated at hospitals.

COVID vaccinations to expand for jailed, unhoused people in Santa Clara County
PUBLISHED: February 25, 2021 at 1:36 p.m. | UPDATED: February 25, 2021 at 1:38 p.m.
Expansion occurs alongside various Bay Area efforts to ramp up vaccine access in jails, encampments, homeless shelters.
Santa Clara County, however, is going beyond that, moving into Phase 1B, Tier 2 of the state’s vaccination priority framework, which offers broad vaccine eligibility to incarcerated and unhoused people, as supplies allow.

Santa Clara County inmates report unsafe conditions, go on hunger strike as COVID-19 cases soar
Surge of coronavirus cases surfaced this week in a single housing unit, authorities and inmates confirm
PUBLISHED: January 16, 2021
Inmates in Santa Clara County’s jails are on a hunger strike as cases of COVID-19 rage through the correctional system amid reports of unsanitary, unsafe and cruel conditions.
As of Jan. 14, there were 109 active cases of COVID-19 among county inmates, a slight dip from a high of 127 earlier in the week.
The report included first-person stories from those inside the jails detailing unsafe and negligent conditions.
“(I am housed in a) dorm setting at M-8-C Elmwood. There are approximately 65 beds and approximately 61 beds full,” said one anonymous inmate in the report. “Last week, every bed was full. The bunks are 2 1/2 feet apart. No room at all for social distancing – if your neighbor coughs, it goes right in your face.”

Covid-19 Concerns at Elmwood Jail

Can I visit an inmate during the Covid-19 shutdown?
All scheduled and future social visits are cancelled and will be re-evaluated on 5/31/20. However, the Sheriff’s Office has collaborated with GTL to gift each inmate two 5-minute phone calls per week; effective 3/17/20 to 5/31/20. To be reviewed prior to 5/31/20.

Bay Area jail numbers down, but urgency persists over COVID-19 danger
Inmate, attorney, correctional officer accounts continue to illustrate struggles to enforce safe distancing and increased sanitation, contrary to officials’ statements

Coronavirus: Mass jail, prison releases leave some Bay Area inmates on the streets
PUBLISHED: To reach those people, Andy Gutierrez, a Santa Clara County deputy public defender, has been spending hours at a table outside the Elmwood Correctional Complex in Milpitas, handing out masks, hand sanitizer, snacks and information to people leaving the jail. Every day he’s there, Gutierrez, other activists and county Reentry Services staff meet newly released inmates who have nowhere to stay, he said.

Ski Northern California nearest Bay Area!

Updated for the 2022-23 ski season.

No, it doesn’t often snow in Milpitas, and never enough to ski, but many love to head to the Northern California slopes near Truckee, Lake Tahoe and Yosemite. Here’s our favorite nearby ski areas within about a 4-hour drive of Silicon Valley or San Francisco.

The recent storm brought blizzard conditions to the Sierras. Many resorts are closing some or all lifts, and roads up in the Sierras are dangerous driving. As the Weekend of December 16-18 approaches, roads may be clearing up.

If I missed one, please email me with the URL if you have it.
