Our school's hours of operation on school days are from 7:45 am until 3:30 pm. The Power Apps mobile app is no longer supported to generate your Daily Pass.

If you are having difficulty scheduling a COVID Test appointment, please note that testing centers are now accepting walk-ins. Anticipate a longer wait, but you will be able to get your test. You should be able to generate a Daily Pass as long as you have a baseline test in the system and an appointment scheduled.

El horario de atención de nuestra escuela durante los días escolares es de 7:45 am a 3:30 pm. La aplicación móvil Power Apps ya no es compatible para generar su Pase diario. Acceda al portal Daily Pass en línea en dailypass.lausd.net. El uso del pase diario ayuda a evitar la formación de multitudes en las entradas debido a interacciones demoradas causadas por tomarse el tiempo para responder a las preguntas de detección. Si tiene dificultades para programar una cita para la prueba COVID, tenga en cuenta que los centros de pruebas ahora aceptan visitas sin cita previa. Anticipe una espera más larga, pero podrá hacerse la prueba. Debería poder generar un Pase diario siempre que tenga una prueba de referencia en el sistema y una cita programada. ¡Haga clic en el titular para acceder a información adicional, enlaces y un video especial creado por uno de nuestros Eruditos Spartanos!
