Sixth graders in the Redondo Unified School District returned to in person classes for two days a week on Wednesday, March 10, in a hybrid learning model with limited classroom sizes.
To comply with guidelines set by the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health, sixth grade students were broken up into two groups, or cohorts. Cohort One students attend in person classes for half the day on Tuesday and Thursday, while Cohort Two students do the same schedule on Wednesday and Friday.
Seventh and eighth grade students in the RBUSD are scheduled to return to campus on March 29, in one of two models, depending on whether or not LA County sees a drop in positive COVID-19 tests.
