Welcome back to school!

1 Welcome back to school ! I hope this message finds you safe and well. I also hope you had the opportunity to reconnect with family and friends over the summer break. The last school year was unprecedented for everyone. Our students, employees, and families faced unique challenges as COVID-19 forced schools to close, disrupted lives and caused personal losses and hardships. As we start the new school year, we want to help our students recover from the trauma of the pandemic, deepen our relationships, and reinforce positive supports. Our focus in the new year is to create more opportunities for our students to feel supported, enjoy learning and reach their full potential. For the 2021-22 school year, LA Unified is offering all students full-day, in-person instruction five days a week.

2 We are adding more reading and math instruction in kindergarten through third grade, providing additional courses to our middle and high school students, updating technology, creating more opportunities for small group tutoring and providing extra academic and social emotional support for every student. Families who need their child to continue learning from home will have the option of participating in an online program provided by LA Unified. Parents are our partners in educating students, and your participation and feedback are essential to our success. Your suggestions and questions are important and I encourage you to share them with me at: Thank you for your continued support. Megan K.

We encourage our families to check for LA Unified updates at: 1 ATTENDANCE school attendance is an important measure of student engagement and a strong predictor of student academic achievement. Students who maintain good attendance are much more likely to be successful, both academically and socially. Every student is expected to attend school for the length of the school day on a daily basis unless there is a valid justification for the absence (Education Code Section 48200). The goal for all students is to maintain an attendance rate of 96% or higher, which means no more than seven (7) absences all year long.
