Weekly Wrangler

Happy Halloween! We had a wonderful Halloween parade this morning, and it was a joy to see the creativity and excitement in every costume. A big thank you to all the students, families, and staff who helped make today a memorable day for all!

As a reminder, there is no school tomorrow, Friday, November 1. We hope everyone enjoys the long weekend.

Looking to this week, Monday is make-up picture day. We start our school tours for the 2025-2026 school year this Wednesday. If you know any perspective parents interested in touring the school, please have them call the office to schedule a tour time.

Happy Trails,

Ms. Triplett

CVUSD has made major changes for Short Term Independent Study (“STIS”). Our school gets funding from the State based on student attendance. If your student is not present (regardless of reason: excused/unexcused), we do not get paid.

STIS is available for families when a student is absent. Once an agreement is signed and schoolwork submitted & graded by the teacher, the absences will be changed to reflect that schoolwork was received and missed days will not be marked against his/her attendance record.

Advantages of doing STIS are your child will accrue attendance (i.e., will be as though he/she were present in class), teacher gets reimbursed for prepared schoolwork, and allows CVUSD to collect funds based on student average daily attendance. There now is NO minimum number of days or NO limitations on reasons for STIS. You may apply for STIS for as little as a single day and for ANY reason (travel, illness, doctor visit, mental health day, etc.). Please consider applying for STIS when your child is absent – the most advanced notice will be greatly appreciated.

*Only 15 STIS days per school year permitted*

Contact health clerk/attendance liaison Kristine Kawaguchi at kkawaguchi@conejousd.org or 805/241-4417 ext 319 if interested in STIS, have questions, or need additional information.

~Drop Off & Pick Up Procedures~

• Please drop off your students off of Sandhurst or Knightsbridge. Drop Off's at the front office are not permitted unless the student is tardy.
• Please pick your students up on time. It's important to teach your kids to be timely and modeling it is the best way to exhibit that behavior. School lets out at 1:30 for TK & K and 2:35 for Grades 1-5.
• If you are picking your student up during school hours, please make sure you have your ID on you. For safety purposes we can't release a student without an ID. We also can not call a student out of class unless you are in the building.
• 
  

~Sharing Food~

• Parents are not permitted to send/bring lunch for their student's friends. Please make sure your students are not sharing food during lunch. We have this rule in place due to allergy reasons. Let's keep all of our little Wranglers safe! Thank you for your support.

All volunteers and visitors MUST check-in at the front office with your ID each time you are on campus.You will not be permitted on campus without your ID.

If you will be volunteering regularly on campus, you will need to fill out the volunteer paperwork. It was sent home the first week of school and needs to be submitted at least one week prior to the start of volunteering. All volunteers must have a scheduled volunteer time with their student's teacher. Thank you for your support in keeping our school safe!

Please make sure you sign-in if you are on campus for our pep rallies! Anytime you are on campus after the bell rings, you must sign-in!

Please visit our Digital Backpack for upcoming after school enrichment classes. Classes begin in the next two weeks. Click here for more information.

You are invited to a public meeting and display for review of our Comprehensive School Saftey Plan as per Education Code 32288.

This plan will be discussed at our School Site Council Meeting on October 29th at 2:45pm.

Welcome to Lang Ranch Elementary: a new webpage of flyers from community groups/organizations that will be used to reduce the amount of paper that your child takes home in their backpack.

From time to time, individuals or groups in the community will distribute information and advertisements to parents/guardians on the public sidewalks during school arrival or dismissal. This information is not affiliated or endorsed by Lang Ranch Elementary school and CVUSD. Any approved communications (i.e. announcements, fliers) from Lang Ranch Elementary school and CVUSD will be provided directly from the school to you via email, or given to your students to take home. If you ever are unsure whether or not materials are from Lang Ranch Elementary school and CVUSD, please do not hesitate to contact the front office.

Please Note: The Conejo Valley Unified School District approves flyers from organizations as a community service. The distribution, posting, or publishing of these materials is *NOT* the District's endorsement of the group's activities, products, or services.
