This week during conferences, your Teacher will give you a permission slip to have your student(s) be part of the Dental Screening that will be on December 8th.

PS & 1st - 5th Grades

If you would like your student(s) to be screened, please sign the form.

If you do not want your student(s) you do not have to fill out the form.

TK & Kinder Students

In 2018, Senate Bill 379 (SB 379) passed that allows schools to use passive consent for Kindergarten Oral Health Assessments (KOHA) for kindergarten students and was recently expanded to include transitional kindergarten students.

· Passive consent requires parents to notify, in writing, if they do NOT want their child to receive an assessment.

· Early Smiles Sacramento will be providing dental screenings and completing the KOHA form for transitional kindergarten and kindergartener students at Coyle Ave. on Monday 12/8/25. If you want your child to participate in the "FREE" Dental Screenings for his/her grade, NO further action is required.

· If you want your child to receive a "FREE" Dental Screening, Fluoride Varnish Treatment (teeth vitamins), and help establishing your student with a dentist, please fill out the Early Smiles Sacramento consent form that was sent home with your student.

· If you do not want your student to participate in the "FREE" Dental Screening, please let your teacher know, in writing, before the screening date.

There are opportunities to visit middle schools before Open Enrollment to see if another school would be a good fit for your student.

Will Rogers - 12/3 5-7:30pm

If you have moved, we need you to update your address.

Coyle Student Store started last week! We have created a wish list of items that we would like for our students. Students earn Cougar Cash and in turn earn House points!

Would you like to volunteer in the classroom or on field trips? We are recommending that you do it now as the process takes 2-6 weeks to be finalized. You will only need to do this process once while you are in the San Juan District.

Go to www.sanjuan.edu/volunteer

Click on the Volunteer Verification Button

Fill out the information and submit

The District will reach out with the additional steps that you may need to do such as Fingerprinting.

Please remember that the process takes 2-6 weeks after fingerprinting. You cannot volunteer until you have been fingerprinted and cleared so the sooner the better!

If you have been fingerprinted with San Juan Unified School District, you do not have to do it again. It is valid as long as you have students in a San Juan Unified School. If we are notified of any changes to your status, we will reach out to you.

All Volunteers Must Sign in At the Office!

This year we have new late drop off and pick up procedures. Please see below and let us know if you have any questions.

If your student arrives after 7:45am, they will need to come to the office for a tardy clock, the gates will be locked. Students will then enter the school through the door in the nurses room.

If students are on campus but are not in their classrooms at 7:45, they will be marked absent and will need to come to the office to get their attendance changed to a tardy.

Students are to be picked up within 15 minutes of the bell ringing. After 15 minutes, students will be brought into the office to call for their ride. Whoever is picking the student up will need to come to the office to sign the student out.

M,T,W,F - Pick up by 2:30pm

Th - Pick up by 1:15pm

In our ongoing mission to make dismissal smoother, safer, and just a little less like a scene from a traffic jam movie, we’re implementing a small change with a big impact:

Effective immediately, left turns out of the school parking lot will not be permitted during dismissal time.

(Yes, your GPS might be upset, but your fellow drivers will thank you!)

You’re still welcome to make a left turn during other parts of the school day—just not during that high-traffic window when we're all racing the clock.

We appreciate your understanding and cooperation as we work to keep the flow moving and the horns honking to a minimum. Think of it as turning right… in the right direction!

Thank you for helping us keep dismissal safe and (mostly) sane.

Friendly reminder: Please don’t double-park and abandon your vehicle during pick-up. When you do, traffic gets stuck, kids can’t get through safely, and the rest of us wonder if your car has been left behind as modern art. If you need to walk up, please use a designated parking spot—your fellow parents (and our traffic flow) will thank you!

A designated school employee may administer medication during the school hours only upon written request of both the physician and parent(s) or guardian, detailing the method, amount, and time the medication is to be taken.

Medication will be administered only to students whose parent and physician deem it necessary for potentially life-threatening medical conditions or for those who need medication administered during the school day in order to interact appropriately at school.

Authorization forms for medication are available to download below, or at each school office. A new form must be completed before the start of each school year. Medications must be brought to the school office in their original container.
