PVPUSD Announces Planned Return to School Dates

With the recent decline in COVID positive rates, the Los Angeles Department of Public Health or DPH has allowed for all grades K-6 to return to school while in the Purple Tier, with COVID-19 case rates less than 25 per 100K.  

On Feb.19, Palos Verdes Peninsula Unified School District provided an update on the return to school timeline for K-12 hybrid programs for elementary, middle, and high schools. Grades 3 to 6 will be phased in through March 15, and hybrid grade 6 students will have the opportunity to come to school for a portion of the week beginning March 15. Grades 7-12 are targeted to return April 12, provided that L.A. County enters the Red Tier in the state’s Blueprint for a Safer Economy by then.

The DPH has also indicated that this decline in COVID-19 positivity rates, if ongoing, could lead to the county’s entry into the less restrictive Red Tier very soon (COVID-19 case rates less than 7 cases per 100K).
