Hi Aspen Families!
Here are some updates and important information for the upcoming week. Please scroll to the bottom of the newsletter for PFA updates:
Join us for Outdoor Movie Night Tonight!
Highlight of the Week
September is Attendance Awareness Month!
You are your children’s first, most important, and longest lasting teachers, advocates, and nurturers. You can take the following actions to ensure that your children can develop a positive attitude toward school, stay in school longer, have better attendance, and an overall rewarding school experience.
Take Action!
1. Make getting to school on time everyday a high priority in your family.
2. Talk with your child about the importance of school attendance and the negative effects of too many absences from an early age.
3. When necessary, create a safe space for your child to share what’s keeping them from participating in school on a regular basis.
4. Have a back-up plan for getting your child to school when there are difficulties with transportation, family illness, or other challenges.
5. Schedule doctor and other appointments for after-school hours whenever possible.
6. Contact your child’s school to discuss supports and services that can help your child maintain regular school attendance.
Please reach out if you need support! We want to partner with you to ensure a great school year for your student. #AttendTodayAchieveTomorrow

Parking Lot Safety
The following guidelines will assist us in keeping our students safe in the parking lot:
- Proceed in the Aspen parking lot at no more than 5 miles per hour.
- Walk with your child across the parking lot using the marked crosswalk.
- Do not allow your child to walk unattended between cars.
- Stay in the right hand lane, move all the way forward, and drop your student off from the right side of the vehicle.
- Never leave your vehicle unattended in the drive-thru lanes.
- Follow the California Vehicle Code laws.
- Remind your child to respect people’s property.
Consider the following:
- You may pull up to the curb at the front of the school to drop off your student.
- You may park on the street on Oberlin or Marlowe and walk your student on campus.
- Please do not block driveways.
- Be mindful of labeled No Parking zones near the crosswalks.
- The gates at the front of the school will be open for entry and exit. There will not be access through the gate on Marlowe.
- Arrange with your student ahead of time a location for pickup.
