Our staff will be calling you soon if you have not completed the school funding form this year.

When families complete the School Funding Form, it helps our schools support students. The information on this form helps schools receive state and federal funding for: classroom materials, field trips and enrichment activities, academic support and intervention services, and additional staff to help students and families. Only one form is needed for each family. All information is confidential and is only used by the school district. It will not be shared with outside agencies. Forms that are incomplete or filled out incorrectly will be returned for correction.

See the El Camino "Breaking News" issues posted around school for upcoming highlights and information for students.

Students who are parking a vehicle on campus need to pick up a parking registration form from the VP office or Principal's office.

Campus monitors will begin checking for parking passes after the Labor Day weekend so be sure to take care of this in the next 3 weeks.
