Wear Orange for Unity Week - 10/19-22

In your school, community, or online, wake up your world to bullying prevention! Color it ORANGE during Unity Week October 19-22. 

We want you and everyone in your community – face-to-face and online – to learn how to create safer schools, so join us and students across the world to make everything ORANGE! Make your whole world ORANGE on Unity Day and send the message everywhere that no one deserves to be bullied.

Drop-off and pick-up reminders for parents...

• If you are parking, please walk your child to a gate. If you’d prefer to stay in your car, please utilize our back lot drop off option. Students are not to walk across the street unaccompanied, regardless of age.

• Parents should do a quick drop off and remain outside of classrooms. If you need to enter to speak with a teacher, a mask must be worn.

Daily Engagement Tracking

Due to new legislation, the school needs to track student engagement on a daily basis. We will be doing this through a Google Form, called a “Learning Engagement Record.” Your teacher of record will be sending this form to you weekly. 

You will simply click YES or NO for each day and submit the form once per week. Completing the form will take less than one minute. 

This is something that has to be done on a weekly basis and is not optional. 

Thank you for your help with this!

Medication Policy for 2021-22 School Year

The California Department of Education requires that a signed doctor's note be provided to your child's school for any student medications which are kept on campus or carried by students while they are on campus. Please note that ANY medication, including over-the-counter medications such as Tylenol and cough drops, MUST have a signed doctor's note to be allowed on campus for student safety. If your student travels on any overnight class trips, a signed medication form will be required for any medication, even over-the-counter 

CLICK HERE to print the required medication form. 

Please note: We cannot accept any medication form for the 2021-2022 school year if it is dated before July 1, 2021. All forms must be signed & dated by your doctor after this date to be active for the new school year. 

Virtual Calm Room

The counseling team has developed a Virtual Calm Room as a resource for our school community. Sometimes life is challenging and we experience distress. This Virtual Calm Room was created to serve as a break and to help you find new ways to identify & manage strong emotions and build your resilience. These resources will hopefully allow you to reset back to a calm state of mind and body.

We encourage you to make it a priority to care for yourself in healthy ways. Not all coping strategies will feel right so we encourage you to explore some and find what works for YOU!
