Greetings Husky Families,
It has been another eventful week! Faculty were on campus Tuesday to practice the technology and logistics needed to offer remote AND in-person learning at the same time for the next seven weeks. It was a meaningful return and continued thanks to the Parents’ Association for the wonderful gift bags that awaited each faculty and staff member.
On Thursday morning we had a follow-up to last week’s Student Town Hall, and I want to applaud the quality and thoughtfulness of the students who put forth questions they had. They covered everything from what lunch will look like to transportation to senior events. It was affirming to hear the careful thought that students are putting into their safety and wellness, and we are glad to have had answers ready for them!
Just to clarify a few more issues as we move towards next week:
- If you live outside of Palos Verdes and completed the transportation survey, your student is automatically signed up for the bus service.
- There will be no food service providers on campus and parents are not allowed to drop off lunches. This includes food delivery services such as UberEats, Doordash, Postmates, etc. The vending machines are full, however!
- If you have issues with SchoolPass that can’t be solved with an “I forgot my Password” answer, please contact Steve Hagee at 424-477-9279.
We are enthused to have over 75% of our students returning to in-person learning when the area schools are averaging closer to 25%. Your confidence is a testament to the hard work done to minimize their risk, which will certainly be evident in the weeks ahead.
Sincere thanks for your continued support,
David
Head of Schools

"It wasn’t easy, and at times it felt insurmountable, but I’ve survived. I’ve now been out to those close to me for almost two years now, and for all the pain, hardships, and weariness being trans has brought me, I wouldn’t take it back for the world."

"I’ve been lucky to be involved in diversity conferences and workshops that have helped me explore my identity. It feels amazing to be able to talk openly with other people who have the same questions as I do. It’s such an important way for me to connect to other people."
