On March 9, the Glendale Unified Board of Education gave direction to move forward with a phased return of elementary students for on-campus instruction in late March.
- Elementary teachers will return to campuses on Tuesday, March 23
- Students in grades TK-2 will resume in-person learning on Monday, March 29
- Elementary students in grades 3-6 will resume in-person learning on Monday, April 5
The District will continue to offer a full-time distance learning option for the remainder of the school year for all families who choose to continue distance learning.
Hybrid Schedule
In order to maintain proper physical distancing, Glendale Unified elementary schools will operate on a hybrid schedule. Students returning for in-person learning will alternate between on-campus and distance learning in stable groups.
Elementary school administrators will reach out to families in the coming days with additional details and schedules for each specific school.
Child Care
Child care in the District’s Technology Learning Pods will continue to be available on days when students are distance learning. The more than 1,000 students who have been enrolled in Technology Learning Pods since the beginning of the 2020-21 school year will have priority for child care.
Middle and High School
Secondary schools are eligible to reopen when Los Angeles County has moved into the Red Tier for COVID-19 transmission. Glendale Unified has not finalized a return date for middle and high school.
In the meantime, Middle and high schools are planning on-campus expanded learning opportunities for students this spring. View an expanded learning presentation from our Glendale Unified middle school principals.
