Family Reminders
TK & Kinder Parents: Please drop students off on the playground and leave after a quick “goodbye” or “see you later.” This helps foster independence and gives students the space to play comfortably.
We kindly ask that you do not wait in the hallways or peek in the classroom windows which will also support their independence.
All Families: When the 8:55 a.m. bell rings, please make your way to the exits. We ask that there be no lingering in the hallways or on the playground.
Reminder: Student restrooms are for students only in order to protect the privacy of all children. If you need to assist your child, please come to the office first, and we will direct you to the appropriate restroom to use.
With Appreciation,
Dr. Dominguez

Dear Families,
Students are more than welcome to ride their bikes or scooters to school! It’s a great way to stay active and enjoy the fresh air. However, we want to ensure everyone stays safe, so here are a few important reminders:
✔️ Walk your bike or scooter when entering and leaving campus.
✔️ Park bikes and scooters at the bike racks located at our front entrance on Josie Ave.
✔️ Remember to wear a helmet and follow all traffic safety rules.
Thank you for helping us keep our school a safe and welcoming place for everyone! 🚴♂️💙
