Information from Don Lee, TUSD Trustee. John Bailey, President Southeast Torrance Homeowners’ Association, Inc. (SETHA) We are planning for two options, full Distance Learning (all on-line) and a Social Distanced Option where K-5 would go to school half days (there would be a AM and PM cohort) everyday but Wednesday. Wednesday would be used for Teacher conferences and on-line activities with all of the kids, both those distance learning and those going to school at the site.   For Middle and High School they will go to school every other day with Wednesday being for Teacher conferences and school wide on-line activities.
