No School on Monday due to the MLK Jr. Holiday

School Wide Expectations

Be Safe

Be Respectful

Be Responsible

  • Congratulations to Ms. Bromley’s class for winning the Golden Cleat Award!
  • Congratulations to Ms. Isbell’s and Ms. Flores’s classes for earning 20 tickets!  They will receive a popsicle party.
  • Congratulations to Ms. Lopez Solis’s, Ms. Bromley’s, Ms. Sanchez’s and Ms. Buenaventura’s classes for having perfect attendance all week!

General Reminders/Updates

  • Please make sure to put your child’s name on any jackets, lunch boxes, water bottles, etc.
  • Now that we are back in session, I would like to remind everyone to follow the traffic rules for the safety of our students.
  • Please do not drop off in the bus loop.  This area is reserved for the safety of our busses and all of our students entering through the back gate.  If you are dropping off by vehicle, use the front of the school.
  • Please pull all the way forward when dropping off and picking up students in front of the school.  We ask that our adults be good role models and follow the posted traffic patterns to keep everyone safe.
  • Mr. Soileau and Ms. Cardenas do not see messages sent through Dojo.  The best way to communicate with administration is a phone call or email.
  • After school LEAD clubs start on Tuesday, January 16.  Students need to report to the lunch arbor for snacks while waiting for their teachers.

Campus Clinic

I’m excited to let you know that as you drop off your child you will see a new Campus Clinic banner hanging up in front of the office.  Campus Clinic is now offering additional services at our school such as healthcare, mental wellness, and flu testing onsite at Camarena Elementary.  To learn more or to sign up please hold your phone camera up to the QR code on the banner and click the link that appears.  I hope everyone will consider enrolling their children in these healthcare services.
