  SCHOOL CLOSURE JAN 9 &10, 2025  
BreakingNews
 
All Los Angeles Unified schools and offices will be closed on THU & FRI, JAN 9 &10.
 
The confluence of factors – wind, fire, and smoke – have created unpredictable, complex situations that present potentially unsafe conditions for our school communities. Select essential personnel will be contacted by their supervisors regarding potential work duties.
 
As the Los Angeles region continues responding to this unprecedented crisis, the health and safety of our students and employees are of the utmost importance. As part of the District’s Continuity of Learning efforts, students will continue to have digital access to academic resources. More information is available at https://www.lausd.org/learningcontinues.

Beckford's Annual BELL Fund Drive is here! The BELL Fund is a "direct ask" donation program run by the Beckford PTA: families are asked to donate a certain amount per student, and 100% of the proceeds go toward direct funding of critical school needs.
