Torrance Schools Open For Grades 3-5 Blended Learning March 4

The Los Angeles County Department of Public Health (DPH) is allowing schools to bring more students back to campus. Torrance Unified School District announced the return Blended Learning students in grades 3-5 after learning Feb. 16 that L.A. County’s COVID-19 daily case rate dropped below 25 per every 100,000 people. This will enable the return of 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade Blended Learning students for in-person instruction.

During the Feb 17, Board of Education meeting, the board provided direction to bring back Blended Learning students in grades 3-5 March 4. This date was selected to give parents, teachers, and staff time to plan for the safe return to campus. Torrance Unified School District is working next to develop a safe, feasible on-campus opportunity for 6th grade that allows for physical distancing and other enhanced safety measures.

The DPH has also allowed some high school sports competitions to begin (no spectators will be allowed).
