Resuming In-Person Activities
The Los Angeles County Department of Public Health confirmed that, following a strongly recommended brief pause, it is safe for school districts to resume in-person services on February 1. We look forward to resuming on-campus activities, including childcare in our Technology Learning Pods, Facilitated Learning Centers, kindergarten instruction at Mann Elementary, athletic conditioning, and on-site assessments, this Monday, February 1. We remain confident that the systems we have put in place on our campuses are effective at keeping students and employees safe and healthy.
