Mansfield Elementary School

Out of an abundance of caution for the safety of our students, staff, and families, and in consultation with the LA Department of Health, Mansfield Elementary and Middle School will shift to virtual-only instruction beginning tomorrow, Thursday, October 22, and return to face-to-face learning on Tuesday, October 27. We have recently noticed an increase in the number of students exhibiting flu-like symptoms and want to take every precaution possible to ensure the safety and health of our students, staff, and families. Thank you for your cooperation and understanding.

REMINDER: There will be no face-to-face instruction for students Thursday or Friday. Students will participate in remote learning only. Due to the likelihood of power outages in the area during the storm, no “new” learning will be introduced. Students should use this time to catch up on missing assignments and study for upcoming tests. Stay safe! #DeSotoStrong

Students in Middle School & High School will return to campus 4 days per week when the state moves to Phase III. Due to bus capacity and group size restrictions during Phase II, bringing middle & high school students back 4 days per week is not possible. #DeSotoStrong
