School-wide Expectations

We ask that all students, staff, and community follow our 3 school-wide expectations.

Be Safe- Be Respectful- Be Responsible

Congratulations to Ms. Abuyo, Ms. Romaneli, Ms. Mena and Ms. Elsmore’s classes for earning their second set of 10 Robo Rockstar CLASS tickets!  They have earned a popcorn party and extra recess with Mr. Soileau and Ms. Cardenas.

Congratulations to Ms. Lopez Solis, Ms. Jones and Ms. Tsutsumi’s classes for earning their first set of 10 Robo Rockstar CLASS tickets@  They have earned a popsicle party.

Traffic Safety Reminders for ADULTS

Due to safety concerns, including a traffic accident involving multiple families, PLEASE help us keep everyone safe.

When you are leaving the front parking lot, it is a RIGHT TURN only!  Please follow the posted traffic signs for the safety of our students.

The area in front of the school is a pick up/drop off ONLY zone.  Please pull all the way to the front allowing your child to exit the car independently.   If you have to get out of the driver’s seat, please park.

Please do not park or drive past “Staff Parking Only” signs.  If you are dropping off or picking up at the YMCA, you will need to park in a parking spot.

Keeping kids at home if they are sick

We are starting to see lots of students with allergies, colds, etc.  Please remember, for the safety of all students, if you child is sick they need to stay home.  If you child is sick with a COVID symptom, they must have a negative test to return to school.

Updates and Reminders

  • Thanks for a GREAT Trunk or Treat and Movie Night-  It was so great see to our community come together for food and fun!  A special thanks to our PTA and CHP for organizing this event.
  • Monday is Halloween- we will have our costume parade at 8:30.  Students are allowed to wear costume over their school clothes and will need to remove costumes after the parade.
  • Our gates open at 7:30 which gives everyone 45 minutes to drop off in the morning.  If you are dropping off after 8:05, please plan for traffic and obey all safety procedures.  Students entering campus after 8:15 are tardy and will need to get a pass from the office.
  • Forgot items will not be brought to classrooms.  This is to protect the learning environment of all students.  Please make sure your child is packed for success.

Calendar of Events:

31- Costume Parade- The parade will start at 8:30.  Costumes need to be worn over regular clothes.  Costumes will only be worn to school and during the parade.  Community is invited to attend and take pictures.  Please no blood, gore, or masks.  Boo Grams will be passed out during the day.
