Over winter break our famous school garden got a total makeover! It has been unused since March of 2020 and was an absolute mess. Now it is cleaned up! The redwood raised beds were built and installed with irrigation drip systems and lined with weed cloth and gopher wire. Thank you to Enadia’s own Ponce family’s landscaping business, Caliente Landscaping, for such amazing work! The children are so excited to get to work in the garden soon and visit the chickens. Parent volunteers are needed to assist the children with spring planting! Please email Jessica.soto@lausd.net if you would like to apply to be a LAUSD volunteer and be able to help your child’s grade level in the garden mid-February through May.

 

Coming back to school has been rough! Since the baseline testing started on January 3, 21% of our students have tested positive! That’s 47 students with COVID-19 in the last 2 ½ weeks! I know how difficult this winter break has been for so many of our families who have been sick with COVID and whose extended family members have been sick. The children are joyful and so happy to see their teachers and friends. It breaks my heart to know how disruptive COVID-19 has been to the childrens’  social-emotional and academic development, yet warms my heart to see the smiles and hear the laughter of being in school. Being with children and hearing the funny things they say is the best part of my job. They bring me joy and cheer me up when everything else is crashing down around me. Thank you for sending your children to school! :)

 

Please upload your child’s vaccination information into the Daily Pass, if you haven’t already done so. Students who are fully vaccinated are exempt from the new modified quarantine orders, but only if the District has the records in the Daily Pass app.

 

Students who are close contacts, and those formerly positive students returning on Day 6,  must wear surgical-style masks while at school until the 10 day “watch period” is over.  

 

Please refer to the linked flow charts to help understand the new shortened orders. It is radically different from what we had to do before winter break. It is designed to get everyone back to school and work as fast as possible.
