Dear Fairfax CommUNITY of Schools Families,

Paul Hirsch, Fairfax Community of Schools Administrator
This innovative tool was developed in partnership with Microsoft to bring our students back into the classrooms with the following easy steps:
- Students, parents and visitors will access the Daily Pass on any computer, tablet or mobile device at dailypass.lausd.net.
- Answer the daily health check questions (not more than a two-minute process!)
- If the individual has recently tested negative for COVID-19 and completes the online health check, a QR code will be generated for that day and specific site location
- School staff members dedicated to be “Welcomers” will be at every site to scan the QR code and take your temperature at the entrance.

School Spotlight: LACES
The Los Angeles Center for Enriched Studies (LACES) was founded in September 1977 as the first magnet school in the Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD). In 1991 the school took in the last fourth grade class, deciding that the span of the school would now be grades 6 through 12, in keeping with the middle school/high school format. We have a history of excellence in preparing our students to be successful beyond our walls. Although we are both a college and career preparatory institution, we pride ourselves in the rigorous programs we provide that make our students competitive for college acceptances. In these past months of Distance Learning, the LACES community has continued pursuing excellence in this new virtual world. https://www.lacesmagnetschool.org/
