CAMP INVENTION: Sign ups happening now!
Many of us have been impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic and the health and safety of our students has been the top priority as we face this new challenge.
Due to social distancing restrictions our Camp Invention program will not be able to take place at Coastal Academy this summer.
However, I am pleased to let you know your student will still experience the all new Elevate program through distance learning during the National Inventors Hall of Fame: Camp Invention Connect program. This unique hands-on experience will take place during the week of June 22nd -26th and will be facilitated by master educators from the National Inventors Hall of Fame.
These dates are the week after the original date time. If this new time doesn't work for you, there is also an option for the week of July 20th-24th.
You will be able to sign up for the camp up until the day it starts. Select the flyer on the left-hand side for details.
Camp Invention Connect balances virtual collaboration with independent, hands-on exploration. That means screen time and the need for parental involvement are kept to a minimum, while imagination, inspiration and hands-on creativity are unlimited.
Participants in our virtual camp experience will:
* Enjoy our all-new program, Elevate, on a digital platform that can be accessed from home.
* Build confidence as they virtually collaborate with friends to complete exciting challenges.
* Receive real-time guidance and feedback.
* Engage in hands-on STEM activities infused with lessons from world-changing inventors.
* Learn the value of perseverance, creativity and ingenuity.
We hope that you will stay connected with us and give your children something to look forward to! Please contact Customer Relations at the National Inventors Hall of Fame at 800.968.4332 if you have questions or additional needs. You will be receiving a phone call from Customer Relations sometime next week with more information.

Dear Families,
The Box Tops for Education program is changing the way we can earn cash for our school! Over the summer, participating brands have begun to change their packaging from the traditional Box Tops clip to the new Box Tops label. Going forward, instead of clipping from packages and checking expiration dates, all Box Tops will be earned digitally by scanning your receipt. The Box Tops for Education team has worked hard to build a NEW-and-improved, user-friendly Box Tops mobile app, available now. The new app features state-of-the-art technology that allows you to scan your store receipt, find participating products and instantly add Box Tops to our school's earnings online.
If you have any questions, please contact our Box Tops Parent volunteer:
Sarah Ellis
Phone: 760-828-7591
Email: sellis0711@gmail.com

Please follow the arrows and sign to our parking lot. We are the second lot as you drive in. The first lot is for the Church and Preschool only. We want to be respectful of our neighbors, so please park in our lot only.
There is no drop off in the church parking lot. For security of our kids, we need to drop them off in our parking lot or directly to our office. This is especially important for our K-2 classrooms on the first level. They must go to the office and be walked to class if they are late.
Thank you for following our parking policies!
School Drop Off Traffic Flow Diagram
School Pick Up Traffic Flow Diagram
Drop off is from 8:30 - 8:45 am.
We will meet in the gym for our all school assembly from 8:45 - 9:00 am. All family and friends are welcome at our morning assembly. All kids will follow their teacher to their first morning class at 9:00 am.
Late arrivals will need to check in at the office. Office Staff will walk students to their class.
Pick up is at 3:00 pm for K-2nd and 3:30 pm for 3-8th.
Younger siblings waiting for older ones will be supervised on the playground until the 3:30 pm pick up.
We have two lines of traffic that come into the pickup area.
At book pick up, you will receive a placard with your last name to display in your car window.
Last names beginning with A-K are on the playground lane (inner right lane) and L-Z are on the parking lot lane (left lane). Signs will be posted to help with traffic flow. The first few weeks will be slower as we learn to recognize cars. Please be patient as we work this out. Last year we were able to get everyone in and out within 10 minutes.
Alternate Pick Up - Please complete this form and bring to our front office if your child(ren) will be picked up by someone other than a parent or guardian
Medication Form - 2019-20 Medication Form will now require a doctors signature for ANY medication
Household Information Update - Please return this form to the office with any new information so we can update our records. If you change your residential address, we will need a current proof of residence showing the new address.
The California Department of Education has requirements for the way schools handle student medications, and because of that, all TCA schools will put into effect the following medication policy for the 2019-2020 school year.
Per Education Code 49423 & 49423.1, any medication required to be taken during school hours, whether prescribed or over-the-counter, must have a doctor's signature, name of the medication, dosage, schedule, and method of delivery . We also must have a written statement from the parent indicating the desire to have the school assist the student with the medication per the doctor's order. Even if your student will be carrying their medication with them, we still have to have a signed form from the doctor, from the student stating they understand how to take the medication, and signed approval from the parent.
We will no longer be able to administer any type of medication (not even Tylenol or Ibuprofen) without a doctor's signature, even if it is only a one-time situation. We will also no longer be able to accept any loose medication. All medication must be in the original container.
We know this might be inconvenient, but it is really for the safety of the students. Since we do not have licensed nurses on site, these changes are being made to allow safe delivery of medication and predictable outcomes for students who are assisted by unlicensed personnel. We are receiving annual training by the school nurse to deliver medications safely. Any medication requiring extra skill for delivery will be communicated to the school nurse who will then set up training with selected staff.
If your child will need to have medication available in the office next school year, you can pick up one of the new medication forms ,which has a spot for your doctor's signature, in the front office or download the form here.
Please note, this new form is only good for one year and should not be dated before July 1st, 2019.
