You are invited to attend a “charrette” for the Eagle Rock Family of Schools tomorrow, October 2, 2012 from 4:00p-6:00p at the Eagle Rock High School Library.  As part of the District-wide master planning process, the Facilities Services Division (FSD) has conducted a study of each of the District's properties by high school complex.  This was done to capture current conditions on each campus and to identify issues that need to be addressed through construction and modernization projects, and then to create a conceptual master and/or conceptual modernization plan for each campus.

At this charrette, or public meeting/workshop devoted to a concerted effort to solve a problem or plan the design of something, facilities planners and outside architects will present their work so that decisions can be made to finalize the conceptual plans.

To all of our wonderful teachers.  Here's a terrific professional development program to consider offered at LACMA on select Tuesdays. 

This Tuesday, October 2 is "Art and Architecture"

Explore the relationship between art and architecture through the work of LA-born ceramicist and LA-based architect Frank Gehry. Featuring Ken Price Sculpture: A Retrospective, this program will highlight the late artist’s  architectural influences from ancient Pueblo dwellings to contemporary New Mexican landscapes as well as his collaborations with long-time friend and designer Gehry.
