COVID-19 Action Plan: Update 8-7-20

"STARTING THE SCHOOL YEAR SMART"

We are proud and excited to outline Junipero Serra High Schools three phases to return to on campus student learning for the 2020-2021 school year. Following the guidance and leadership from the Archdiocese of Los Angeles, California Department of Education, Los Angeles County Public Health officials, and our Re-Open Serra Committee. Junipero Serra High School Phase I will begin with our Distance Learning Program on August 17th, 2020. Dependent on county data and guidelines, Junipero Serra High School may have to transition in and out of these three phases.

When we are able to open our doors for on campus learning, we will transition to our Phase II Hybrid Program. In this hybrid approach, there will be two cohorts – Cohort A and Cohort B. Each cohort will meet in class twice a week Tuesday through Friday (block schedule). Monday will be distance learning for all students. Families have the option to continue distance learning in place of attending the hybrid cohort schedule. Phase III, our goal and hope, is to have our campus open to all students and back to our regular model of student learning.

Junipero Serra High School will lower the risk for viral contagion from COVID-19 while continuing our excellence in the development of our students academically, emotionally, socially and spiritually. We recognize that we cannot make that risk zero yet will make every effort to pursue prudent measures on campus to minimize the spread of COVID-19 and other diseases.

Phase I - Distance Learning
Phase II - Hybrid Cohort Learning
Phase III - On campus instruction for all students
