SCHOOL CLOSURE / REMOTE LEARNING
BREAKING NEWS: Topanga Elementary Charter School campus will be closed beginning Monday, May 17 due to air quality and safety concerns caused by the #PalisadesFire. Instruction will transition to full remote learning until further notice. Child supervision will not be available while the school campus is closed. Los Angeles Unified will continue to work closely with our public safety partners to ensure the safety and well-being of all students, families, and employees.
A Message From the Principal: Return to Campus Coming Soon!
LAUSD closed in-person instruction on March 13, 2020; literally, one year later, I am so grateful to be able to say "We Are Reopening in April!" There will be much more information coming out over the next week regarding the details of returning to school for students in April.
Join me on Monday, March 15th @ 6 pm for a town hall zoom update.

Safe Steps to Safe Schools
Return to Campus - Program Selection Form: https://reopening.lausd.net/en/SpringRC
The purpose of this questionnaire is to let Los Angeles Unified know how your child will participate in instruction when schools reopen. All families will need to complete this Program Selection Form by March 19th so that we can adequately prepare to provide an instructional program that meets your child’s needs.
I suggest that you wait until next Thursday or Friday as more information will be forthcoming, which will help you in the decision-making process.
Please note that if no response is received for your child, your child's default will be to continue learning online.
You will also have the option to change how your child will participate in instruction every two weeks after schools reopen by contacting your school.
For more information, including on the health practices and protocols in place at our schools, please review the Return to Campus Family Guide at https://reopening.lausd.net/familyguide
Any in-person instruction model will require students to be tested for COVID-19 before returning to campus and weekly thereafter. Schools will have strict health protocols in place, including physical distancing, face masks, and daily health and temperature checks for all students and staff.
