The weather forecast for this week

January 13 - January 17, 2025

Compliments of The Weather Channel.

Almost all of our Simi Valley Schools are considered School of Choice (SOC). (The standing exceptions to SOC are Hollow Hills Elementary School and Vista Elementary School, which are Fundamental schools; Arroyo Elementary School's Dual Language Academy; and Santa Susana High School, which is a magnet school.) As long as the school is not filled to its capacity with existing students and incoming neighborhood students, students living outside the neighborhood boundaries of a school may apply to enroll in that school, and the school may accept these students until the school is filled to capacity. If there are more applications than there are available spots for interested students, the school will conduct a random lottery to select the number of students they are able to accept.

New families that are not part of the Crestview Elementary neighborhood school boundaries can click here to start the School of Choice application process.

For more information, visit the Simi Valley Unified School District website.

Deadline for School of Choice applications is Friday, February 7 @ 4:00p.m.

Any parents considering Crestview Elementary for their child(ren), are welcomed to attend a school tour to get to know our campus, the programs we offer and our wonderful staff that makes the magic happen for our kiddos. School tours will be offered every Tuesday in January at 9:00a.m. and Friday, January 17 at 1:15p.m. for anyone to see our CATS Academy (Creative Arts Technology & Science) in action.

It's been so great seeing everyone back this week. I hope you all had a great winter break and are looking forward to the second half of the school year!

We are gearing up for some great events in the coming months! Our next Restaurant Fundraiser is on January 23 at Urbane Cafe (one of my personal favorites!). We are starting to plan our Read Across America FREE Book Exchange for March (please start saving your books to donate to this incredible event!), and we are also starting the plans for Crestview Elementary's 60th BIRTHDAY PARTY happening on April 25!

We are also having our next PTA PULSE Association Meeting on January 23 from 4:30-5:00 on ZOOM. We invite ALL Crestview families to join this meeting and hear about PTA updates, budget plans, events and more. Keep your eyes out for more info.

Want to help be a part of these events? We need volunteers!

Be sure to keep up with all that PTA is doing by following

Until next week,
