Update:

Classrooms will be equipped with

• MERV 13 filters for the HVAC systems where possible
• Hepa air purifiers
• Venting and circulating fans

Doors and windows may have to remain open for additional airflow. 

Update:

The District will comply with ACPHD and CDPH requirements regarding physical distancing between students and staff on campus.  The District shall recommend and encourage physical distancing to the extent practicable, between  students and adults, and adults and adults. 

During activities when increased exhalation occurs, such as singing, shouting, band practice, sports, or exercise, these activities should be moved outdoors or to large, well-ventilated spaces whenever reasonably possible.

Each school site will prepare directions for families that show where and how students can be dropped off at school. There may be different drop off and pick up locations for different grade levels. We will ask that all families use the drop off and pick up lane, and not park or leave your cars, unless otherwise directed by your Principal.

Parents and caregivers will not be allowed on campus at this time. Should a student need to get picked up early for whatever reason, the school office will call parents to make arrangements. When dropping off or picking up students, we ask that parents not leave their cars and use the drop off/pick up lane.
