Dear Gardner Street School Parents and Guardians,

To date, I have shared that students need to have a COVID-19 baseline test only. Friday evening I received clarification from our district operations coordinator. In addition to the baseline test that must be scheduled within 7 days of a student’s return to school, your student must be tested weekly. A mobile COVID-19 testing van, staffed by district health professionals, will come to Gardner weekly to administer the COVID-19 test to students and staff. Details regarding the date(s) and time(s) for the mobile testing van are forthcoming.

If you have questions about this process please refer to the FAQ link below. You may also call the LAUSD Parent Help Desk at (213) 443-1300.

If this update prompts you to keep your student in remote learning, please call the school office at (323) 876-4710 and send your teacher a message via Class Tag.

Phone calls were made to all Gardner families last week to inform you of your child’s hybrid class assignment. If you did not receive this information, please contact the school office as soon as possible. You may also reach out to your child’s teacher.

Please continue to check Class Tag, your email, our website and voicemail daily for information from the District and the school.

Most respectfully,
Karen Hollis, Principal
