If you are a new Linda Vista student in 1st-6th grades, we would love for you to join us on Tuesday, August 15th at 2:30 for a tour of the campus and hallways to help you be prepared for the first day of school. We will also finish with a cool treat from our PTA!

Our first day of school is Wednesday, August 16th. Here is what to expect:

• Parents will be allowed to walk on campus and line up with their child. Teachers will be on the blacktop to pick up the students to take them to their new classroom. This is only allowable on the first day of school. After this, for campus security, parents will remain outside the gates.
• 1st-6th grade students should be on the blacktop by 8:00.
• TK & Kindergarten students should be on the Kinder playground by 8:10.
• If you are choosing to park, you will need to arrive early and park in the surrounding neighborhood. Please be patient!
• If you are choosing to drop off, please utilize the drop off lane and pull all the way forward in the red zone before stopping to have your child exit the vehicle.
• We would love for parents who are able, to join us at the lunch tables after your student enters their classroom. We will have great conversation and coffee and donuts provided by our PTA.

As we teach our students, all of our rules on campus have a purpose, and usually the purpose is safety. This is very true for our parking lot. Our priority is safety & our goal is efficiency!

CLICK HERE for our Parking Lot Flow map.

Some things to remember during drop off & pick up:

• Please do not rush. We know parents are in a hurry to get to work/drop off other students, etc., but nothing is worth risking an accident or injury to anyone.
• Please follow the parking lot map for drop off lane and drive thru lane. Never allow your child to exit from the drive thru lane. This is extremely dangerous.
• Please only drop off when your car is in the red zone.
• Please pull all the way forward in the drop off lane so that as many cars as possible can safely drop off students as quickly as possible.
• Please teach your child to open their own door and get out on the curbside. This is so important for their safety! (We understand that many of our TK students will take some time to learn how to exit their vehicle independently, but all K-6th grade students should exit on their own.

Every Friday is Linda Vista Spirit Day!

We would love to see students showing their Linda Vista Spirit every Friday by wearing a school shirt or sweatshirt. We will have some shirts available for purchase on Registration Days.

Stay tuned for information on our new online site for purchasing spirit wear! Orders will be shipped to school and we will deliver items to classrooms.

Please join us on Tuesday, August 22nd for Back to School Night. We will begin at 5:30 by introducing our PTA and teaching staff. Each teacher will provide 2 identical presentations (6:00 & 6:30) so parents can attend presentations if they have more than one child. This is an opportunity for parents to meet teachers and understand the expectations of the year. It is preferable for students and young children to remain at home, if possible. The event will end at 7:00pm.

We are excited to be engaging with our Orange Community with fundraisers throughout the year! Take a night off of making dinner and help support Linda Vista!

Welcome to a new year at Linda Vista! Our PTA donations provide for many programs that our students enjoy every day, such as: twice weekly PE with Coach Joel, Art Masters each trimester for all grades, Science on the Go assemblies for K-3rd, Walk Through History assemblies for 4th-6th grades, and transportation for field trips for all grades, as well as fun family events such as Winter Fest, the Talent Show, and the Spring Carnival!

You can help by joining our PTA and/or making a donation. We are asking each family to make a donation of $200 for the year. This can be done all at once, or in as many payments as needed. CLICK HERE to join the PTA and make an additional online donation. You can also bring in cash or a check to our office, if you prefer. This year, you will receive a Linda Vista window sticker when you join!

In addition to the family donation, we will also be doing a Turkey Trot fundraiser in November, which is a great opportunity to invite grandparents, family members, and local businesses to help support our school programs as well.

Here are some other ways you can support our school that are FREE:

• BoxTops - Download the app & set up Linda Vista (Orange) as the recipient, then simply take a pic of your receipt each time you shop!
• Ralph's/Kroger donation - If you shop at Ralph's, you can set up your Rewards account to provide a donation to Linda Vista (Orange). Every time you shop, a percentage will go to our school, thanks to Kroger. This costs you nothing!
• Matching funds - Does your company provide matching funds when you donate to a non-profit? Ask and find out! If so, we can get you the Tax ID# and any information you might need. Let us know!

Remember, all families will receive a weekly announcement call and email, typically on Sunday evenings.

Additionally, each month there will be a Linda Vista View Newsletter, like this one. The link will always be emailed to you & is available on our school website.
