Dear Topanga Families,
Topanga Elementary Charter School is STILL expected to remain closed until roadways around the school are re-opened and the school is no longer within an evacuation zone. The school will re-open once officials have evaluated the campus and surrounding areas and deemed them safe for students and employees to return.
Please check lausd.net and @LASchools on Twitter for updates. I will be sending a special edition of the Friday Focus out tomorrow with any additional updates. Please continue to take care of each other during this very difficult time.
Thank you,
Mr. Gediman
