Help Us Retain Our Crossing Guard – Walk or Ride to School!
The City of Thousand Oaks may still be monitoring our Arboles/Velarde crosswalk usage in March, so we continue to encourage as many students as possible to walk, bike, or ride scooters to school and utilize this crosswalk in the weeks and months ahead.
Your participation helps demonstrate the importance of maintaining safe routes to school for our students. Thank you for your support in keeping our community safe and thriving!

Short Term Independent Study (STIS) Opportunities
California’s 2024-25 STIS policy allows families to request 1–15 days of independent study per school year for absences due to illness, family emergencies, or other short-term needs. Students will receive assignments to stay engaged with the curriculum while away.
To request STIS, contact the Wildwood office or visit our attendance page for more details. We’re committed to supporting student success through flexible learning options.
STEAM Update
I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream!!! What a fun couple of weeks we've had making ice cream in a can. Even though it was pretty cold on some of those days the kids, didn't seem to care! A HUGE thank you to all the families that donated - we are so thankful!!!
Here is the recipe if you'd like to try it at home.
