COVID-19 RESOURCES AND INFORMATION

COVID-19 Resources - LTUSD & Community partners are here for you...  School staff members want you to know that your needs are our top priority! We have student and family advocates who are able to assist you in accessing a multitude of resources right here in South Lake Tahoe. We also understand that there can be barriers to accessing those resources...or perhaps you are unsure about which organizations and services are right for your circumstances. The school district can assist in connecting you, respectfully and confidentially. We want to help. The District Office phone number is (530) 541-2850 ext. 0.


SCHEDULE A VACCINE APPOINTMENT 

All county partners have been moved over to the state's required MyTurn system.  Residents can register in the state's MyTurn system to be notified by email or text when they become eligible for a vaccine AND when an appointment becomes available!  

It does not work with landline phones.  

Visit MyTurn.ca.gov for more information.  Register at MyTurn.ca.gov to receive notification of available clinics posted in that system.  You will be notified by the system of vaccine available in your area. 

SECOND DOSES
: If you registered for your first dose though MyTurn and were not prompted to register for your second dose at the same time, you should register again to be notified when clinics are available.  

If you are registering for an El Dorado Public Health Clinic through MyTurn, we still request that you print, complete, and bring with you the COVID19 Screening Consent form Eng 3.30.21.pdf

If you need assistance registering for a #COVID19 vaccine via MyTurn or have questions, including verifying your appointment, there's a Chat function you can use at the bottom of the homepage. There's also a hotline for assistance 7 days a week: 1-833-422-4255.
