Breakfast & Lunch continue to be FREE for all TK-5th grade students this year. Please check the district website for the monthly menus. https://www.etiwanda.k12.ca.us/page/menus

The first day of school is a special occasion with lots of feelings and emotions from both students and adults! We open our campus for arrival on the first day of school to help our families celebrate the new school year, take pictures, greet their new teachers, and wave/hug goodbyes as their student enters the classroom.

*Please anticipate that there will be very little to no parking available on the first day of school. You may need to utilize the neighboring streets to find parking and walk over.

On the second day of school, we will return to a closed, secure campus for the remainder of the school year. This will begin our daily drop and go routine along the yellow curbs in both parking lots.

FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL ONLY: Our gates will be open from 7:40-8:15am to provide families an opportunity to take pictures with the individual grade level "Welcome Back to School" banners!

Please join or renew your PTA membership! Early bird special is $8 (+$1 service fee)

Perdew Elementary School has implemented a “no food items” approach to celebrating birthdays within the school day. Teachers will acknowledge birthdays in a special way such as a birthday crown, singing happy birthday, allowing a child to share a special book with the class, etc.

You are more than welcome to bring in non-food birthday celebrations items that can easily be distributed at the end of class.

Reasons for this change include health concerns and loss of instructional time. Many of our students have health concerns related to food, including allergies, obesity, diabetes, and sensitivities to dyes.

Thank you for supporting us in our efforts to keep students healthy and maximize learning time at school.
