Per LAUSD policy, students are expected to be in school 96% of the the school year and should not miss more than seven (7) days of school for the ENTIRE year. Please be sure that your child arrives to school by 8:10 to ensure they have time to make it to school on time. Our first class of the day will begin at 8:25 am and dismissal will be at 3:16 pm.
This year we have added a few additional shortened days for students starting with Friday, September 13th when students will be dismissed at 2:15 pm. A schedule with all important dates will be home in the first day of school packet in the white envelope given to students on Monday the 12th.
