We hope to see many grade 6 students and families onTuesday, November 3rd in the Redwood Gym.

This year grade 6 students participcate in Outdoor School over two sessions in the end of January and first week of February. Students are assigned their session based on their SCIENCE class. We cannot accommodate requests to change your assigned week. Students who do not participate in Outdoor School will attend school during normal school hours. Additional information can be found on the CVUSD outdoor school webpage.
