March 17, 2017 Dear Admitted Families, All of us share a commitment to ethical practices in independent school admissions. In an effort to ease those burdens, the Heads of the undersigned Los Angeles schools have agreed to the following principles of good practice for K – 12 admissions: 2017 common reply dates affecting 2017-2018 school year applicants: Grades 9-12: Tuesday, March 21, 2017. Grades K-8: Monday, March 27, 2017 No school-initiated visits after notification letters are sent. High schools who receive requests for visits from newly admitted high school students are welcome to invite those students onto their campuses. LASH principles of good practice do not, however, support visits from newly admitted middle school students during the period between your notification and the above listed reply deadlines. No applicant will be contacted by any representative of the school – including administrators, teachers, coaches, Board members, alumni, alumni parents, parents, and students – once the admissions notification letters have been sent. This action is taken in an effort to avoid adding pressure to families through last minute “recruiting” practices. Obviously, admitted students and their parents are welcome to contact schools to have questions answered. Thank you for your interest in the Los Angeles area independent schools. We hope your experience during this application process has been both educational and fulfilling. Sincerely, The Heads of School of Abraham Joshua Heschel Day School Harvard-Westlake School Seven Arrows Elementary School Adat Ari El Day School Heschel West Sierra Canyon School The Archer School for Girls Hollywood Schoolhouse Sinai Akiba Academy Berkeley Hall School The John Thomas Dye School Stephen S. Wise Elementary School Beth Hillel Day School Kadima Hebrew Academy St. James’ Episcopal Day School Brawerman Elementary Laurence School St. Matthew’s Parish School Brentwood School Los Encinos School Temple Israel of Hollywood Day School The Buckley School Marlborough School Turning Point School Carlthorp School Marymount High School Valley Beth Shalom Day School Calvary Christian School Milken Community High School Viewpoint School Campbell Hall The Mirman School Village School The Center for Early Education New Roads School Vistamar Chadwick School The Oaks School The Wesley School Chatsworth Hills Academy Oakwood School Westerly School of Long Beach Children’s Community School Pacific Hills Westland School The Country School The Pegasus School Westside Neighborhood School Crossroads School Pilgrim School Wildwood School Curtis School Pressman Academy The Willows Community School Echo Horizon School PS#1 Elementary School Windward School .

California Association of Independent Schools Statement on Gun
XXXXX SFChronicle.com | Sunday, March 11, 2018 | A9 CaliforniaAssociation of IndependentSchools Statement on Gun Violence and School Safety As the Board of Directors of the California Association of Independent Schools, we join our Executive Director and the undersigned colleagues from our member schools —aswell as other independent, religious, and proprietaryschools throughout California —inanguish over the February14school shooting in Parkland, Florida. We extend our deepest sympathy to the families of the victims of this and everyschool shooting, and we stand in unwavering support of the survivors. We also stand in full solidarity with concerned educators nationwide. Today,school shootings are appallinglyroutine. Innocent lives of flourishingyoung people have been cut short, and students of everyage in countless communities are afraidtogotoschool. These students are our futureleaders. They and others, with amyriad of different perspectives, are also eager to change this paradigm by navigating our democratic processes, by engaging in respectful civic discourse, and by acting as catalysts for needed change, which we heartily applaud. We need to listen to their voices and respond to their pleas to make schools safe. As educators and as citizens, we are proud Republicans, Democrats, and Independents who believethatour countryneed notchoose between the rightful protection of responsiblegun ownership and the necessaryprevention of gun violence. We believe thatthe epidemic of gun violence in schools is an issue of non-partisan urgency, one thatdemands ahigher duty of care. We recall with admiration the ability to rise above partisanship on this issue displayed by two former Presidents, DemocratJimmy Carter and Republican Ronald Reagan, both of whom owned guns. In 1994, they worked together to help reduce the number of dangerous weapons available to private citizens.

Dear Applicant Families
Dear Applicant Families, As independent schools, we are varied in our educational philosophies and programs but united in our commitment to ethical practices in our admission offices. The Heads of the undersigned Los Angeles schools have agreed to the following principles of good practice for K – 12 admissions: In order to minimize timing dilemmas for applicant families, we have agreed to these common notification and reply dates for fall 2017 admission: Grades 9-12: Notification letters will be sent on Friday, March 10, 2017 Email notifications can be sent at 5pm on Friday, March 10, 2017 Replies will be due on Tuesday, March 21, 2017 Grades K-8: Notification can be sent on Friday, March 17, 2017 Email notifications can be sent starting at 5pm on Friday, March 17, 2017 Replies will be due on Monday, March 27, 2017 Once notifications have been sent, schools will not initiate visits, whether for individuals or groups (e.g., through open houses). We are mindful of the disruption to students’ education in their current schools that additional visits to prospective schools can cause, so we do not encourage such visits. However, schools that receive requests for newly admitted students and/or parents may grant those requests at their discretion. No applicant or applicant family will be contacted by any representative of the school – once admissions notification begins. Of course, admitted students and their parents are welcome to contact schools to have questions answered. We share an interest in making the independent school application experience as informative and enjoyable as possible. And we are joined in our conviction that the independent school world can offer unique and rich educational opportunities for young people.
