Principal's Message
Dear IC STEM Families,
Returning back to campus has been an exciting opportunity for all of us. We are happy to see our students and families and look forward to more students returning after break. Please pay $50 covid fee to register by tomorrow if you intend to return in our next phase.
As we approach Easter break it is extremely important that all our families recognize the risk involved with travel and cooperate with all protocols so we can continue safely on campus after break. Please see below for a message from Public Health.
The full travel advisory is here:
http://www.publichealth.lacounty.gov/media/Coronavirus/traveladvisory.htm
We would like to announce that we are returning to full days beginning Wednesday, April 21st. We will not offer morning or after school care at this time.
Our new schedule will be as follows:
7:50 - 8:05 arrival for grades 3 - 8; 3rd-5th grades will arrive at the front gate and 6th - 8th grades will use the Shamrock entrance.
Dismissal for these grades will be from 3:00 - 3:15pm
8:05 - 8:20 arrival for TK - 2nd grades; TK and K will arrive at the gate in front of the basketball courts and 1st & 2nd will use the front gate.
Dismissal for these grades will be from 2:45 - 3:00pm.
Our distance learners in grades TK - 2nd grade will log on at 8:45am and log off at 2pm. Our distance learners in grades 3 - 8 will log on at 8:30am and log off at 2pm.
Please remember that students are expected to wear a uniform top (PE and Grizzly Challenge T-shirts are acceptable) and navy blue pants or shorts.

Travel Advisory
I wanted to share with you the following message I received from LA County:
"With Spring Break upon us, LA County's Department of Public Health encourages everyone to remain close to home and adhere to the State travel advisory which recommends no recreational travel outside a 120-mile radius.
Recreational travelers and residents coming to LA County are required to self-quarantine for 10 days after returning from out-of-state or out-of-country travel.
It is recommended that resident travelers who are exposed to crowds and/or unmasked individuals in close proximity get tested upon their return. There is a heightened risk if traveling to places with high rates of community transmission."
For all of our safety please adhere to the advisory and if necessary quarantine. Depending on the day of your family's return, this may mean your students need to zoom into classes the week of April 12. Some of our students have already shared travel plans with their teachers so we expect everyone to act in good faith and transparency.

Prayer Corner
Lord God,
You loved this world so much,
That you gave your one and only Son,
That we might be called your children too.
Lord, help us to live in the gladness and grace
Of Easter Sunday, everyday.
Let us have hearts of thankfulness
For your sacrifice.
Let us have eyes that look upon
Your grace and rejoice in our salvation.
Help us to walk in that mighty grace
And tell your good news to the world.
All for your glory do we pray, Lord,
Amen.
