Reopening Overview and Phases
Everest remains committed to providing all students with a free and appropriate public education during the 2020-21 school year informed by all Federal, State and local guidance. Whether through a fully home-based, virtual program, or a “hybrid” program offering students limited opportunities to rejoin us on campus, Everest promises to support students as they reach their fullest potential.
During these uncertain times, the school will need to be flexible. Based on the risks developing in LA County and our ability to meet guidelines for safely reopening, our plan will unfold in four phases:Reopening | Phase 1 | Phase 2 | Phase 3 | Phase 4 |

Academic Plan |
Distance Learning with required instructional minutes: Kinder: 180 min per day
1st -3rd: 230 min per day
4th -8th: 240 min per day

Parent Choice between Distance Learning or Hybrid (2 days/week on campus) |
All students would be encouraged back to campus with no gatherings over a specific number and a continuation of masks and sanitation |

The school may move between these phases based on the changes in positive cases in the community and at the school. Everest will need its staff, student and family communities to stay updated with messaging on Parent Square and Class Dojo. These updates will include specifics on classroom schedules, assignments and other programs.
