COVID & Return to Campus
REOPENING OVERVIEW
In preparing for re-opening, protecting the health and safety of all students and SMPS employees is our guiding principle. In order to keep our campus safe for students and staff, we will closely adhere to CDC, CDPH, and LACDPH health and safety guidelines for Early Childhood and K-8. All components of this outlined plan are subject to change based on updated guidelines.

These droplets can land in the mouths or noses of people who are nearby or possibly be inhaled into the lungs. Spread is more likely when people are in close contact with one another (6 feet). COVID-19 symptoms can range from mild or no symptoms to severe illness.
