“In-person learning: We are still planning for a full return of students to school in the Fall; we do not expect that the LACDPH will implement capacity limits again.

Masks and Distancing: LACDPH protocols state that everyone is required to wear masks indoors, whether vaccinated or not. Masking outdoors is optional. There are no physical distancing requirements indoors or outdoors, but that practice is still recommended where possible.

Cleaning and Sanitizing: We are continuing our cleaning/disinfecting/HVAC filter replacement procedures from last year.

Meals: School meals will be served in the cafeteria. Meals will be eaten outside when possible. Indoor seating will be discouraged.

COVID Testing and Vaccinations: We will continue to provide COVID testing whenever needed or appropriate – details will be forthcoming. Though we are no longer offering vaccines, anyone still needing a vaccine can check for locations at this site: https://covid19.lacounty.gov/testing/

Exposure Management: We are following the relevant LACDPH protocol which addresses how we respond to positive cases and/or close contacts. The current version of that plan from LACDPH is linked from the “COVID Communications” section of our website: https://www.ccusd.org/apps/pages/COVID-Updates

Updates/Changes: We will continue to update COVID case information on our website Dashboard: COVID-19 Dashboard (ccusd.org)

While going through all the usual preparations for returning to school, everyone is encourage to keep checking in and follow all LA County recommendations for a safe and stress-free transition back to campus.
