Week 14 News
April 18, 2021
Hello APB Families,
There have been many positive developments at Animo Pat Brown this spring. I am happy to share information about a few things going on at APB:
Free vaccine clinic at APB:
In partnership with St. John's, APB is hosting a COVID vaccine (Pfizer) clinic for the Florence Firestone community on April 28. Anyone 16+ can register here: https://www.caprepmod.org/reg/7012449169
April 28 is an asynchronous day for students, so it is the perfect day for students 16 and up to make an appointment to protect themselves, their families, and their community.
We will host another vaccine clinic on May 19 so that everyone who receives the vaccine on April 28 can get their second dose at APB as well. We will share that registration link later this month.
Return to on-campus learning:
Ninth grade teachers and students will be returning to school for on-campus learning on Thursday, April 29. Students will be able to attend classes in person with their teachers and peers 4 days a week. We are thrilled to welcome students and teachers back to school now that it is safe to do so.
Ninth grade parents have the choice to have their students attend classes in person or remain in distance learning through the rest of the year. If you are the parent of a ninth grade student and you would like your student to attend in person classes, but you haven't notified the school yet, please do so by Monday.
9th grade class sizes will be limited to 14 students. All students and staff will be following careful safety and cleaning protocols to protect the health of everyone. As part of our safety protocols, all staff and students will participate in weekly COVID testing at APB. These weekly tests are free and conducted at the school.
Free weekly COVID testing clinic
APB hosts a free weekly COVID testing clinic on Thursdays from 9:15 am - 11:15 am. Any ninth grader who is returning to on campus learning must register for the test by this Wednesday. Parents will need to upload pictures of their ID and their child's insurance card when registering. Please call the school at 323-585-3312.

Class of 2021 graduation ceremony
As I have shared before, APB has been given permission to plan an outdoor, in-person graduation ceremony for our seniors. APB's Class of 2021 Graduation ceremony will take place on APB's field on Wednesday, June 9 at 5 pm. Students will be able to "walk the stage" in front of their family and friends. Attendance will be limited in accordance with public health rules. More details about the graduation ceremony will be shared in the weeks to come.
If you have any questions about any of these announcements, feel free to call the school at 323-585-3312 or email me at brian.thomas-reed@animo.org.
I look forward to continuing to work with each of you as we ensure all APB students graduate prepared for college, leadership, and life.
