La Cañada Unified School District

LCUSD is reopening our schools for the 2021-2022 school year. All campuses will return to in-person instruction with their traditional 5 days per week bell schedules. LCUSD site and district administration monitor updated orders and protocols from the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health (LACDPH), which inform many areas of reopening planning. The Reopening Plan outlines the health and safety measures for this school year. As protocols adjust from LACDPH, the LCUSD Reopening Plan will return to the School Board for discussion and adjustments.

Our health and safety return to campus protocols include completing a daily health screener. You can find it in ParentSquare starting at 7pm each night and can fill it out the night before or morning of each school day.

La Canada Unified School District is pleased to announce we will offer all students a school lunch at no charge in the coming 2021-22 school year. All students enrolled in the district are eligible to receive a healthy lunch at no charge. No further action is necessary.

La Cañada Unified School District will offer Independent Study for TK-12 grade students whose health would be put at risk by in-person learning. To participate in the Independent Study program, TK-12 grade students must be able to complete their school work at home independently and have a parent/guardian/caregiver who is able to assist in accessing learning. Content for the program will be provided by LCUSD and will be aligned to California standards. Students enrolled in Independent Study for the 2021-22 school year will have the option of returning to in-person learning during the school year.

Each year, districts across California complete an action plan related to goals and services that link with the budget. A committee made up of parents, staff, and students meet multiple times as well as engage in extensive outreach to connected groups across the district.
