CORONAVIRUS UPDATE
As of March 11th, 2020 LAUSD has suspended all social gatherings.
We all received word from LAUSD’s Superintendent Austin Buetner that all schools must cancel/postpone all social gatherings until further notice due to the coronavirus. Unfortunately that means as of now the following are cancelled until further notice:
Dolphin Café
Open House
FoSA Meetings
Food Trucks
Evening Walk’n’Talk
Family Mosaic Day
Coffee W/Karen
Silent Auction
These are all the events leading up to Spring Break. We will continue to keep all parents informed as we receive instruction from LAUSD.
