Vice Principal Nichols: we are hosting a whole school rally from 1:55 PM–2:55 PM in Shea Center. If you need to pick up your student early, please give the office advanced notice so we can prepare your student for you. Without advanced notice and barring an emergency please avoid picking up your student between 1:55 PM and 3 PM dismissal bell.
Last day: looking to collect all types of gently loved sports or athletic wear for all children sizes up to adult small size (please NO shoes, cleats), gear such as deflated balls, cups, gloves, hats, caps. No winter clothes please. Collection bins located in the lobby outside the auditorium.
Join our mission in supporting young children in the Philippines! These children enjoy playing sports wherever and whenever they can. Donating your gently loved jerseys or gear would bring them happiness, and lots of joy.

Every year, California students take several statewide tests. When combined with other measures such as grades, class work, and teacher observations, these tests give families and teachers a more complete picture of their child’s learning. You can use the results to identify where your child is doing well and where they might need more support.
Your child may take one or more of the following California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress (CAASPP), English Language Proficiency Assessments for California (ELPAC), and Physical Fitness Test assessments. Pursuant to California Education Code Section 60615, parents and guardians may annually submit to the school a written request to excuse their child from any or all of the CAASPP assessments. This exemption does not exist for the ELPAC or Physical Fitness Test.
