Parking Lot Protocol
For safety reasons the parking lot is closed to vehicular traffic before and after school. We encourage students to walk or bike with friends to and from school.  Students in 3rd grade and up may bike to school, but must wear a helmet and have a working lock.  Staff members will be on duty to assist students to reach their classrooms safely. We appreciate your patience and cooperation.

Absences from School
Please call the absence line (949) 936-5701 each day your student is absent from school.  The absence line is available 7 days a week, 24 hours a day.  Leave a message with your student's name, teacher, and reason for absence. Recently we have been receiving many calls on lines other than the absence line.  For record keeping purposes it is important for you to call only the absence line.
