We are implementing different layers of safety including, but not limited to, requiring periodic testing for all students and staff, daily health screening, upgraded air filtration systems, requiring the use of face masks, and additional staff to clean and sanitize the classrooms.

You will be notified by your school principal if your child has to quarantine. Each quarantine situation is unique. While your child is at home, they will continue their learning with the curriculum currently used by the class or teacher. Every effort will be made to ensure continuity of learning. Your child will stay in their home school and will not be placed into the City of Angels online program. You can read more about COVID protocols here: https://achieve.lausd.net/covidfaq

Under current law, the student would be marked absent, excused. Videoconferencing for Continuity of Learning can happen while students have an excused absence. This will assist students in making up assignments for full credit and is an option for students in this situation.

No, but it is encouraged. Your child has the option of participating online while under quarantine orders. Participating can help students keep up with their schoolwork. 

Students who are in quarantine can complete their make-up work for full credit upon return to school. 

While physical distancing is not required per County Department of Public Health, maximizing physical distancing whenever possible will be encouraged. Additionally, other prevention measures such as masks and air filtration will be in place.

Cohorts are no longer mandatory so students will be allowed to safely play with other students during recess and lunch.

In accordance with County guidance, the District is making decisions in the best interest of students. The County has not expressed concern with using water fountains. The District is working to bring students back to school with a sense of normalcy while also ensuring their safety. Schools will also continue to provide water bottles to students. Students may also bring their own water bottles.

The School Volunteer Program in place prior to the start of the pandemic for on-campus offerings will resume in the new school year and will follow the District's COVID-19 safety protocols. A volunteer guide and one-pager will be available before the first day of school at https://achieve.lausd.net/Page/10443.

All visitors must check in and complete an individual sign-in form which includes name, phone number, email address and name(s) of any individual who may have accompanied him/her at the school's check -in area. Any visitor coming on campus must review the Daily Health Check screening questions.

When applying, all candidates will be asked to accept a liability waiver in the event they contract COVID-19.
