Power has been restored to our La Crescenta area schools. Unfortunately, a huge fallen tree has severed the main water line and disrupted the water system at Rosemont Middle School. Rosemont will not be able to reopen until the water line has been repaired.

All GUSD schools, except Rosemont Middle School, will reopen on Monday, January 13.

Students at Rosemont Middle School will participate in distance learning until water is restored to the campus - hopefully by the end of the week.

Thank you to our amazing GUSD maintenance, operations, grounds, planning, and nutrition services staff who are working diligently this weekend to clear debris, repair damage, and prepare our schools to reopen on Monday.

Additional Information for Monday

• Outdoor activities will be canceled or moved indoors due to poor air quality.
• All athletic events and outdoor extracurricular activities are canceled on Monday. Schools will share additional information about specific schedule updates.
• GUSD Nutrition Services will provide meals on their regular schedule. However, we may need to make last-minute menu substitutions.
• To preserve the air quality in our facilities, HVAC units have been turned off and will remain off while air filtration systems are being restored. We recommend bringing an extra sweater next week as classrooms may be slightly chilly.
• As air quality in our area continues to be a concern, we strongly encourage students and employees to wear masks next week. Schools have adult KN or N95 masks and child surgical masks available for those who need them.
