News & Announcements

We will return to school on Monday, Jan. 13 for regular instruction and schedules.

This is Principal Montoya with an important update.

We will return to school on Monday, Jan. 13 for regular instruction and schedules. We will be on a full inclement weather schedule which limits outdoor and athletics activities. Masks will also be provided for those who prefer to wear them.

Thanks to the tireless work of District employees who cleaned schools and classrooms, and first responders and local authorities who ensured the safety of our school communities, we were able to restore normal school schedules and instruction as quickly as possible.

I know this has been a difficult time for everyone. Los Angeles Unified students and families in need of mental health support are encouraged to call our Student and Family Wellness Resource Line at 213-241-3840. Support is currently available between 7 a.m. and 6 p.m., Monday through Friday.

Employees may access Employee Assistance Service for Education (EASE) by visiting https://www.lausd.org/domain/1438 or calling the 24/7 support line at 800-882-1341.

Please visit lausd.org for the latest information.
