Covid-19 Testing for All Students
Los Angeles Unified School District is offering free COVID-19 tests to all students. Click HERE for flyer. The virus testing program is now underway and it’s time for our school to be tested. We are asking parents to make an appointment for an initial test now to help us prepare for the opening of school for in-person instruction. Although the date when schools will re-open for in-person instruction is not yet known, taking an initial test now will provide valuable information about the incidence of COVID-19 in the communities we serve. This information will help the scientists, researchers and epidemiologists who are assisting with the program. The baseline testing will help reduce the spread of the disease by identifying those with the virus so they can be kept apart from others. Immediately prior to reopening of schools, all students and staff who will be returning to schools, will be provided with a further, back-to-school, baseline test.
Please schedule an appointment for your child at https://achieve.lausd.net/covidtestingappt
You will need your child’s student ID number to schedule an appointment. You may obtain your child’s student ID number by accessing the Parent Portal at https://parentportalapp.lausd.net/parentaccess/ or by calling our LAUSD hotline at 213-443-1300. Once you’ve made the appointment, you will receive a confirmation email with details. Please be prepared to show the email on your phone or print out the confirmation and bring it with you to the appointment.

BUY STUDENT BIRTHDAY GREETINGS ON OUR VIDEO MESSAGE BOARD
Students love to see their name on the Kenter Canyon video message board! But the one special day that kids love seeing their name in lights is honoring their birthday. Surprise your child by purchasing a greeting for his or her birthday. HAPPY BIRTHDAY ________!!!
The message appears for one full week for only $100; however, we are offering it for half price in October 2020 for only $50. You can schedule the greeting for any week during the year, but if you pay for it during the month of October 2020, it will only be $50.
Traditionally, the half-price sale is part of the PSG Coyote Connection Online Auction which was scheduled last March when schools closed.
While we realize that this may not be as exciting right now while the kids are not physically in school, the marquee runs all year! It is still exciting to drive by and see their names in lights even with school not open. It would make a cute picture as well!
As with all events PSG, this is a fundraiser and every contribution this year will save the jobs of our enrichment teachers, aides and support staff.
