This Month at ATP

We are excited to announce that ATP is now taking orders for school t-shirts! Students that are new to ATP this year will receive a free t-shirt. If parents or other family/friends would like to order their own shirt, the cost is $12 payable by cash or check. Checks should be made out to “ATP ASB”. Please return the attached order form with payment, by Wednesday, October 21, 2026 to get your shirt order placed. Copies of the order form are also available in the school office. If you have any questions, please contact Sue in the school office at 760.901.7170.

Thank you for your support of ATP.

Construction crews are working diligently on the new ATP classrooms at Surfside Educational Academy. We do not currently have a move-in date, but we are hoping it will be in the next few months. As we get closer to moving, we will plan a site tour for parents. We will keep you updated as construction continues.

We are pleased to announce that Arts Education Connection San Diego has returned to our campus for art lessons. On Wednesday, Sep 16, students began their one-hour, weekly art lesson from a local artist. Lessons are paid for with funds from Proposition 28.

Getting lost is scary and can be dangerous. Especially for someone living with dementia, autism, or other developmental disabilities. Ask yourself: Could your loved one communicate their name and address if they were lost? If the answer is no, or may change at some point, consider enrolling in the Take Me Home program. The Take Me Home program is a safety net for the future, so you can have peace of mind today. This information is confidential and can only be accessed by law enforcement in an emergency. You can sign your loved one up for the Take Me Home program by contacting your local Crime Prevention Specialist, or by clicking the registration link below.

San Diego County is proud to offer the Blue Envelope Program. The program is designed to promote inclusivity and serve as an enhanced communication awareness tool between law enforcement and community members diagnosed with a condition or disability such as Autism Spectrum Disorder, dementia, anxiety or other conditions that might require additional accommodations or awareness during a law enforcement interaction.

The program was designed in collaboration between the San Diego County Sheriff's Office, community organizations, the San Diego County Police Chiefs' and Sheriff's Association and the San Diego County Board of Supervisors.

The Blue Envelope Program works by allowing an individual to readily display the Blue Envelope logo or present a Blue Envelope upon contact with law enforcement or other community service personnel. The Blue Envelope-branded products can contain the individual's identification, contact information or pertinent vehicle operating documents such as the vehicle registration and proof of insurance.

The Blue Envelope Program does not have a registry component; therefore, the program is voluntary and self-implemented.
