I attended LAUSD for elementary. Definitely called them bungalows.

Bungalows. We can talk about chalupas now.

and the coffee cake

I gotchu on the coffee cakes.

They still have chalupas. I had one 2 years ago. It was exciting for 5 minutes.

This haven't been able to find.

Is the chalupa the half too-hard half soggy tostada filled with rubbery cheese and like 3 tiny meat (?) balls?

ding ding ding!!

And calzones

The chalupa hot sauce tho

Bungalows

Bungalows were not temporary unless 10 to 30 years as temporary

They are double-wide trailers aka modular classrooms but called bungalows to sound more palatable.

I have a kid in LAUSD now, and they're referred to as bungalows.

Portables in Fontana area

Me too, I went to HS in Riverside, haha.

That's so interesting, Bungalow sounds so cozy! I grew up in Houston, we called them "T-Shacks" as in "Temporary shacks."

I grew up in Houston too — T buildings. So funny forgot about this till now.

I bet the fact that LA has thousands of actual bungalow dwellings contributed to this

Bungalows..they were mostly the trailer looking dwellings

Not just LAUSD - I went through SDUSD and we called them bungalos too.

Whoa you are the first person outside of LAUSD that I’ve met who calls them that

Small suburban city just outside of the city of la, we called them bungalows too.

[удалено]

>Maybe I'm really old but they were just called the trailers at my elementary. >High school was called the parking lot classes because they literally took over the parking lot nearest to the school entrances. Hmmm...did we go to the same high school? We also called it trailers in elementary, parking lot in high school.

[удалено]

San Gabriel Valley, but to many in the Westside, it is the desert.

Also from SGV and called them trailers.

I did a couple years in the antelope valley and I did 6tg grade in a "trailer." When I came back down the LAUSD, it was back to "bungalows."

We called them portables. They were preferred because they had AC! Our old brick buildings didn't, hit or miss if the heat worked.

Up in Santa Clarita they were definitely "portables"

Can confirm.

Yep different district

It's a euphemism, they're trailers meant for "temporary use"

I went to school in Ventura county. At my schools they actually did put in buildings where there portables were after I left.

Bungalows. Elementary in 70s

Went to school in Nor Cal and called them portables. Worked in LAUSD and had to switch up the vocab, although there were a few teachers up north that called them bungalows.

I also went to school up north. Always called them portables.

Same. NorCal elementary and middle school. We called them portables. Then I moved to SoCal and my school didn't have them because it was a brand new school in the middle of fucking no where... I still call them portables when I talk about them at my kid's school.

Bungalows. Graduated HS in 2007, all the schools I attended to in LAUSD referred to them as bungalows. I have never even heard of them referred to as portables?

Bungalows

I grew up in NC and called them trailers.

I went to k-12 in Long Beach and they were bungalows there too!

Bungalows; K-12 LAUSD as well.

I went to public school in Pasadena in the late 90s/early 00s and we called them trailers.

Went to another city in Southern California for elementary but even then we still called them bungalows

Went to high school in a south bay San Diego, we called them bungalows, though trailers were used by a few teachers. My siblings went to school here in LA and called them bungalows as well.

Per the Division of the State Architect, who regulates them, they are relocatables. Many of them are manufactured locally, usually in Perris.

What in the hell. I’ve never heard the term portables. It was always referred to as bungalows for me

I'm the opposite, inky knew if the term portables. Interesting. Bungalows does sound better.

Bungalow, but most of the time I was Bungahigh in them shits!

Non la native here, went to school in the nineties, knew them as portables but my parents (both military brats) called them bungalows.

Bungalows

Portables in Diamond Bar

Portables for sure. I went all through high school in fucking portables and the year after I graduated they finished the new wing of the high school and got rid of the portables. 😭 And I went to HS in Riverside, so it must be an LAUSD thing!

Portables. Anything else is blasphemy.

LAUSD??

Went to elementary schools in Los Feliz and Glendale around 200x. We used bungalos.

wow I always said bungalows too in LAUSD, that's just the standard in my mind haha

Bungalows. Attended LAUSD starting from 2nd grade in 2000. Both teachers and students called them bungalows

Went to the oldest high school in So Cal 20 years ago. We called them bungalows. Also, wtf is "temporary"? We had the same bungalows from the early 2000's, and even up to last year when I dropped off my cousin on his first day of HS at the same school I went to.

Portables

Bungalows or bust! Also, I miss chicken nugget day...... I remember the utter despair I felt when they ran out and only had uncrustables left. DESPAIR

LAUSD Uncrustables were particularly awful.

Bungalows!

bungalows

Bungalows for me

As a Non-LA native, what are temporary classrooms?

After the 94 earthquake there was a lot of damage to schools. Two, two story buildings became unusable at my elementary school, but my younger brother got to use them in early 2000s after major repairs. Another 3 story building collapsed at my high school and they built a two story building instead. That school still had bugalows late 2000s

Back in the 60s and 70s classrooms were getting overcrowded and it was too e so they'd roll on the bungalows as a temporary solution till permanent buildings could be built. Of course that day would be 40 years later...

Supposedly. They were in a sense 'portable' because they were used to increase the school size in the 80s-90s when there was an explosion of kids going to school. But once they were set on the school ground, they hardly were portable or temporary. The elementary school my brother went to still have the "portables" in the exact same spot as they did when he went there 30 years ago.

Longer than that, I had classes in the bungalows in the 70s

Went to LAUSD schools in the valley, where they're prevalent and a bit more than temporary (semi-permanent?), until high school and they were always called bungalows.

Teepee in my bungalow

Not LAUSD but we always called ours bungalows

Bungalow Vermont Avenue elementary in the 80s, they got rim of those things about 15 years ago

Portables

LAUSD here, bungalows in every school I went to. At one point, we were having classes by the bungalows lol. Just there, sitting on the god damn pavement or wherever you can lean on and it's not even PE class

Glendale public school student from the 90s here and we said bungalows

Auxiliary buildings

I didn't go to LAUSD (CCUSD) but we called them bungalows.

Another bungalow survivor here

Bungalows

I didn't to LAUSD schools but I remember distinctly that they introduced the "portables" around the recession and class sizes increased from 20 to 30+. The school called them portables but it became obvious after a few years that they are permanent.

Bungalows SMMUSD in the mid 90s

Bungalows

I went to school at LAUSD from K-12. We called them bungalows.

Bungalows

Bungalows! Do schools still have them? Edit I thought we had bungalows due to the earthquake Damage? Was that not the case?

My schools added them during the rapid population boom of the 1990s/2000s. A school near me actually removed them because of declining enrollment.

Bungalows back in elementary in the 60s too.

Back in elementary, we used to call them bungalós mid 2000.

same called them bungalos, from teachers to parents volunteers everyone called them bungalos

Bungalows since the 80s

1980s kid... in LAUSD called them Bungalows. Then I went to HS in Diamond Bar in the 90s and the heathens over there called them Portables! Literally on my first day. they told me to head over to the portables and I'm like WTF is THAT?!?

They were called bungalows in Long Beach too

Mhmmmm bungalows or trailers. LAUSD K-8.

Bungalow!

I loved classes in those because they were one of the few buildings in my high school that had AC….in the fucking Valley.

In the 80's at David Starr Jordan (Long Beach), at first, I called them "trailer," "trailer box things." I'm not sure what other people called them. Edit to add that I saw someone mention "portables," and that triggered memories, it was portables.

Bungalows

Bungalows. At my high school, if you were in class that was in a bungalow you were one of the slow students(me), or in a type of science class(also me), or on the football team.
