Decades ago, a strong and determined individual had a vision... a dream of erecting a school that would transcend the hands of time... a school that would cater to the needs of children in an ever-changing world and prepare them for a future of unparalleled success.  We hope that individual is looking down upon us with admiration in her eyes and pride in her heart as we celebrate over 85 years of outstanding service to our community at Egremont School!

To comprehend the magnitude of history involved in this organization would be an endless task.  Each person who walks through the gates of Egremont plays a key role in the indelible mark created in history for the school.  In a sense, each person leaves his/her footprint... as a symbol to be etched forever within the confines of Egremont’s community.  Generations of families have come and gone... some still remain, and their dedication and support of this awe-inspiring educational institution are what generate the determination to move forward and share this “gem” of a school with others.     

Though faces have changed, new buildings have been constructed, technology has advanced, and new ventures await those who are a part of the Egremont family, its core essence as an outstanding educational organization remains.  Egremont seeks to educate the whole child and does so with the underlying devotion of knowing that what sets it apart from others in its field is the supporting and nurturing structure in which the business of education is provided.  From the faculty, staff, and administration... to the countless number of volunteers and families, Egremont stands at the forefront of a comprehensive learning environment.
Egremont Schools, Inc. is a nonprofit, coeducational, independent Preschool-Grade 5 day school serving 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 made changes to our 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. 
​
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/outbreaks. If your child becomes exposed to COVID-19, he or she may need to stay home. Please, talk to your children about the changes to expect this 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, safety precautions regarding quarantine will be followed. Follow Isolation or Quarantine Protocols on what to do when someone has a known exposure and call your doctor. Please inform the school so we can verify if there was any exposure at school.
  • Identify your school’s person(s) to contact if your child gets sick.
Name of school point person(s): 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 or order a lunch 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 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.
  • Wear a mask - optional... but strongly recommended.
  • 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 isolation and quarantine. 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.

Screening and Exposure Decision Pathways for Covid-19
Centers for Disease Control
*Currently, our COVID protocols are as follows:

 * A report of a positive COVID case will require the individual to enter an at-home isolation period for at least 5 days.  A COVID test may be taken on Day 6 or thereafter.  If the test is negative and no signs or symptoms of illness exist, the individual may return to school.  A medical grade mask or higher quality will be required to be worn by the individual for the duration of the 10th day from the time of the positive test result.

* Any affected class (Preschool-5th Grade) will be required to enter a modified at-school quarantine period for 10 days from the date of the positive test result.  The classroom remains open... but additional COVID testing and required masking for the 10 day period will be enforced.

* Individuals who have family members (living in the same household) who test positive for COVID are required to mask for a 10 day at-school quarantine period.
