Learning From Home during Corona Virus (COVID-19)
Español
Dear Parents,
We have been directed by the California Department of Education (CDE) and the Los Angeles County Office of Education (LACOE) to extend the school closure until May 1st.
We want everyone to know that Pacoima Charter School staff is working hard to support student learning at home. We will also continue to provide meals for our students until school resumes. Laptops, books and learning packets will be ready for distribution this Thursday and Friday. Please refer to the schedule you received via parent square this morning.
Thank your understanding and cooperation as we navigate these difficult times together.
Meal Plan
Throughout the duration of the closure, our Food Service Department will still be serving breakfast and lunch to all of our students. Beginning March 17th, lunch and breakfast will be served together by Grab and Go style for students to pick up each weekday from 11:00 am to 1:00 pm at the following school location:
- Pacoima Charter School - Auditorium 11:00 a.m. - 1:00 p.m. (Doors to Auditorium on Herrick St.)
Please note that your child, will only need to pick up once a day since breakfast and lunch will be conveniently packed together.
