SCHOOL CLOSURE

JAN 9 &10, 2025


	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.
