The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department has lifted the lockdown at Lake Los Angeles Elementary after ensuring the area was safe. The lockdown was put in place after shots were fired approximately four blocks from the school. Families may now pick up their children from the morning classes at Lake Los Angeles. As an added precaution we have cancelled in-person learning for afternoon classes for today.
Lake Los Angeles is now on lockdown due to police activity in the area. As soon as more details are available, an update will be shared.

Now that the schools are open, individuals may be experiencing increased concern or anxiety. Please consider engaging in a free informational seminar with our partnering agency, Familias Unidas, sponsored by the Keppel Union School District. We care about our students, their families, our staff, and the Keppel learning community!
To celebrate our students, and thanks to the support of some of our amazing sponsors like Mattel, Home Depot, Bombas Socks, Jennifer Garner, Baby2Baby, and Save the Children, backpacks were stuffed with welcome items for all kindergarten and transitional kindergarten (TK) students in the district.
Registration for the RISE Program is now open. Register online or visit your child's school office. Spaces are limited.
