About Daily Pass at LAUSD
According to Eran Megiddo, a Microsoft Corporate Vice President of Modern Life Learning, their top priority at Microsoft is to help educators, students and their caregivers with the tools and support that they need for their health and learning. Since the spring, their team have been collaborating with LA Unified to support running school remotely. They are excited for you to start using Daily Pass. But, what is the Daily Pass actually?
Daily Pass is an exclusive ticket for safely going back to school. Every week you are able to schedule your free on-campus Covid test. The results will be shown in your Daily Pass. You can also choose to take the test off campus and you can post the results in your Daily Pass. If there are vaccinations available, you will be able to make the schedule for you through your Daily Pass.
In the Daily Pass, there is a Daily Health Check. You just have to answer a few simple health questions every day and then your entrance ticket will appear. And then, you can print your daily pass.
Accessing the Daily Pass
There is a one stop show web app which has been launched by Los Angeles Unified. The app is built specifically for the District to guarantee that they get students, faculty and administrators back to schools and district offices as safely as possible.
