New Roads' Re-Entry Task Force is closely monitoring the COVID-19 pandemic in the Los Angeles area. Currently our campus is closed to in-person instruction and remote learning is in session for all grade levels. New Roads will continue to provide instruction using the remote platform until it is deemed responsible to return to in-person instruction.
In an effort to keep our community as safe as possible, it is imperative that parents, faculty, and staff contact the re-entry Pandemic Coordinator, Brae Casillas, immediately if you or someone in your household:

- Is waiting for a COVID-19 viral test result
- May have been exposed to someone with COVID-19 in the last 14 days
