New Millennium Secondary School is requesting vended meal proposals for the 2020-21 school year.

Vendors may submit proposals to:

New Millennium Secondary School reserves the right to accept or reject any and/or all proposals or to accept the proposal that it finds, in its sole discretion, to be in the best interest of the school district.

There will be a non-mandatory pre-proposal meeting hosted online on May 20th, 2020 at 10:00 AM PDT. Email ryan@schoolfoodsolutions.org to RSVP and receive the log-in and dial-in numbers. 

Due to Coronavirus, children who are eligible for free or reduced-price meals at school will receive extra food benefits.

These food benefits are called Pandemic EBT or P-EBT benefits. P-EBT benefits help families in California buy food when schools are closed because of the coronavirus emergency. Families will receive up to $365 per eligible child on their P-EBT card to use on food and groceries.

Families with children who get CalFresh, Medi-Cal or Foster Care benefits were enrolled automatically and do not need to apply. Most got their P-EBT card in the mail during the month of May (P-EBT cards began arriving around May 12, 2020 to May 22, 2020). 

Families who have not received their cards or who are eligible for free or reduced-price meals and who do not receive             their P-EBT card in the mail by May 22, 2020 must apply online before June 30, 2020.

If you  have questions, you  can reach out to PandemicEBT@dss.ca.gov or by calling 211.  The direct application link is below.

**Children may continue to receive "grab n go" meals or emergency food at COVID-19 emergency 

feeding sites offered by schools and community locations, even if they are receiving P-EBT benefits.

MUST APPLY BY JUNE 30^th.  The direct application link:

How to talk to children / youth about the Coronavirus? 

Remain calm

Children will react to both what you say and how you say it. Make yourself available to listen and to talk. Let them know that adults at home and school are taking care of their health and safety.

Maintain a normal routine

The best thing families can do is maintain a regular routine and practice safe hygiene. It is also important to stay connected to friends and family even if that means via FaceTime, Skype or other virtual technology.

Pay attention to what children see or hear on television, radio or online

Consider reducing the amount of screen time focused on the coronavirus. Too much information on one topic can lead to fear, worry, and anxiety.

To the Los Angeles Unified School Community,

This past week marks the start of a new chapter for all who are part of our school community. Students are learning in different ways, teachers are teaching in different ways and families are struggling to support their children in their studies while balancing other responsibilities.

I wish I could tell you it will all be back to normal sometime soon but it does not look like that will be the case.

Schools will remain closed through May 1^st and we will provide additional updates well before May 1^st on what will come next.

In the interim, we want to continue to help all students learn and will be making a significant effort to help this happen.

I will provide a more complete update to our entire school community today at 11 a.m. My remarks will be broadcast on KLCS-TV as well as on our website. Please tune in if your schedule permits.

Thank you for your continued patience and support.

Austin Beutner
Superintendent

Good Morning Warrior Families,

As always, we are concerned with the health of all of our students, staff, and families. With the recent concerns worldwide with the Coronavirus we wanted to reach out to you to let you know that we receive regular communication from the California Department of Public Health with updates on the virus and recommendations at the school level. 

The 2019 novel coronavirus is a virus that was recently identified in Wuhan, Hubei Province, China, and is now being spread widely in other parts of mainland China. More cases are being detected worldwide, and while new cases were initially linked to Hubei Province, China, at this time public health considers being anywhere in China in the past 14 days a risk factor for novel coronavirus infection.

The virus causes respiratory illness. For up-to-date information regarding the novel coronavirus, see:
• the California Department of Public Health website at
https://www.cdph.ca.gov/Programs/CID/DCDC/Pages/Immunization/nCOV2019.aspx; or
• Centers for Disease Control (CDC) website at https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/index.html

At this time, the health risk to the general public in California from novel coronavirus remains low, but schools and families can take common-sense precautions to prevent the spread of all infectious diseases. These precautions will be helpful to also prevent the spread of other common illnesses such as influenza and gastroenteritis.

At this time we would like to encourage all students, parents, and staff to take everyday preventive actions:

• Stay home when sick
• Remain at home until a fever has been gone for at least 24 hours without the use of fever-reducing medicines
• Seek immediate medical care if symptoms become more severe, e.g. high fever or difficulty breathing
• Use "respiratory etiquette"
• Cover cough with a tissue or sleeve
• Wash hands frequently
• Routinely clean frequently touched surfaces (we will be doing this at school)
• Separate sick students and staff from others until they can go home
• Though this would not prevent the coronavirus, as always, we encourage the flu vaccine for those who haven't had it this season to reduce illnesses and absences on campus.

We will continue to monitor the situation and respond accordingly. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact the Main Office.
