There is no school Monday, Nov. 11th.
For our students who ride the bus from the Almond Ridge Park neighborhood, the bus service has temporarily stopped due to a lack of staffing. AUSD is hoping to hire more bus drivers. Once drivers have been hired, the bus service will resume. Sorry for any inconvenience this will cause for our families.
Please view the attached flyers about the high school selection information nights happening this week.
Please view the attached flyers from our Lincoln Center and about our clothing closet.
Reminder that there is no school tomorrow, Friday 11/1 due to the AUSD Staff Development Day. For those of you celebrating Halloween, have a fun and safe night. Enjoy your 3-day weekend and see you on Monday, 11/4

To keep the flow of traffic going:
Do not park or leave your car unattended in the loading zones along the school curb, use a parking space. Pull up when staff asks. K-3 pick-up is at the loop. 4-8 pick-up is in front of the school, do not block the K-3 loop area. Thank you for your cooperation.
Due to the projected heat, Wednesday’s Running Club will take place before school at 7:40 instead of after school. Reminder that, we are a closed campus. If families would like to watch their student during Running Club, the viewing area is along the chain link fence on Live Oak Ave. not inside campus.
Progress Reports went home with all students. If your student does not have one, please contact your student's teacher.
