Principal's Message
Monday, November 16, 2020

Dear Eagle Rock Families,

I hope this finds you well, and I wish you a wonderful week ahead as you head into virtual parent teacher conferences.  We are all feeling stress under remote learning for different reasons; please take this time to reflect on your child’s accomplishments and collaboratively set goals that will feel motivational.  We must stay focused on the things that we CAN control and work together on the changes we wish to see.

A quick reminder, please communicate with your teacher if you are unable to keep your Zoom conference or if you are running late.  Conferences are often scheduled back to back and small changes can have a domino affect on others.  We truly appreciate your help in minimizing this disruption.

COVID Testing for Students
COVID Testing for Students (in English and Spanish) is offered by the District.  This is not yet mandatory, but is highly encouraged as the District attempts to establish baseline data.  Please see the flyer below for information.

Black Students Matter Town Hall
Monday, Nov 16th at 5:00PM Town Hall Meeting for Black Students Matter. The theme is “Stand Up With Us”.  This Zoom Webinar is open to staff, families, and interested community members.  We hope you will share this and join the LDC team.  Zoom Webinar ID: 873 9392 0013

COSA Town Hall Webinar
Thursday, Nov 19th at 6:00PM Town Hall Meeting hosted by our COSA, Titus Campos.  This will be an informative webinar sharing the District’s plan for a safe return to schools.  Information will be shared about the hybrid model and the remote learning model. Including information about the required form that each family must submit by December 6th selecting one model for each child enrolled in LAUSD.  Please join this very important meeting. Zoom Webinar ID: 9644 8252 998

We are all painfully aware that COVID-19 cases have spiked, and experts anticipate that cases may continue to increase during this holiday season.  Due to this, we do not know exactly when schools will open, but we are still moving forward with the careful and complex planning to make it a safe return once the numbers allow it.  Please continue to take good care of yourselves and your families, and practice social distancing and model the importance of proper mask wearing with your children.  This will all be a key part of the return to schools. 

I thank each of you for your sacrifices during this very challenging time.  We all ride a roller coaster of emotions through this unknown season, but I find great comfort and strength from the spirit of our community.  The words Respect, Optimism, Collaboration, Kindness, and Spirit have taken on a whole new meaning.  Thank you students, staff and community for surfacing and selecting these very words that carry us through this very unsettling 2020.  Thank you Eagle Rock for being my rock.

Information Regarding Free COVID-19 Testing

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
