Experiencing housing instability?

We are continuing to find ways to help those without a stable home address to connect to the internet from whever they are so they can participate in online learning. One way we're doing so is providing mobile 'MiFi hot spot' devices. To inquire about one of these, please provide your household information to your child's school's local district office. If you are not sure which local district you belong to, use the school directory tool to locate your child's school and identify the correct loccal district.

Visit device.lausd.net to indicate any unmet device needs for one or more of your students. This will ensure that your child's school is equipped with an adequate number of devices in its inventory to supply any student in need with a cimputing device.

Also, be sure to inform your child's school of any devices that are lost, damaged, or stolen, so they can update their records and get a viable, working device into the hands of the students as quickly as possible.

Please chat with an agent or call 213-443-1300 during business hours for any type of technical support for students.

You should report a lost/stolen device to the issuing school as soon as possible. Things happen, but we do have measures in place to help recover devices that go missing.

  • First: our technicians are able to deactivate devices remotely wherever they are; thus, the device will not be usable to anyone who may find or steal the device.
  • Second: lost/stolen devices are immediately reported to law enforcement who can use global position system (GPS) technology to track down the location of the device.

Any lessons in which students participate must not be recorded, as it may be a violation of privacy rights. Teachers, however, may wish to pre-record lessons (without students) using applications provided by the district.

The purpose of the personal identification number (PIN) is to allow your child's school to verify you are the actual parent or guardian and have rights to the student's information. Contact the school directly to request a PIN. If you are unablle to reach someone at your school, call 213-443-1300 during business hours to make the request, and the information will be forwarded to your school to make contact with you.

Due to the cost-prohibitive nature of telephone conference bridges, we are recommending employees take advantage of online conferencing tools instead. They provide a great deal more functionality than traditional telephone bridges without the cost.

LAUSD has an agreement with Zoom, enabling employees to use their single sign-on accounts to set up online meetings free of charge.
