Back to School Night will be on August 12th from 5:30 pm to 6:30 pm. This will allow families to see classrooms, meet teachers, and ask questions. **Masks will be required to enter classrooms.

Masks:

Students will need to come to school with a mask daily. Students will be wearing masks while in the classrooms and buildings, but are not mandated to wear them on the playground or during PE.

Water Fountains:

The water fountains have been turned back on, but students are still encouraged to bring a refillable water bottle. There are water bottle refilling stations throughout the campus. There are also hand sanitizing stations in every classroom and building as well on each of the playground.

We are happy to announce the USDA has extended the Summer Seamless meal service option through June 30, 2022. This option allows the Child Nutrition department to serve meals at no charge for ALL students. Students will have access to both breakfast and lunch meals at no charge.

Bus transportation routes will be available this school year. Due to the opening of our new Freedom Elementary School campus, routes have been updated. Students will be required to wear a mask while on the bus regardless of vaccine status. Please contact your school site for specific route information.

Applications for students in 1st – 6th grades are still available. We are happy to announce that the district's afterschool program will continue to operate in-person this year beginning on August 9th. Students will remain on campus at the conclusion of the school day through 6pm. Students will be under the supervision of a team lead from the California Teaching Fellows Foundation (CTFF) where they will receive academic support, time to work on their homework, physical fitness, and instruction in a variety of topics of interest including but not limited to: science, coding, arts, crafts, music and dancing.
