Please read all of the information contained in this newsletter.
Parking Lot Safety-PLEASE DO NOT RISK YOUR CHILD'S SAFETY!
Your help is needed to make our parking lot efficient and safe. Remember:
- no parking along the red curb
- NO LEFT TURN when exiting the parking lot. This causes a traffic jam in the lot and disrupts traffic flow
- DO NOT GET OUT OF YOUR VEHICLE, HAVE YOUR CHILD READY TO EXIT THE CAR, WITH THEIR BACKPACK, CLOSEST TO THE CURB. Scholars should be dressed and ready to exit. If they are not, please park on the street and get your scholar ready.
- if your scholar needs assistance getting to class, please park on the street and walk them inside
*NEW* - DO NOT PARK IN THE HANDICAP SPACES WITHOUT A PLACARD OR STICKER! WE HAVE SEVERAL STAFF MEMBERS AND STUDENTS WHO NEED ACCESS TO THESE SPACES TO ENTER CAMPUS.

Bring a Dish to Share
Dragon Families,
We hope you will consider bringing a dish from your culture/heritage to share with our school community. This event highlights the diversity at Ladera STARS and brings us all together through food. The form below went home last week. Please return it to the office if you plan to bring a dish to share. Thank you for sharing your culture!
YOUR NAME HERE!
Did you know that STARS Academy has a new sponsorship program that allows for your family name to be displayed on our fence? Have your name printed inside of a heart (see image) and display it proudly for everyone to see the support you provide to our school. Check out the link below!
Do you have extra uniform polos that your scholar has outgrown?
Please bring them to the main office to donate! We have many uses for them, including donating to scholars who need a little extra help with acquiring a uniform!

Be On Time!
Our goal is to have 95% positive school attendance and continue to improve each month. This also means getting to school on time and teaching our students to be on time and ready to learn. If you need to report an absence please call the Attendance Line: (805) 241-1065 or email Joanne Vermaak @ jvermaak@conejousd.org. Families have 3 school days to clear absences or else your child will be considered "truant". Also, if you plan to be out of town for 3 or more days, please let our office know.
Please CALL...
