Dear Eagle Rock Families,

I hope you all enjoyed your weekend. Hooray for cooler temperatures this week.

The Read-a-Thon is not cancelled, but it is postponed.  We reflected on all that is being pushed out right now and it felt like it might be just too much.  Look for a return to Read-a-Thon fun for Thanksgiving Week.

More Than a Meal
I called many, many families last week trying to connect and see how I could help families that might’ve forgotten to turn in their applications.  Our teachers and Room Parents are doing the same.  We are desperate!  Please understand we need EVERY SINGLE FAMILY to turn this in.  It doesn’t matter that we are not at school, without the meal application filled out our school is going to lose a LOT of funding for ALL our students and our school will be forever changed.  If anyone is uncertain as to which income is reported and which is not (overtime, for example, is not reported), please call the school for help. Please turn in or fill out your form online by this Wednesday, Oct 21, 2020.  A special shout-out to Ms. Muscarolas’s class – they got 100% of their applications turned in.

Choices Update
The Unified Enrollment window is now open. The application deadline has been extended to November 20th.  If you are interested in applying to any magnet, dual language or SAS programs, be sure to visit goto.lausd.net.  Students culminating from Eagle Rock Elementary Magnets must apply to other magnet programs for middle school if they wish to attend. There is no automatic transfer.

Hybrid Teaching Model
I have received some preliminary information about efforts to transition to a hybrid teaching model.  There are still MANY unanswered questions, but I will prepare a community meeting to share what I know in the coming week.  I’m hoping to receive answers to at least a few points before meeting with you.  On your end, we continue to encourage families to sign up for District COVID-19 testing for students. This will help develop baseline data and make support plans.  Additionally, a survey is being developed to identify which families are interested in using a hybrid model and which families will opt for full-time distance learning.  Please stay tuned for that survey. Schedule an appointment HERE. See the note below for detailed info.

Thank you. I wish you a safe a peaceful week ahead.

Dear Eagle Rock Community,

As Superintendent Austin Beutner explained in his October 5, 2020 Letter to the School Community, LAUSD is offering free COVID-19 tests to all students.

The virus testing program is now underway and it’s time for our school to be tested.

​We are asking parents to make an appointment for an initial test now to help us prepare for the opening of school for in-person instruction.  Although the date when schools will re-open for in-person instruction is not yet known, taking an initial test now will provide valuable information about the incidence of COVID-19 in the communities we serve.  This information will help the scientists, researchers and epidemiologists who are assisting with the program. The baseline testing will help reduce the spread of the disease by identifying those with the virus so they can be kept apart from others.

Immediately prior to the reopening of schools, all students and staff who will be returning to schools, will be provided with a further, back-to-school, baseline test.

Please schedule an appointment beginning on October 9th for your child at https://achieve.lausd.net/covidtestingappt.

​You will need your child’s student ID number to schedule an appointment.  You may obtain your child’s student ID number by accessing the Parent Portal
at https://parentportalapp.lausd.net/parentaccess/ or by calling our LAUSD hotline at 213-443-1300.  Once you’ve made the appointment, you will receive a confirmation email with details. 

Please be prepared to show the email on your phone or print out the confirmation and bring it with you to the appointment.

Thank you for  your participation on this important program.
Sincerely,
Stephanie Leach,
Prinicipal

Estimados padres y tutores,
Como explico el Superintendente Austin Beutner en su Carta a la Comunidad Escolar del 5 de octubre de 2020, el Distrito Escolar Unificado de Los Ángeles está ofreciendo pruebas de COVID-19 gratis a todos los estudiantes.

El programa de pruebas del virus está ahora en marcha y es hora de que se hagan las pruebas en nuestra escuela.

Les estamos pidiendo a los padres que hagan una cita para una prueba inicial ahora para que nos ayuden a prepararnos para la apertura de la escuela para la instrucción en persona. 

Aunque todavía no se conoce la fecha en que las escuelas volverán a abrir para la instrucción en persona, hacerse una prueba inicial ahora proporcionará información valiosa sobre la incidencia de COVID-19 en las comunidades a las que servimos.  Esta información ayudará a los científicos, investigadores y epidemiólogos que están ayudando con el programa. Las pruebas iniciales ayudarán a reducir la propagación de la enfermedad al identificar a los que tienen el virus, para que puedan mantenerse separados de los demás.

Inmediatamente antes de reabrir las escuelas, todos los estudiantes y el personal que regresarán a las escuelas recibirán una prueba de referencia adicional, para el regreso a la escuela.
Por favor haga una cita para su hijo a partir del 9 de octubre en https://achieve.lausd.net/covidtestingappt.

Necesitará el número de identificación de estudiante de su hijo para hacer una cita.  Usted puede obtener el número de identificación de estudiante de su hijo accediendo al Portal para Padres en https://parentportalapp.lausd.net/parentaccess/ o llamando a nuestra línea directa de LAUSD al 213-443-1300.  Una vez que haya hecho la cita, recibirá un correo electrónico de confirmación con los detalles.  Por favor, esté preparado para mostrar el correo electrónico en su teléfono o imprima la confirmación y tráigala a la cita.

Gracias por su participación en este importante programa.
Stephanie Leach,
Directora
