Consider making a donation to help our Redwood ASB fund field trips, student recognitions, and campus wide beautification efforts for our students! Our ASB makes many experiences possible for our students and we can't do it without the support our community. In the coming weeks you will hear about our annual ASB fundraiser "Step It Up". In the meantime we also welcome any donations big or small to directly benefit our entire student body for this school year! ASB direct donations can be made online through the Redwood Store.

Join PTSA! Our goal is to have over 300 members this year. We need your help to make that happen. Let’s do it! Please join PTSA. We appreciate everything our families do for our Vikings. It truly takes a village to mold young minds, and we are grateful for the amazing team of parents supporting the Redwood Vikings!
Students will receive temporary ID cards during orientation. These will be black/white cards without the student's photo on it. Students will take their school picture on August 26th during their PE class. After this event students will all be issued one color ID card for the school year.
- Do not lose your ID card! Students need this card daily for first access into the cafeteria for nutrition and lunch. Those who forget their ID card will wait in a secondary line. We do this to help the efficiency of the cafeteria to serve all of our students in a timely manner.
- Replacement ID cards are available for $5 in the main office during the school year.
Lockers are assigned to all grade 6 students. Grade 6 locker assignments will be printed on your tentative class schedule at orientation. Grade 7 and 8 students may request a locker if desired.

Students who use lockers should never allow others to have access to their lockers. Students are prohibited from sharing lockers! Locks must always be used. Please be careful when using your locker.
