It is the policy of the Los Angeles Unified School District to encourage the participation of family and community members in school activities and programs. At Cowan Avenue, we invite the active involvement of our school community. The following visitors’ policy has been established.

All campus visitors MUST:

• After entering the school office, request an appointment for a visitation date and time from the office staff. The staff will then confer with the classroom teacher. School hours are 7:45AM to 2:45PM

• Complete a Visitor’s Permit and obtain the principal’s/designee’s approval before proceeding to the classroom. Visitors must sign the Visitors’ Log, located at the front counter in the main office.

• Determine the classroom activity you are observing, and keep the classroom observation time and frequency reasonable.

• Follow the school’s established procedures for scheduling an appointment with the teacher(s) and/or principal/designee after the classroom visit, if needed. Requests for appointments should be given to the office staff.

• Return the Visitor’s Permit to the school office before leaving campus and sign out in the Visitors’ Log.

• Some important rules for visitors: please enter and leave the classroom as quietly as possible; please do not converse with the students, teacher and/or instructional aides during the visitation; and please do not interfere with any school activity during the visitation
