No School Reminder
Monday, September 2nd is a holiday. School will resume on Tuesday, September 3rd at 8:00 AM. Have a great three day weekend!
School Rules
We have been teaching and reviewing our school rules with all students since we started the new year. Our rules are:
1. Be Respectful
2. Be Responsible
3. Be Safe
We have posters up in our common areas (cafeterias, hallways, playgrounds and bathrooms) to help remind students of behavior expectations.
Breakfast
Students at Berylwood have the opportunity to get a free breakfast at school each day. It is served from 7:30-7:55 AM. If your child will have breakfast at school please be sure they get to school with enough time to eat it before school begins at 8:00 AM.
Toppers Pizza Night
Our first dine out night will be Tuesday, September 10th at Toppers Pizza from 3:30-9:00 PM. Our school will get credit for sales during this time when our flyer is presented at the counter. Toppers Pizza will donate 20% of sales generated by our school.
Toppers Pizza, 2408 Erringer Rd., Simi Valley
Student Attendance
Student attendance is important! Students are building routines and learning everyday. Start building good attendance habits early so students learn right away that going to school on time, every day is important.
Attendance Phone Messages
If you call the office and leave a message for your child's absence please include the following information: Student's full name, student's teacher, room number, and the reason why the student is absent. Please speak slowly when providing the information so we can clear the absence. If any of the information is left out or we can't understand what is being stated in the message we are not able to clear the absence. Thank you!
School Uniforms
Students are expected to wear their uniform daily. Students will wear a light blue polo or other collared blue shirt and dark solid blue bottoms. Any jacket, sweater, or sweatshirt with appropriate words and pictures is acceptable. Berylwood shirts may be worn on Fridays. Uniforms can be found at Old Navy, Target, Walmart, or Kohl's.
Visitors/Volunteers on Campus
All Simi Valley Schools use the Raptor Visitor Management System. This web-based software provides a sophisticated check-in and check-out system for all visitors coming to our schools and facilities. In addition to providing a data trail of visitors to our sites, this system will provide details of each visit, produce visitor badges, check-in/out all visitors, and electronically search each visitor’s information against national registered sexual offender databases. If you are scheduled to volunteer on campus you will need to complete the volunteer paperwork and provide a copy of your current state issued photo ID prior to helping at school. Each volunteer session you will need to bring your state issued ID so we can print your badge. Feel free to call our office at (805) 520-6705 with any questions.
