Our vision is to promote academic excellence in a respectful, caring community where students are prepared to be critical thinkers and lifelong learners.
Dismissal Safety
In an effort to keep our dismissal process running safely please keep in mind the following:
School dismisses Monday at 2:30 and Tuesday-Friday at 3:15, please do not begin the line early, wait until students are dismissed. This is causing cars to back up on California. If you arrive before school is dismissed park in a parking spot and walk to the playground to pick up your child(ren).
If you are able, please park your vehicle in a parking spot in the Northeast parking lot (facing the Delta) and walk to the playground to get your child(ren). Make sure when you are crossing traffic you have your child(ren) close by you as there is traffic flow you need to cross.
If you are in line to pick up, pull all the way up, we will load the first cars, send them off and then have cars pull up and stop to load the next group of students.
Please stay off phones while waiting in line, this will help with safety and to keep cars moving.
California is an emergency route to the hospital and we want to make every effort to keep this area clear.
