Press-Telegram's Scary Stories Contest

With Halloween almost here, the Long Beach Press-Telegram is again launching its Scary Stories contest for Long Beach area youth. Winning entries – both stories and artwork – will be published in the Press-Telegram on Halloween. The rules are the same as last year. There will be three age categories for stories and drawings: elementary school (K-5), middle school (grades 6-8), and high school (grades 9-12).

Here are the rules:

• The deadline is Monday, Oct. 15.

• All entries must be emailed, with the entrant’s name and grade, and the subject line “Scary Stories,” to: ptnews@presstelegram. Stories can be submitted in the body of the email, or as a Word attachment; drawings should be submitted in JPEG format, no larger than 5MB in size.

• Stories must be no longer than 650 words.

• Artwork must be original (no tracings).

• Entries will be judged based on imagination, creativity and theme.

• The winning entries will be published in the Press-Telegram on Oct. 31, and posted online at www.presstelegram.com/.

If you have any questions, e-mail Press-Telegram City Editor Susan Jacobs at sjacobs@scng.com or call 310-543-6110. Local teachers – current and retired – the Press-Telegram needs your help. If you have interest in being a judge, please let them know.

Los Cerritos to be a Closed Campus starting August 2018 - What does this mean for families?

Communities have spoken and urged the superintendent to install fencing that will secure our schools. This request has been granted, and in anticipation of the new fences, that will be constructed by January 2019, we will begin the 2018-19 school year as a "Closed Campus." What does this mean for families? Only school staff and family/community members that are registered Volunteers in Public Schools (VIPS) will be allowed to access campus during school hours with the intention of supporting classrooms. This means campus will not be open during lunch for families to eat and spend time with their students. Also our campus may be closed to the community during the evenings and weekends once fencing goes up. We hope you understand the need for this change in our policy and procedures because our students' safety comes first. If you have any questions about becoming a VIPS or anything else regarding the new closed campus policy, please call our office when we reopen on August 20th. Thank you, have a great summer!

Alissa Gamboa,

Principal
