Dear Coastal Academy Families:
We are enjoying a wonderful welcome back week! Thank you for your partnership in this educational journey!
I want to highlight an essential aspect of our school’s safety plan and our promise to the City of Oceanside. To build our beautiful school, we agreed to enforce specific traffic flow routes and drop-off and pick-up rules. We need your help and patience!
KNOW the RULES - FOLLOW the RULES - HONOR our Community
Knowing and following rules eases frustrations and keeps us safe. Thank you in advance for supporting our team as we enforce the rules.
Please visit this Parking & Traffic Flow Information Page.
Please use RIGHT turns when turning onto and leaving our school street (Calle Platino):
Turn RIGHT onto Calle Platino from Avenida del Oro (no left turn onto our street from the main cross-street) during peak hours.
Turn RIGHT onto Avenida del Oro from Calle Platino (no left turn onto the cross street) during peak hours.
Turning left onto Calle Platino from Avenida del Oro cuts the line of parents who are following the rules and goes against our agreement to be good neighbors.
This pattern was designed to prevent traffic from backing up and to be good neighbors. If we do not adhere to the City of Oceanside’s requirements, it can jeopardize our school and charter. Please work with us by knowing and following these rules.
We are in this together, and we thank you in advance for your cooperation. Let’s keep our school safe and friendly!
We look forward to a fantastic school year together,
Marcy Cashin, Principal
As we begin the school year, we'd like to remind families of a few important procedures to help keep our campus safe and traffic flowing smoothly.
Beginning at 2:00 p.m., our afternoon pick-up line begins to form and remains in place until almost 3:00 p.m. If you need to pick up your student early and would like to avoid waiting in the pick-up line, please plan to arrive before 2:00 p.m. or park in the Monterey parking lot and walk down to the front office.
For student safety, a parent or authorized adult must come into the front office to sign their student out. Please bring a valid photo ID. We are unable to call a student out of class until the parent has arrived, presented their ID, and completed the sign-out process.
To help keep traffic moving efficiently and safely for everyone, during peak drop-off and pick-up times when staff members are outside assisting students, please pull all the way forward before stopping. This allows us to load and unload multiple vehicles at once and helps reduce wait times for all families.
During off-peak times, when staff are no longer outside directing traffic, it is perfectly fine to drop off or pick up your student in front of the lobby doors.
If you have signed and submitted a Walk-Off permission form for your student, please review the following procedures with them:
Students may only use their Walk-Off permissions when their scheduled school day has ended. A/B/M Track students and C Track students whose school day ends at 2:45 p.m. should follow the End-of-Day Walk-Off procedures below. C Track students whose individual schedule ends before 2:45 p.m. should instead check out at the Security Desk by the front doors before leaving campus. Walk-Off permissions do not allow students to leave before their scheduled school day ends.
For students whose school day ends at 2:45 p.m., students with Walk-Off permissions should report to the fountain and wait for a staff member to sign them off. Once they have been signed off, students will walk together with staff to the crosswalk before continuing to their designated destination. Students should not leave class and walk directly off campus or leave campus without checking in with the appropriate staff member first.
Walk-Off permissions allow your student to leave campus without waiting in the afternoon pick-up line, but they must still follow the appropriate Walk-Off procedure based on when their school day ends. These steps help us keep track of students and ensure everyone leaves campus safely.
Thank you for your partnership in helping us keep arrival and dismissal safe and efficient for our entire school community!
We are inviting any C-Track parents who are interested in learning more about navigating Schoology, preparing for their Unit 1 Conference Meeting, or have general questions about C-Track to join us for a Parent Support Meeting on the following dates: 9/21, 9/28, and 10/5 from 10:30 -11:30 in Rm 205.

Dear Coastal Families,
Throughout the summer, we decided to launch a project to bring some new life to our sensory room! The goal of this project is to foster a space where students can utilize regulation skills to promote positive academic, social and emotional outcomes. With these tools and activities, all students can regulate their bodies and brains, reducing stress, and leading to increased focus and time spent in the classroom. Let’s make something very special happen for our kids! You can support our project at the following link.

Love the flexibility of homeschooling, but wish you had a little more support?
The Classical Academies Virtual Program gives students in grades 1–5 the benefits of homeschooling with live instruction and support from credentialed teachers.
Students participate in live virtual classes two days a week, where teachers guide them through much of their core academic content. On the remaining three days, parents continue learning at home using curriculum provided by The Classical Academies.
It’s a great way to lighten the teaching load for parents while keeping the flexibility and family involvement that make homeschooling so valuable.
Students can also enjoy park days, field trips, clubs, enrichment activities, and other opportunities to connect with the Classical Academies community.
Now enrolling! Learn more by watching our Virtual Program overview.
For more information or to see if the program is a good fit for your student, contact virtual@classicalacademy.com.
