A teacher talks with a student at Covington School last fall. The Los Altos School District reopened campuses and resumed in-person classes today (Jan. 11), despite the teachers’ union asking the district to stay remote. In the fall, LASD had resumed part-time, in-person classes for students in fifth grade and below. That reopening was paused in December, when the district reverted to being fully remote, due to a high number of staff absences. Students and staff complete a COVID-19 symptom tracker every day, and are required to stay home if they report any possible symptoms. The district reopened campuses Monday for students in fifth grade and below, as scheduled. Sixth- through eighth-graders are slated to return Jan. 20.
