COVID-19 and Safe Steps to Return to Campus

Picture
Step One: In-person learning will be different.  Learn about it and see pictures here. 
  • Masks will be required, 6 feet distance between people, controlled walkways and entrances, etc.
  • Students will be required to take a COVID test 7 days before school resumes in-person and every week they are in school.  To Schedule a COVID-19 Test for your child 5-7 days before In-Person start date, click on this link or through the Daily Pass: https://achieve.lausd.net/covidtestingappt
  • Students and families will be required to use the Daily Pass every day to check in to campus.
    • Learn about it here: Video in English / Español​
    • Use your Parent Portal login on the Daily Pass.  If you haven't registered for the Parent Portal, find video instructions on this page.
    • If families do not have access to smartphones or computers at home, they will be asked to check in on the computer at school.
  • LAUSD Resources

Step Two: Choose whether your student will return in-person or learn online.  We understand this structure is not normal nor ideal.  LAUSD is hoping to help students who have not done well with remote learning.
  • Teachers will teach the same lesson twice a day: once for the morning group, once for the afternoon group.
  • If your child is in-person in the morning, he or she will have independent work in the afternoon.  If your child is remote in the afternoon, he or she will have independent work in the morning.
  • The graphic shows how your teacher's class maybe be split up.  We will not know if the teacher will teach one in-person and one remote class or two of each until you complete the survey by 03/19/21:  https://reopening.lausd.net/familyselection
    • ​If you change your mind, fill out the survey again and the most recent survey will be submitted by LAUSD.
    • If you'd like to check your submission was received correctly, please email Principal Brusca at axm2368@lausd.net with your choice.
​
Step Three: If your student is returning to campus, the student's day will be very regimented.
  • ​Drop-off and pick-up times will be staggered and at different gates.  See below for schedule.
  • Parents and guardians will not be able to drop off your child as normal. 
    • There will be a temperature check.
    • Scan Daily Pass for fast entry or check-in at the school on https://dailypass.lausd.net
    • Any student who shows signs of illness or temperature will be sent home.
  • Students are required to wear masks all day.
  • Everyone will use hand sanitizer before entering classrooms.
Miscellaneous:
  • After School Care: Beyond the Bell is the Child Care Provider for students who enrolled through the program selection. Parents must pick up their child by 4 pm from this program.   For after school care, PLEASE FILL OUT THIS FORM AND TURN IT INTO THE SCHOOL AS SOON AS POSSIBLE (English / Spanish)
  • If students want to go from remote learning to in-person they can only do so at determined times every 2 weeks so the school can figure out classes.
  • Students can go to remote learning at any time.
  • Any mask that completely covers the nose and mouth can be worn.  The school will provide masks if masks are lost or if students do not have them.
  • Students who show symptoms or who are unable to remain masked will be quarantined and guardians contacted for immediate pick-up.
  • LAUSD FAQ on what happens when someone tests positive.
Watch what returning to campus might look like for your elementary student:

​Here is the In-Person schedule for drop-off / pick-up times and gates.  Please note Mondays are a shortened day.  
  • ​Only students will be allowed on campus. Parents will have to say goodbye at the gate.
  • There will be a temperature check.
  • Scan Daily Pass for fast entry or check-in at the school on https://dailypass.lausd.net
  • Any student who shows signs of illness or temperature will be sent home.
  • Students are required to wear masks all day.
  • Everyone will use hand sanitizer before entering classrooms.
