Dear Families,
While school attendance is important for student success, our priority is the health and
safety of our students. Please know that PUENTE Charter School is closely monitoring
the current Coronavirus concerns and we are taking precautions to maintain the safety of
our students and staff.
Please know that our daily cleaning procedures are already extremely thorough, however,
our entire school has elevated its hygiene and cleanliness practices where classrooms and
shared spaces are receiving additional cleaning service. Antimicrobial and antibacterial
cleaning solutions are readily available to all students and staff. Teachers are promoting
and reminding children to practice good hygiene in the classroom, in the play area,
restroom, and food court to prevent the spread of illness. Computers, toys, and shared
areas are being disinfected.
Please help us reinforce these best practices with the children at home:
Remind children to wash their hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, especially after visiting the restroom; before eating; after blowing their nose, coughing, sneezing, or touching their face.
Remind children to avoid touching their eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands.
Remind children to cover their cough or sneeze with a tissue, then discard the tissue in the trash and wash their hands.
As always, we advise parents to not send their children to school if they are sick. This
ensures your child is able to get the proper care and rest they need and protects the health
and wellness of our students and staff.
This is an evolving situation and we are monitoring it closely to ensure all proper precautions are being taken so everyone feels safe attending class. County health officials have told Los Angeles Unified, at this time that it is safe for all schools to remain open on a normal schedule. We will continue to follow updates and protocol suggested by the CDC, Department of Public Health, LAUSD, and other credible agencies to best ensure the safety of our students and staff.
In the event of a possible school closure, please know that PUENTE is prepared with mobile learning and “At-Home Learning Extension Packets” for students to continue learning in their home environment. We appreciate your attention and precaution.
Queridas Familias,
Aunque la asistencia a la escuela es importante para el exito de los estudiantes, nuestra prioridad es la salud y la seguridad de nuestros estudiantes. Por favor, sepan que la Escuela Charter PUENTE esta monitoreando de cerca las preocupaciones actuales sobre el Coronavirus y estamos tomando precauciones para mantener la seguridad de nuestros estudiantes y personal. Por favor, sepan que nuestros procedimientos de limpieza diaria ya son extremadamente toda nuestra escuela ha elevado sus practicas de higiene y limpieza donde las aulas y los espacios compartidos estan recibiendo un servicio de limpieza adicional. Las soluciones de limpieza antimicrobianas y antibacterianas estan disponibles para todos los estudiantes y el personal. Los maestros estan promoviendo y recordando a los ninos que practiquen una buena higiene en el aula, en el area de juego, en el bano y en el patio de comidas para evitar la propagacion de enfermedades. Se estan desinfectando las computadoras, los juguetes y las areas compartidas.
Por favor, ayudenos a reforzar estas mejores practicas con los ninos en casa:
Recuerde a los ninos que se laven las manos a menudo con agua y jabon durante al menos 20 segundos, especialmente despues de visitar el bano; antes de comer; despues de sonarse la nariz, toser, estornudar o tocarse la cara.
Recuerde a los ninos que eviten tocarse los ojos, la nariz y la boca con las manos sin lavar.
Recuerdele a los ninos que se cubran la tos o el estornudo con un panuelo de papel, y que luego tiren el panuelo a la basura y se laven las manos.
Esta es una situacion en evolucion y la estamos monitoreando de cerca para asegurarnos de que se tomen todas las precauciones necesarias para que todos se sientan seguros al asistir a clase. Los oficiales de salud del condado han dicho a Districto de Escuelas de Los Angeles Unified, en este momento que es seguro que todas las escuelas permanezcan abiertas en un horario normal. Continuaremos siguiendo las actualizaciones y el protocolo sugerido por el CDC, el Departamento de Salud Publica, el LAUSD y otras agencias creibles para garantizar mejor la seguridad de nuestros estudiantes y personal.
En caso de un posible cierre de la escuela, por favor sepan que PUENTE esta preparado con aprendizaje movil y "Paquetes de Extension de Aprendizaje en Casa" para que los estudiantes continuen aprendiendo en su ambiente hogareno. Apreciamos su atencion y precaucion.

Prueba de Suficiencia en el Idioma Inglés
Summativo de California o “ELPAC”
What is the California
English Language
evelopment Test?
State law (Education
Code sections 313,
60810, and 60812)

for California (ELPAC).
The purpose of this test
is to identify students
who are English Learners.
¿En qué consiste la prueba de evaluación del desarrollo de la lengua inglesa del estado de California? La legislación estatal exige a todos los distritos escolares de enseñanza pública de California a evaluar a todos los estudiantes cuya lengua materna no sea el Ingles por medio de una prueba del ámbito estatal. Dicha prueba se conoce como la Prueba de Suficiencia en el Idioma Inglés Inicial de California o “ELPAC inicial”. La finalidad de esta prueba es detectar a los estudiantes del Kínder que estén aprendiendo el Inglés. Se considera que
An English Learner is a
student whose primary
home language is
something other than
English, and who is not
yet proficient in English.
Who must take the
ELPAC?
All students whose home
language is not English
must take the test. Your
child’s home language
was identified on the

The ELPAC covers
listening, reading, writing
and speaking skills for first

This state test will be
administered by

un estudiante esta aprendiendo el Ingles cuando su lengua materna no es esta y todavía no ha adquirido un dominio pleno de la misma. ¿Quiénes deben presentar la prueba ELPAC? Deben presentar la prueba todos los estudiantes cuya lengua materna no sea el Inglés y se hayan matriculado en un centro de enseñanza pública de California por primera vez. Esta información es identificada por medio de la encuesta de lenguaje del hogar que
completaron en la aplicación de la matrícula.
¿Que evalúa la prueba ELPAC? Al nivel de Primer Grado, la prueba ELPAC evalúa destrezas de comprensión verbal y de expresión oral y escritura. La prueba ELPAC se corresponde con los estándares académicos estatales para el desarrollo del inglés.
