BLOCK G DUE

Students who earn Block G exemplify the spirit of Garfield by showing their excellent time management skills, ambition, and attention to all of their responsibilities. For this reason, students are expected to turn in their Block G forms on time. No late submissions will be accepted! Forms are available on the Garfield website under the Resources tab.

On Friday, May 30th Garfield will dismiss at 12:35 due to the State Track Meet at Buchanan's Veteran's Memorial Stadium. All staff must leave campus at 12:35 as well, so please make your after school care provider aware of this change. Also, on Friday, June 6th, the last day of school, we will dismiss at 1:20.

Please take a moment to check your Parent Connect account to confirm that your e-mail address is correct. Garfield uses your email address in Parent Connect to email information, so it is important that it is correct. Also, CUSD’s Annual Information Update will begin in July, and instructions will be sent to the e-mail address on your Parent Connect account.

The state testing window this year is May 5-30. All students grades 3-6 in elementary across California will participate in these tests and it is our students opportunity to show how much they have learned. We're very excited about the progress our Cubs have made in the 24-25 school year!

What to expect: All students will take the English language arts (ELA) and math tests online. Additionally, 5th grade will take a science test. Your child's teacher will notify students and parents of their specific test schedule.

How can you help? We value the partnership with our parent community throughout the school year and hope you can reinforce the following concepts for test preparation at home.

• Come rested, relaxed, and ready
• Eat a good breakfast
• Take your time and stay focused
• Think positive thoughts!

Parents: Please do not schedule any appointments on a test day. If your child comes in late to a testing session, they will not be able to join their class and will have to take the test on a make up day. Please check the schedule your teacher provides for your specific dates.

Garfield’s Lost & Found is overflowing! Please encourage your student to stop by and take a look for any lost items. All unclaimed items will be donated on June 6.

New student registration is online at www.cusd.com, followed by an appointment at the school. The student’s birth certificate, immunization records, and proof of residency in the Garfield area must all be uploaded into the online registration form prior to coming to school for your registration appointment. Registration is now open and may be accessed on the CUSD website home page. After completion of the online portion, please contact our office to schedule an appointment with our registrar to complete registration for your student. Classroom placement will be at random, not by the date and time registration is completed.

To be eligible for kindergarten for the 25-26 school year, your child must reach 5 years of age on or before Sept. 1, 2025. To be eligible for Transitional Kindergarten, your student must turn 4 by Sept. 1, 2025. Please note that you must live in the CUSD defined Garfield area to attend school at Garfield. You may confirm this on the CUSD website. Only a parent or legal guardian may register a child for school. If you are currently a custodian of a child or a foster parent, please contact the CUSD office of Student Services and School Attendance at 327-9200 for assistance.
