New Roads Re-entry

Putting the wellbeing and health of ourselves and community first by modeling compassion and responsible choices
New Roads' Re-Entry Task Force is closely monitoring the COVID-19 pandemic in the Los Angeles area. Our campus is now open for in-person instruction for all grade levels.

In an effort to keep our community as safe as possible, it is imperative that parents, faculty, and staff contact the COVID-19 Task Force Chairs, Brae Casillas or Ryan Hawley, immediately if you or someone in your household:

  • Has been diagnosed with COVID-19
  • Is waiting for a COVID-19 viral test result
  • May have been exposed to someone with COVID-19 in the last 10 days
In addition, we encourage our community to continue to follow the guidance of health organizations such as the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health (LACDPH), which include:

  • Staying home when sick 
  • Wearing a mask that covers your nose and mouth
  • Avoiding touching your eyes, nose, and mouth 
  • Covering sneezes and coughs with a tissue or a sleeve
  • Regular hand washing with soap and water for at least 20 seconds or sanitizing when soap and water are not available
This webpage centralizes New Roads' COVID-19 re-entry response and provides resources for our community. New Roads' will follow and implement the guidance set forth by the State of California and the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health, and will update this page as necessary.
