Signing Up
The Los Angeles Unified School District begins classes Sept. 8 for students enrolled at 142 schools and centers in the Valley using the district’s traditional calendar, which runs September to June. Preregistration began Friday for those students. Parents should contact their local schools for more information.
Bus Routes
Information packets detailing school pickup and drop-off times will be mailed beginning next Monday. Those who do not receive a packet by Aug. 28 should call the district’s transportation branch customer service unit at 1-800-LABUSES.
Immunizations
New students must have updated health and immunization records before attending classes, according to LAUSD and Los Angeles County Health Department regulations. For further information, contact your local school or School Nursing Services at (818) 997-2625.
Dressing Up
Operation School Bell provides all needy LAUSD students with free clothing or school uniforms. “We give clothes to children so that they can get an education and [obtain] the self-esteem to stay in school,” said Marlene Hopp, who has volunteered with the Hollywood-based group for 20 years. All appointments must be made through school officials.
