Matador Weekly Update

Hello Matadors,

Our hallways have transitioned from the nervous energy of the first few days of school to a productive routine with academic expectations and extracurricular activities.

I strongly believe that a student's success is a collaborative effort between home and school. There are many ways to be involved this month including parent meetings, sporting events, and supporting your student in their academic efforts.

I look forward to seeing you at our Back-to-School Night on September 10. This evening is a great chance for you to see our school and meet our amazing teachers.

Thank you for all you do for your students here at Mira Loma.

Go Matadors!

Dr. Carrie Jackson

Hello Matador families! The Mira Loma PO (Parent Organization) is excited to begin our Annual Campaign soon to support our school. Donate here: https://miralomaibpo.square.site and keep an eye out for more information in your email.

The College and Career Center at Mira Loma is in the A-Building, near the Counseling Office.

College visits in the College and Career Center will begin September 1st. Watch for informational emails from Mrs. Lentz. You can also find the visiting colleges on Naviance. Please see Mrs. Lentz if you have any questions.

We are so excited for the locker room renovation project. Each student will have their own locker which will fit a backpack and/or athletic bag. Padlocks are being ordered and issued to each student. Our goal is to have locker room access after Labor Day weekend. Stay tuned. . .

Students-Come support Mira Loma Sports!

ASB Cards are on sale at the finance office for $40. If a student has an ASB Card, they can get into all of the Mira Loma home games for any sporting event. Students can also purchase a Sports Punch Pass for $20. This will be a discounted pass that will allow student entry into 10 Mira Loma sporting events.

Please make sure you are using the designated student drop off area in the student parking lot. The entrance for student drop off is on Becerra Way. Please do not drop off students on Edison Avenue or Norris Avenue. CHP and Safe Schools will be patrolling this area. Thank you for your cooperation!

To clear absences, please call 916-971-7972 or email miralomaabsence@sanjuan.edu.

When reporting absences/tardies, it is important to include your child's six-digit student ID number along with their first and last name. This will help ensure accurate identification. Parents must clear absences within 5 school days. Absences not cleared within 5 school days will be recorded as a Cut.

You can clear full day absences through the parent portal.

Excused tardies such as verified medical appointments, late bus, SARB, DMV (must provide a receipt) or illness are excusable reasons for tardies. Please bring in a verification note if possible.

To request an early dismissal, please call 916-971-7459

Parent/Guardians must contact the Attendance Office at least 30 minutes prior to an early dismissal. Failure to do so may result in a long wait time. Dismissal slips are not sent to classrooms 30 minutes prior to the end of the school day. Early dismissals are not accepted via email or Parent Portal. Parent portal is for clearing full day absences.
