As the level of the virus in the Los Angeles area remains widespread, state guidelines say schools cannot reopen at this time, and we will not reopen schools until it’s safe and appropriate to do so. We are preparing to serve students at schools as soon as it’s possible, in the safest way possible. Detailed information on the safety protocols at schools and instructional models we’re preparing can be found in the Return to Campus Family Guide.

The Black Family is the theme of this year’s African American History Month. First celebrated as Negro History Week in 1926, it became Black History Month in 1976. Dr. Carter G. Woodson created it to honor the contributions of Americans of African ancestry. He chose February, the birth month of Frederick Douglass, the abolitionist and writer and President Abraham Lincoln, who emancipated people who had been enslaved. Today, more than 48 million African Americans live in the United States.

As we work together to raise awareness about mental health, reduce stigma and discrimination related to mental illness, and prevent suicides, it is vitally important that we take care of ourselves. During this stressful time, we remind you all, to place an emphasis on your own self-care. Take time to breathe, meditate, exercise, get plenty of sleep, and take a break from the news and social media periodically. We encourage you to visit the EMM resource center where you will find self-care articles, graphics, and tips to share on social media.
