Cater Tots will no longer serve Riverside County due to the small number of customers they have out here.  FYI Parents:  For the time being, no hot lunch is implemented to replace Cater Tots.

Your child brought home a flyer with information about the hot lunches, which cost $3.75/day/child.  These are healthy but child-friendly meals.  However, we need at least 25 children ordering lunches to begin this service.  Please call us in the office if you are interested, or wish more information!

Class Librarians and P.E. helpers needed:  Please let your child’s teacher know if you could help with P.E. or help in the Library during the day. 

Lunch Monitors needed, 11:00 A.M. TO 12:30 P.M.  please call the school office for more information.  Volunteers must be fingerprinted and have taken the “Safe Environment” training.  Safe Environment training can be done online in the comfort of your home.

QUESTION OF THE YEAR:  Why do my children have to sign in each day  before going to their after school classes?  This is part of security check in case of an emergency.  We will know that all children are accounted for.

Remember, we have begun a new sign out and pick up procedure for students that are involved in any extra-curricular program.

Those students will go directly to extended care at the 2:30 pm bell and sign in. At the 2:45 pm bell, when the teacher/moderators for each activity are ready, they will close the door on the parking lot side of the room and open the doors on the playground side for the students that will attend a particular activity in that class.

When the activity is finished, all students must then go back to extended care, sign in and wait for parents to sign them out. No students may be dismissed from the parking lot side. There is no extended day charge from 2:30 – 2:45 pm. Billing begins at 2:45 pm. This is for you children’s safety. In case of an emergency we will know where to find your child.

This is part of security check in case of an emergency.  We will know that all children are accounted for.

Lots of food is handed out during these tough economic times, so please continue to donate to our pantry. Just keep a count and give it to your student's teacher.
