All Los Angeles Unified Schools and Offices Closed on Thursday, Jan. 9

As of Jan. 8, 5:00 p.m.

All Los Angeles Unified schools and offices will be closed on Thursday, Jan. 9. The confluence of factors – wind, fire, and smoke – have created dangerous, complex situations that present unsafe conditions for our school communities. Select essential personnel will be contacted by their supervisors regarding potential work duties.

Students will continue to have digital access to academic resources as part of the District’s Continuity of Learning efforts. More information is available at https://www.lausd.org/learningcontinues.

The District will continue assessing the situation over the next 24 hours while preparing for the possibility of online learning on Friday, Jan. 10. A decision about Friday, Jan. 10 will be announced by 4:00 p.m. on Thursday.

Available resources include the following:

Meal Distribution: From 8:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. on Jan. 9, Los Angeles Unified will open eight sites (two per region) to provide meals for students. District families may stop by and walk into any of these locations to receive two meals per student. This will only be available for Los Angeles Unified students.
