Check out this month’s featured workshop to explore different topics and information to learn about the role of Artificial Intelligence(AI) in school and student learning.

You can donate any items that your student think will be a hit at the student store. The amazon wish list is just suggestions!

Would you like to volunteer in the classroom or on field trips? We are recommending that you do it now as the process takes 2-6 weeks to be finalized. You will only need to do this process once while you are in the San Juan District.

Go to www.sanjuan.edu/volunteer

Click on the Volunteer Verification Button

Fill out the information and submit

The District will reach out with the additional steps that you may need to do such as Fingerprinting.

Please remember that the process takes 2-6 weeks after fingerprinting. You cannot volunteer until you have been fingerprinted and cleared so the sooner the better!

If you have been fingerprinted with San Juan Unified School District, you do not have to do it again. It is valid as long as you have students in a San Juan Unified School. If we are notified of any changes to your status, we will reach out to you.

All Volunteers Must Sign in At the Office!

We would like to remind families about our absence policy's. You can always find this information in our Family Handbook on our website: https://coyle.sanjuan.edu/our-school/school-family-handbook

If you have any questions, please reach out to the front office by replying to this email, calling 916-979-8012 or send a message via Talking Points. We are happy to help!

IN CASE OF AN ABSENCE (Less than 5 days)

Please notify the school office if your child is going to be absent as soon as possible. To do so, call the attendance phone number,916-979-8012 option 2 OR email coyleabsence@sanjuan.edu OR send a message via Talking Points to report the absence. State the student's name, teacher, date, and reason for the absence. We truly appreciate your call or email by the morning of the absence.

INDEPENDENT STUDY-HOME INSTRUCTION (Short Term)

In the event that your child will not attend school for an extended period of time, please contact the school attendance clerk ten (10) school days before your child's absences to schedule his/her independent study/home instruction program. An independent study may only be approved for a period of more than 5 days and up to 15 days. (Students that miss school for any length of time for reasons other than illness will be marked as “unexcused” absences without the independent study contract.)

Absent more than 16 days

If a student is going to be out more than 16 days without a medical note, the student will be dropped from our enrollment. Once you return, you will need to re-enroll with San Juan Central before you can return to School.

This year we have new late drop off and pick up procedures. Please see below and let us know if you have any questions.

If your student arrives after 7:45am, they will need to come to the office for a tardy clock, the gates will be locked. Students will then enter the school through the door in the nurses room.

If students are on campus but are not in their classrooms at 7:45, they will be marked absent and will need to come to the office to get their attendance changed to a tardy.

Students are to be picked up within 15 minutes of the bell ringing. After 15 minutes, students will be brought into the office to call for their ride. Whoever is picking the student up will need to come to the office to sign the student out.

M,T,W,F - Pick up by 2:30pm

Th - Pick up by 1:15pm

In our ongoing mission to make dismissal smoother, safer, and just a little less like a scene from a traffic jam movie, we’re implementing a small change with a big impact:

Effective immediately, left turns out of the school parking lot will not be permitted during dismissal time.

(Yes, your GPS might be upset, but your fellow drivers will thank you!)

You’re still welcome to make a left turn during other parts of the school day—just not during that high-traffic window when we're all racing the clock.

We appreciate your understanding and cooperation as we work to keep the flow moving and the horns honking to a minimum. Think of it as turning right… in the right direction!

Thank you for helping us keep dismissal safe and (mostly) sane.

Friendly reminder: Please don’t double-park and abandon your vehicle during pick-up. When you do, traffic gets stuck, kids can’t get through safely, and the rest of us wonder if your car has been left behind as modern art. If you need to walk up, please use a designated parking spot—your fellow parents (and our traffic flow) will thank you!

It is important to make sure your contacts and list of people okay to pick up your student early or in case of an emergency is up to date. You can update this in Parent Portal or by contacting the Coyle Office.

The office does check ID's when the person picking up a student in not known to the office. If they are not listed as one of your contacts or emergency contacts we will need permission from the Parent/Guardian before we allow the student to leave campus with that person.

If you have any concerns or any court paperwork, make sure you give it to the the office to keep on file.

If you have moved, we need you to update your address.

To update your address click on the link below and provide the information requested.

A designated school employee may administer medication during the school hours only upon written request of both the physician and parent(s) or guardian, detailing the method, amount, and time the medication is to be taken.

Medication will be administered only to students whose parent and physician deem it necessary for potentially life-threatening medical conditions or for those who need medication administered during the school day in order to interact appropriately at school.

Authorization forms for medication are available to download below, or at each school office. A new form must be completed before the start of each school year. Medications must be brought to the school office in their original container.
