News & Announcements

Weather Alert!

Greetings. This is principal Skrumbis with an important update. We are experiencing significant heat across the region this week. Please know that as always, we prioritize the safety and well-being of everyone in our school community.

In addition, we are taking the following measures to ensure that we continue to provide a safe and comfortable learning environment:
1. Modified schedules for recess/nutrition/lunch to ensure that students are not outdoors for an excessive amount of time
2. Modified activities during physical education and Beyond the Bell programs
3. Rescheduled or modified activities for athletics or clubs that involve outdoor play (HIGH SCHOOL ONLY)
4. Working with our Building and Grounds team to ensure that our HVAC systems are fully operational
5. Keeping doors and windows closed in air-conditioned rooms
6. Providing students with frequent reminders and opportunities to drink water
7. Observing students during physical activity periods and modify and/or limiting activities, as necessary
8. Limiting the use of asphalt, concrete, playground equipment, and artificial turf surfaces to cooler early hours, if these surfaces are too hot

To support us in this effort, please consider the following:
1. Wear comfortable clothing that is breathable, light colored, lightweight and loose
2. Apply sunscreen and wear proper clothing and hats to prevent sunburn for times when students may be outside, such as if they walk to or from school
3. Drink lots of water to prevent dehydration and bring liquids and snacks as appropriate. Water containers should not be shared between students and students may not consume food or drink while riding on District buses
4. If your student has any underlying health conditions exacerbated by heat, inform the school nurse or classroom teacher
5. Symptoms of heat related illness, such as fatigue, fainting, dehydration, thirst, or muscle cramps should be reported to a coach or teacher immediately

Additional information on preventing heat stress may be found at www.lausd.org/oehs, or at @laschools.

Thank you for your continued engagement and support. Should you have any questions, please contact the main office at 310-522-5400.




Saludos. Les habla el/la director/a Skrumbis con una actualización importante. Estamos teniendo condiciones de bastante calor en toda la región esta semana. Por favor tengan en cuenta que, como siempre, priorizamos la seguridad y el bienestar de todos en nuestra comunidad escolar.

Además, estamos tomando las siguientes medidas para garantizar que continuemos proporcionando un entorno de aprendizaje seguro y cómodo:
1. Horarios modificados para el recreo, el receso y el almuerzo para asegurarnos de que los estudiantes no estén al aire libre durante demasiado tiempo
2. Actividades modificadas durante las clases de educación física y en los programas Beyond the Bell después del horario escolar
3. Reprogramación de horarios o modificación de actividades para deportes o clubes que requieran estar al aire libre (solamente preparatorias)
4. Trabajar con nuestro equipo de Edificios y Terrenos para garantizar que nuestros sistemas de climatización estén funcionando adecuadamente
5. Mantener las puertas y ventanas cerradas en las aulas con aire acondicionado
6. Proporcionarles a los estudiantes recordatorios frecuentes y oportunidades para beber agua
7. Observar a los estudiantes durante los períodos de actividad física y modificar y/o limitar las actividades, según sea necesario
8. Limitar el uso de áreas de asfalto, cemento, juegos infantiles y superficies de césped artificial a un horario de menor temperatura y más temprano, si estas superficies se calientan demasiado

Para apoyarnos con estas medidas, por favor consideren lo siguiente:
1. Usar ropa cómoda que sea transpirable, de color claro, ligera y suelta
2. Aplicarse protector solar y usar ropa y sombreros adecuados para evitar quemaduras solares en momentos en que los estudiantes puedan estar afuera, o si caminan hacia -o provenientes de- la escuela
3. Beber mucha agua para evitar la deshidratación y llevar líquidos y bocadillos según corresponda. Los envases de agua no deberán compartirse entre estudiantes. Además, los estudiantes no pueden consumir alimentos o bebidas mientras viajan en los autobuses del Distrito
4. Si su estudiante tiene alguna condición de salud subyacente que empeora con el calor, infórmelo al personal de enfermería de la escuela o al maestro de clase
5. Los síntomas de enfermedades relacionadas con el calor, como fatiga, desmayo, deshidratación, sed o calambres musculares, deberán reportarse a un entrenador o maestro inmediatamente

Para obtener información adicional sobre cómo prevenir el estrés por calor visiten www.lausd.org/oehs, o @laschools.

Nuevamente gracias por su continua paciencia y apoyo. Si tienen alguna pregunta, no duden en comunicarse a la oficina principal at 310-522-5400.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

About Us

Harry  Bridges,  our  namesake  and  legendary  ILWU  organizer,  famously  said,  “Few of us really believed that we could win a decent wage, a little dignity and security on the job.....let alone having a college education for the kids.”    We  view  these words as the cornerstone for the development of Harry Bridges Span School. In our working class and largely Latino community of Wilmington, social justice means providing the educational foundation to make college and career readiness a reality for all students.

Our Mission

The mission of Harry Bridges Span School (Grades K-8) is to provide a world-class education for all students by ensuring a safe, nurturing, and collaborative student-centered environment that fosters student achievement, values effort, and promotes social justice.
