FAMILY GUIDE
Spring Edition 2021
MESSAGE FROM SUPERINTENDENT
Dear Family,
I hope this finds you and your family safe and well. It’s been an extraordinary year since COVID-19 forced the closure
of school classrooms. A time of sacrifice and determination, pain and suffering, and moments of hope and optimism
– sometimes all in the same day. I’m pleased to share we see light at the end of the tunnel and plan to reopen school
classrooms in April.
Our goal has been to do this as soon as possible and in the safest way possible. There are three pieces to the puzzle which
need to be in place to get schools reopened:
The highest standard of health and safety practices at schools
• The steps already taken to implement health and safety practices at our schools exceed the most recent
guidelines set forth by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, as well as the California Department
of Public Health. Every school has a report card where the standards are made clear and inspectors make
certain they are met. You can view the report card for your school at achieve.lausd.net/readinessreportcard or
on your school’s website.
Continued reduction in the spread of COVID-19 throughout the communities we serve
• The level of the virus continues to decline. To give that a bit of context, the current positive rates in COVID
testing at schools, as well as COVID case levels in the Los Angeles area, were last seen in October.
Access to vaccinations for school staff
• The final piece of the puzzle is vaccinations for school staff. I’m pleased to see that this approach is supported
by Governor Newsom and President Biden. Both have made clear all who work in schools need to be provided
with access to the vaccine as soon as possible. While other cities in California, like Long Beach, got a head start
when local health authorities there started with vaccinations for school staff back in January, we’re working as
hard as we can to make up for lost time since vaccinations were first made available for Los Angeles Unified
staff just last week.
We are pleased to share this Return to Campus Family Guide. It has in it much of the information you’ll need to make
the decision about whether your child will return to school for the remainder of the semester or continue with online
instruction. Once you have a full understanding of the choices, we ask you to let us know whether your child will return
to the classroom or complete the semester online. Schools will need that information to finalize plans to make sure
every student gets the best possible education. You may complete the questionnaire online at reopening.lausd.net/
familyselection.
Thank you for your continued patience and support.

INSTRUCTIONAL MODELS
The two models for instruction that will be available for families to select for their students will be the Hybrid
Model and Online Only. Please keep in mind that the models described here are based on the latest health
and science information and may be subject to change.
ELEMENTARY HYBRID MODEL: AM/PM
In this model, elementary school students will be on campus 5 days a week with the same group of students
participating in in-person instruction from either 8:00 am – 11:00 am or 12:00 pm – 3:00 pm. Students will
complete coursework online and participate in independent work when not receiving direct, in-person
instruction. Classrooms will be cleaned between the AM and PM sessions. On-site supervised care and
enrichment activities will be available for students during the times when they are not receiving in-person
instruction so they will have a full schoolday available.

* Monday dismissal will be 30 minutes earlier to allow for teacher trainings
To allow for safer transitions on and off campus, students in grades 2-3 will start and end their days 15 minutes later than the posted schedule. Students in grades 4-6 will start and
end 30 minutes later than the posted schedule.
MIDDLE SCHOOL/HIGH SCHOOL HYBRID MODEL
In this model, middle school and high school students will be on campus 2-3 days a week with the same
group of students, staying in the same classroom. For example, students may be on campus either every
Tuesday/Thursday or Wednesday/Friday (with groups alternating attendance on Mondays) or according to
other school-specific schedules. While on campus, students will participate in advisory classes with their
teacher for in-person community building and social-emotional learning, and will receive online instruction
for their classes. Students will complete coursework online and participate in independent work when not
receiving direct instruction. On-site childcare and enrichment activities will be available for middle school
students during the days and times when they are not receiving direct instruction.

ONLINE-ONLY MODEL
In this model, elementary students will continue to learn online from either 8:00 am – 11:00 am or 12:00
pm – 3:00 pm, similar to their current online learning model. Students will complete coursework online and
participate in independent work when not receiving instruction online.
Middle school and high school students will continue to learn online similar to how students are currently
learning online.

10 Return to Campus Family Guide | HEALTH AND SAFETY READINESS REPORT CARDADDITIONAL RESOURCES FOR FAMILIES PARENT PORTAL The Los Angeles Unified Parent Portal is your one-stop online tool for important information about your child. Using the Parent Portal, you can view your child’s assignments and grades, attendance, test scores, and much more. It is also important to have access to the Parent Portal so that you can ensure that the school has your correct contact information. A personal identification number (PIN) is required to access your child’s information through the Parent Portal. This PIN is used to verify you are the actual parent or guardian and have rights to the student’s information. You will need to contact your child’s school to receive your PIN in order to complete your Parent Portal registration. If you have questions about the Parent Portal or need support with registration, please call the Los Angeles Unified family hotline at (213) 443-1300. 11 Return to Campus Family Guide | ADDITIONAL RESOURCES FOR FAMILIES
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Q What steps have been taken to increase safety at school facilities?
A All schools have been cleaned, top to bottom, and are well-stocked with cleaning supplies.
Air filters in the ventilation systems have been replaced with those made of the material
used to manufacture N-95 masks, and classroom surfaces are cleaned nightly with
electrostatic machines. Signs and markings have been installed at schools to promote
social distancing. We will continue to heed the recommendations of health experts on how
to reduce health risks at schools.
Q What happens if a student or school-site staff member tests positive for
COVID-19?
A Los Angeles Unified notifies the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health
if a student or staff member tests positive for COVID-19. Individuals who begin to
experience symptoms of COVID-19 or those who have been in close contact with
someone with COVID-19 are advised to self-isolate or self-quarantine for 14 days.
Q What happens if a family member tests positive for COVID-19?
A If a student reports that a family member in their home or a close contact tested
positive for COVID-19, they must quarantine at home for 14 days.
12 Return to Campus Family Guide | FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONSRETURNING TO SCHOOL
Q When will students and teachers be allowed to return to campus?
A The current plan is for early education centers and elementary schools to reopen in
mid-April. We plan to open middle school and high schools in late April. These dates
are based on the current COVID-19 levels in the Los Angeles area and may shift based
on changes to levels of the virus in coming weeks.
Q How will we be notified when students will return to school?
A Superintendent Austin Beutner will provide this information to parents via his weekly
updates, which can be viewed at 8 am on Mondays at lausd.net or KLCS-TV (check
local listings). Up-to-date information is also provided at lausd.net and via phone calls
and text messages. Your school principal will also send and post messages with this
information as soon as it becomes available.
Q What types of precautions will be taken when school facilities reopen?
A Clear health and safety protocols are being developed. These include symptom checks
and screening, modified classroom layouts, staggered start times, physical distancing
of at least 6 feet, one-way foot traffic in hallways, face masks, hygiene, disinfecting
furniture and other surfaces and upgrading air-filtration systems.
Q In a Hybrid Model, will my child mix with other groups of students?
A No. In a Hybrid Model, your child will remain with the same group of students in the
same classroom every day they are on campus. They will also stay with the same
teacher for the duration of their time on campus.
Q Will students receive the same amount of instructional time in both models?
A Yes, students will receive the same amount of instructional minutes regardless of which
model they participate in.
Q Will my child be able to switch between the Hybrid and Online Only model? How
often?
A Yes. Families will be able to switch the instructional models their students are
participating in every 2 weeks, by contacting their school.
