Back to School Night
Our teachers are excited to welcome parents and guardians into their classrooms so they can learn about their course and curriculum, goals and expectations for the year and so much more. You will have an opportunity to walk the walk your child does. Experiencing what the campus is like and seeing their day to day travels.
Our PFA (parent/guardian/faculty association) will be on hand to answer questions and provide information for families. They support our school and your students in a variety of means.
This is not a time for individual conferences. We want to protect confidentiality and respect a student's right of privacy. You may email the teacher to inquire about individual needs, questions and concerns. All emails are available through Aeries/Homelink.
If you are unable to attend please reach out to your child's teachers to get any pertinent information. Hope to see you!

Safety Reminders
This is not new information but a much needed repeat message. Please understand all of these rules and procedures are for student safety. We are having some close calls with vehicles and our students. As you are well aware as a driver--the car will always win.
Please drive slowly, look around for children, and adhere to these:
Speed limit surrounding the school is 20 mph.
When exiting driveways on campus NO Left Turns during school hours (7:30-3pm).
Parking: No parking in crosswalks/red zones; only designated spots.
Staff Parking Lot: NO DROP-OFF OR PICK-UP. THIS is for our school buses ONLY.
If you should need to pick up your child within the day if the Staff lot is open you may use the Visitor spots (under the solar panels by the main entrance). IF the cones are blocking the parking lot entrances, park in the drive-through circle.
Other Areas for drop off and pick-up: Via Monte & Deerpark Drive.
Please respect the rules of the road and our neighbors.
A few neighbors have kindly asked to remind you of the following:
- Don't make U-Turns in their driveways or in the middle of the street. This is especially dangerous for our students who are walking and those on bikes.
- Don't block driveways.
- Children should understand private property and not sit on lawns, fences, or benches without the owner's permission.
