in Pacific Palisades The 2020-21 school year is kicking off in Pacific Palisades and across the state in a way that it never has before. Los Angeles Unified School District Superintendent Austin Beutner announced that campuses in the district would remain closed at the start of the year in mid-July, ahead of Governor Gavin Newsom’s state- wide order that counties on the Monitoring List are to remain closed until they are off the list for two weeks. As we take this time to plan the coming year and also reflect on what back to school looked like in years past, the Palisadian-Post shares an assortment of photos—captured by Staff Photographer Rich Schmitt—of the first day of school and beloved school events from previous years. It reminds us, though things are different now, we can look ahead to a bright future and to the return of the events and traditions that make Palisades charter and private schools so special.
