COVID19 Update 01/09/2023

For the past four academic years (2019-2020, 2020-2021, 2021-2022, 2022-2023)under the COVID19 pandemic, we have been able to maintain a safe learning environment for all our children and school families, and a safe work environment for all staff. We are very blessed that our "global village" truly cares about one another! A deep and heartfelt "thank you" goes to our amazing SAS Team for their endless dedication and support in keeping our children safe and healthy! 

Beginning with January 2023, it appears that while COVID19 could resurge unpredictably at any time, for the time being, we are able to resume a more "relaxed" approach to our learning environments and COVID19 preventions measures. We look forward to rebuilding, and overcoming the impact of this pandemic, with courage and perseverance. We reserve the right to adjust our internal strategies as needed, based on period debriefings with local public health officials and other authorities (CDC, CA DPH, LA County DPH, Archdiocese of Los Angeles).

To our "Heroes" in our nation (first responders, nurses, medical staff, teachers, educational staff, maintenance, police, firefighters, EMTs and anyone else who has been working at the "frontlines" of COVID19, we thank you for your incredible service to our school, our communities and our nation! Thank you! 
Blessings, Dr. Nguyen.

COVID19 Update 01/02/2022
We offer a Hybrid HyperFlex Instruction since March 2020 to combat COVID19, and to keep our students and staff safe! On a daily basis, our parents have a choice between sending their child to in-person instruction or to access their classroom remotely online, as needed.
For two calendar years, our prevention measures have proven very effective so far, with ZERO cases of COVID19 on campus between January 1, 2020 and December 17, 2021. However, with the current surge we can't guarantee that this persists in 2022.
St.Augustine School continues to provide a quality Catholic education in 2022, despite the challenges of the current Omicron and Delta varriants of COVID19. We strictly adhere to all recommendations, and comply with all mandates from the US Center for Disease Control, CA State Department of Public Health, Los Angeles County Department of Public Health and the Archdiocese of Los Angeles Department of Catholic Schools.
We require that all of our students and staff are tested before they return to school in 2022. We offer this free weekly testing to students in K-8. Parents of PS2+, PS3+ and TK students must provide their own lab-confirmed, negative COVID19 test results, before students can re-enter our campus. 
For more details and information, please call our office at (310) 838-3144

“I can’t thank you enough for reopening SAS!!!!! My kids came back home so excited to start school.  I had never seen them so happy!!  My kids were so overjoyed to return to school that they took it upon themselves to buy new uniforms and new black sneakers with their life savings.  The big highlights were the Ghostbusters cleaning crew and the robotic trash can.  God bless you all for making this possible.”

"keep our students in school and keep COVID19 out of our school."
