Mental Health theme for October, "Removing the Mask" being kind to others and to ourselves
This month we focus on the link between identity and mental health, When students are misunderstood or targeted based on their identity- including but not limited to race, gender culture- it can cause emotional harm. But when their identity is affirmed, reflected, and celebrated, they are more likely to experience positive mental health and connection. This campaign encourages courageous, supportive conversations about students' strengths, values, and lived experiences. By learning with students and creating a safe, inclusive environment, we can help them understand their role in the community, advocate for their needs, and see how they matter in the world. Building school communities where students can remove their masks celebrating themselves and one another.

Safety and Security
The District’s top priority remains the safety and security of our students and staff. As you are aware, we have experienced a nationwide and local increase of school threats that have disrupted schools, sometimes referred to as “swatting.” Swatting involves individuals making prank calls or social media posts to emergency services to provoke a large-scale response to a specific location. We know that these incidents can take a significant toll on the school community. Attached you will find communication flyers regarding School Threats to continue to ensure a safe and welcoming learning environment. See Something Say Something!
Seguridad y Protección
La principal prioridad del Distrito sigue siendo la seguridad de nuestros estudiantes y personal. Como usted sabe, hemos experimentado un aumento a nivel nacional y local de amenazas escolares que han perturbado las escuelas, a veces denominadas "aplastamiento". Swatting implica que personas hagan llamadas de broma o publicaciones en las redes sociales a los servicios de emergencia para provocar una respuesta a gran escala en un lugar específico. Sabemos que estos incidentes pueden impactar de modo significativo a la comunidad escolar. Adjunto encontrará volantes de comunicación sobre las amenazas escolares para continuar garantizando un ambiente de aprendizaje seguro y acogedor. ¡Si Ve Algo ¡Diga Algo!
Community Resources
EBT Card Program
The district recently became aware that the State is using Household Income Form eligibility information to determine eligibility for the summer EBT card program, also known as the sun-Bucks program. Qualifying families (free and reduced meals) may receive up to $120 dollars. Families can complete and submit Household Family Income Forms online at https://hif.lausd.net/ The California Department of Social Services is posting more details on their website, which you can access at https://www.cdss.ca.gov/sun-bucks.
