Dear Parents and Guardians, Since all schools in the district will be closed through Friday, May 1st, O’Melveny Elementary will move towards online learning using Schoology as the main platform. As such, it is important that every parent register through the Parent Portal system. Please make sure to do so as soon as possible. If you need assistance such as the PIN number, please email your child’s teacher. All teacher emails are posted on the O’Melveny website at https://omelvenyes-lausd-ca.schoolloop.com/ as well as many other resources for distance learning and Schoology.
Many of you have expressed concerns about not having electronic devices. Our district Superintendent has committed to provide iPads for every K-2 student and a chrome book for each 3-5 student. Once we are in receipt of these devices, I will contact you through email and a telephone message to arrange a pick up. This will be done by grade level and it will be a “grab and go” drive up process to maintain social distance.
Please continue to keep you and your family safe by staying at home. As always, if you have any questions, please feel free to email me at [email protected] . Thank you and good evening!
Estimados Padres y Tutores:
Debido a que todas las escuelas del distrito permanecerán cerradas hasta el viernes 1 de mayo, la escuela O’Melveny avanzará hacia el aprendizaje sobre el internet utilizando Schoology como la plataforma principal.

Si necesita ayuda, come el número PIN, envíe un email al maestro de su hijo. Todos los emails de los maestros se publican en el sitio web de O’Melvney: https://omelvenyes-lausd-ca.schoolloop.com así como muchos otros recursos para aprender en casa y para Schoology.
Muchos de ustedes han expresado su preocupación de no tener aparatos electrónicos. Nuestro Superintendente del distrito se ha comprometido a proporcionar iPads para cada estudiante de K-2 y un chrome book para cada estudiante de 3-5. Una vez que recibamos estos aparatos, me pondré en contacto con usted por email y un mensaje telefónico para organizar una recogida. Esto se hará por nivel de grado y será un proceso de “agarrar y llevar” para mantener la distancia social.
Continúe protegiéndose a usted y a su familia manteniendose en casa. Como siempre, si tiene alguna pregunta, no dude en enviarme un correo electrónico a [email protected] ¡Gracias y buenas noches!

Dear Parents and Guardians,
This is Mr. Vidrio principal at O’Melveny Elementary School with some important messages. Today, we complete our third week of remote learning. I am so proud of all our teachers as they transitioned from traditional to online teaching. I am equally proud of our students and families whose lives have changed dramatically as most of us are working and learning from home. Please continue to stay strong and healthy.
During our Spring Recess and day off tomorrow to celebrate Cesar Chavez all LAUSD Grab and Go centers will remain open from 7-11 am. Beginning on Monday, April 6th the schedule will be from 8-11 am. The closest center continues to be San Fernando High School.
To continue with online learning for all students, it is important that all parents are registered on the Parent Portal and Schoology to access student assignments. Also, please visit our school website for instructional resources including teachers’ Weekly Schedule. Communicate consistently with your child’s teacher though email, Schoology or whatever system the teacher has in place. All students at O’Melveny will be provided with electronic devices. I am expecting delivery of these devices during Spring Recess or at the latest during the week of April 13th. Please be ready to receive an email from me to inform you of a specific date and time for pick up. We will distribute them in a Grab and Go process to comply with social distancing.
I believe in each and every one of you! You are strong, resilient and I know that we will all get through this together. Thank you for your patience, understanding, and keep yourself engaged with your family by playing games, reading, and of coarse watching your favorite movies. Have a wonderful Spring Recess!
