Bus: Our district does not allow students to ride different buses
for the purpose of going to other student' homes.


CAR DROP OFF/PICK UP: In the AM, please drop off your children on the sidewalk in front of the office, pulling as far forward as possible, for A and D tracks. C and D tracks will do the same in the lower drop-off on Santana Way. In the PM, should you wish to get them as they dismiss and walk to your car, you must go to our Parent Waiting Area to do so. They will be dismissed to that area if they know you'll be waiting for them. Adults may not walk directly to classrooms to pick up children. Our Parent Waiting Area is our only pick-up location on campus during dismissal. If you change the student bus or pick up procedure, please send a note to the teacher. In the event of an emergency schedule change you can call before 2pm with the new arrangements. We cannot assure delivery of messages to classrooms after 2pm.
ABSENCE FROM SCHOOL:
If your child is going to miss school for ANY reason, please call the school office at 739-5655 or send a note giving the name of your student, the student’s teacher, the reason for the absence and the day/date the student(s) will be absent. This procedure will prevent unnecessary calls to the home as all absences must be verified by our office staff for State and District Compliance.

Important Message from our Superintendent


DRESS CODE: Please review the District’s Board of Education General Dress Code, Board Policy #5332 in the Student Handbook.

Any clothing, make-up, hairstyle or wig that contributes to the substantial disruption of the orderly operation of the school is inappropriate and/or unacceptable for school attire.

No undergarments shall show.

Footwear must be worn at all times and have hard soles. Tennis shoes are most appropriate/acceptable (skate sneakers are not, however).

The following items of clothing are considered inappropriate or unacceptable for school attire: 
Bare midriffs 
Tattered clothes or pants with holes or slashes 
Unsafe jewelry or unsafe clothing such as large hoop earrings 
Cutoffs without hems 
Lack of undergarments

Other items or manner-of-wearing clothing may also be inappropriate or unacceptable according to Board Policy 5332.

All students are expected to follow the general dress code at all times. The process for compliance issues will be determined by the school site. Parents will be contacted on any given day if the dress code is not followed.


STUDENT EMERGENCY/HEALTH CARDS: Your student will receive white, yellow and blue information cards. These cards must be completed and returned to the school within the first week.

The white emergency card is retained in the office and is the information we use to release your student in the event of illness, early dismissal, or emergency situations.

The blue emergency card is retained in the health office and is used to contact parents in the event of visits to the health office for illness or other medical emergency.

The yellow emergency card is retained in the classroom with the teacher for use in the event of an earthquake or other such emergency or disaster.

It is very important these cards be kept up to date and be accurate. We need a MINIMUM of three emergency contacts within the local area to be listed on the card. This will help you and the school administration in the event of emergencies. Please contact our office if you have any changes to your cards.

ACADEMIC STANDARDS
How Do We Know What Students Need to Learn?

It is the California State Academic Standards that students are to learn during their time in each grade level. The STAR Test covers these standards during the spring testing period. To see the Standards for your child's grade, click on one of the academic standards below and then locate your child's grade. There are a total of 3,448 state standards. If a student attends school every day for 13 years, he or she has 2/3 of a day to master each standard (excluding physical education). Every moment is critical, and parent help is vital.

A Developmental/Preventative Guidance Program

An Elementary Counseling Program is an integral component of a child’s total educational program.  It is directed toward meeting the needs of all the children.

 Elementary school years set the tone for developing the knowledge, attitudes, and skills necessary for children to become healthy, competent, and confident learners.  Through a comprehensive school counseling program, the counselor works as a team with the school staff, parents, and the community to create a caring climate and atmosphere.  The elementary program uses 3 approaches with children: classroom presentations, small groups, and individual counseling.


Classroom presentations

Presentations as requested by the teacher for bullying, grief & loss, peer pressure, stress management, learning readiness, etc.

Small groups

Small groups are formed throughout the year to discuss common topics between peers.  These may include divorce, loss, social behaviors, friendships, anger management, and organization.

Individual students

Students may talk to the counselor any time they would like during the school day when appropriate. Students may meet with the counselor at the request of the parents, teachers, or administrator to discuss concerns, thoughts, and feelings which may be impeding their academic or social performance.

Ten Ways to Help with Homework

1)      Let your child know that homework is important and valuable.

2)    Set a regular time each day for homework, allow some time for a break

     after school before starting homework.

3)    Be sure your child has all essentials, i.e.; paper, pencils, books, and calculator if needed.

4)    Help your child get organized by providing a notebook, folders, and calendar.

5)    Have a quiet, clean, well-lit, comfortable place to study.

6)    Turn off distractions like television, videos and radio.

Some students work better with soft instrumental music to help with concentration. 

7)    A 15-minute session is better than one long session.  Be available to help answer questions and give direction.

8)    Spot check the homework but let your students do their own work.  Remember they are learning and mistakes are okay. This will help build responsibility within.

Responsibility = choice + consequences  

9)    Read all teacher comments daily.

10) Talk to your child’s teacher if you have concerns.  Talking to your student about the teacher does not help a difficult situation.

Be Honest, Brief, When Talking To Your Child About Serious Topics

Your child has a problem with a teacher or he had a fight with a friend.  And as a parent, you want to share your thoughts about these and other important subjects with your child.

But here’s something to remember.  It’s not only what you say, but how you say it.  If you want your child to listen to your advice, you need to know how to talk so he’ll listen. 

Here are five tips:

  1. Be honest. When your child was two, he thought you had all the answers. But today, you both know you can’t be an expert in everything.  That’s okay- -when you don’t know the answer, say so.
     
  2. Consider how much to share.  If you are getting a divorce, your child doesn’t need to know all of the details.  He just needs to know that he’ll be safe.  If you’re sick, talk about your treatment.  Spare children, especially young children, troubling details. 
     
  3. Be brief. Kids simply turn off a lecture. You’re more likely to get your point across if you can express your thoughts briefly.
     
  4. Respect your child’s view.  You don’t have to agree with your child, but you are more likely to change his mind if you talk with him, not at him.  So ask your child what he thinks about an issue.
     
  5. Don’t yell.  If you feel yourself getting angry, take a break.  Talking louder won’t help you persuade your child that you’re right.
