Mountain Avenue Thursday Update
2/3/2022
Arrival to School and Traffic Safety
- We've had an uptick in students arriving to school late (after the 8:20) bell.
- The gates open at 7:45 daily and we have staff ready to supervise students.
- Please build in a few extra minutes in your morning to have your child arrive before the bell rings. A good target arrival time is 8:15 so your child has time to walk to their class.
Traffic Lane and Traffic Safety
- Students should only enter and exit cars in the "Green cone" area. Please do not let your children out of the car in a non-green zone.
- The traffic lane is designed to continuously move. Do not park your car - exit your vehicle - or leave your car in the traffic lane.
- Additionally, the parking lot is a restricted area and should not be used for picking up or dropping off of students.

At Home Covid Test Distribution
At-Home COVID-19 Test Kits!
Glendale Unified has purchased 90,000 at-home rapid COVID-19 test kits to ensure our community stays healthy over the spring holidays!
Every GUSD student and employee will receive a rapid test kit prior to the Lincoln Day holiday weekend (February 12-14), President's Day holiday weekend (February 19-21), and Spring Break (March 14-18). Test kits will be distributed in your child's Thursday Folder.
We strongly encourage every student and employee to take a rapid test before returning to school following each holiday. If your student tests positive on the home test, stay home from school and contact your school office.
Thank you for helping us protect the health and safety of our Glendale Unified community!
