Egremont Schools, Inc. is a nonprofit, coeducational, independent Preschool-Grade 5 day school serving approximately 100 students on one site in Chatsworth, California. Egremont was founded in 1936 in Costa Mesa, California. Since its inception, Egremont Schools, Inc. has always been guided by a mission to provide high-level academics, a commitment to character education, and a belief in a broad offering of programs.

​
Over the years, the academic programs in Preschool-Grade 5 have reached unparalleled heights, driven by the twin beliefs that students seek that place where they are "challenged but not stressed," and that students are capable of extraordinary academic achievement. Three ingredients combine to help create this academic achievement: a strong academic curriculum; dynamic teachers who are skilled in their disciplines and who instill a love of learning; and a talented and diligent student body that spurs itself towards continual intellectual growth.

Covid-19 Parent Checklist

Going back to school this year will require schools and families to work together even more than before. Egremont will be making changes to their policies and operations with the goal of supporting learning while trying to limit the chance of exposure to the COVID-19 virus.
Teachers and staff will teach and encourage preventive behaviors at school. Likewise, it will be important for families to emphasize and model healthy behaviors at home. Remember that the situations that you and your family expose yourselves to can have repercussions by bringing a COVID-19 exposure to your child’s classroom. Please be sure that your family adheres to the protocols as set forth by the CDC and the PDH as these are critical measures to ensure the safety of our Egremont Community. The CDC requests everyone to keep a social distance of at least 6 feet and to wear a mask when out in public or in social gatherings and to wash one’s hands often. For more information, http://CDC.gov or http://publichealth.lacounty.gov.
Even if your child attends school in-person, it is important to be prepared for the possibility of going back to virtual learning if his/her class or the school closes because of a COVID-19 exposure. If your child becomes exposed to COVID-19, he or she will need to stay home. Please, talk to your children about the changes to expect this school year.

The CDC has created a checklist to help with back to school planning for the 2020-2021 school year.

Planning for In-Person Classes Actions to take and points to consider:

Before school COVID-19 symptom check:
  • Check in with your child each morning for signs of illness. If your child has a temperature of 100.0 degrees or higher, they cannot go to school.
  • Make sure your child does not have a sore throat or other signs of illness, like a cough, diarrhea, severe headache, vomiting, body aches, fatigue, new loss of taste or smell, congestion, or runny nose.
  • If your child has had close contact to a COVID-19 case, they cannot go to school. Follow Isolation or Quarantine Protocols on what to do when someone has a known exposure and call your doctor.
  • Identify your school’s person(s) to contact if your child gets sick.
Name of school point person(s): Nurse Mary Morris, Ms. Youlia and Ms. Struve
  • Be familiar with local COVID-19 testing sites in the event that you or your child develop symptoms. These may include sites with free testing available.
Local testing options: https://covid19.lacounty.gov/testing or call your doctor for a COVID-19 test.
  • Make sure your child is up-to-date with all recommended vaccines, including flu. All school- aged children should get an influenza flu vaccine every season, with rare exceptions. This is especially important this year because it is not known, what the affect of being sick with COVID-19 at the same time as the flu, will result in more severe illness.
  • Review and practice proper hand washing techniques at home, especially before and after eating, sneezing, coughing, and adjusting a mask or cloth face covering. Make hand washing fun and explain to your child why it’s important.
  • Please pack a lunch (the cafeteria is closed) and have a water bottle that can be refilled at the classroom water dispenser. (All outside water fountains are closed.) No snacks or food may be shared.
  • Develop daily routines before and after school—for example, things to pack for school in the morning (like hand sanitizer and an additional (back up) mask) and things to do when you return home (like washing hands immediately and washing masks).
  • Talk to your child about precautions to take at school. Children may be advised to:
Wash and sanitize their hands more often.
Keep physical distance from other students.
Wearing a mask is mandatory.
  • Avoid sharing objects with other students, including water bottles, devices, writing instruments, and books.
  • Develop a plan as a family to protect household members who are at increased risk for severe illness.
  • Make sure your personal information is current at school, including emergency contacts and individuals authorized to pick up your child(ren) from school. If that list includes anyone who is at an increased risk for severe illness from COVID-19, consider identifying an alternate person.
  • Be familiar with your school’s plan for how they will communicate with families when a positive case or exposure to someone with COVID-19 is identified: Student privacy is mandatory in medical issues. The school will be communicating via phone calls, emailing and texting (via your Gradelink information) to keep everyone informed.
  • Plan for possible school closures or periods of quarantine. If transmission is increasing in your community or if multiple children or staff test positive for COVID-19, the school might close. Similarly, if a close contact of your child (within or outside of school) tests positive for COVID-19, your child may need to stay home for a 2-week quarantine period. You may need to consider the feasibility of teleworking, taking leave from work, or identifying someone who can supervise your child in the event of school closures or quarantine.
