Welcome to the 8 to 3 newsletter

I’m Sonja Sharp, a Metro reporter covering early childhood and education for the Los Angeles Times. Thank you for signing up for 8 to 3, our newsletter about parenting, kids and education in Southern California.

What’s going on with school? What do children need? Who makes the decisions that affect your family, what guides them, and who's being left out? And most important, whom can you trust?

Like most parents, my last year has been dominated by questions like these, and with this newsletter, we’ll try to bring you answers, in all their complexity. Every Monday evening, expect an exploration of these issues — education, equity, burnout and much more. We’ll also guide you through the latest news, research and perspectives.

To ensure you get the newsletter, please add this email address to your contacts or address book.
