Any donation is greatly appreciated to continue this valuable resource for students. Donations will be accepted at walk-thru and anytime through-out the school year.

Through various fundraising activities and public donations, our community has an outlet for students to learn the joy of performing and expressing themselves through art and music.

Medical Information
All students entering the 7th grade must show proof of having had the TDap booster shot PRIOR to registration. This requirement will help protect your child and others in your school community from whooping cough. There is NO EXCEPTION. If you are an incoming 6th grader, it is never too early to turn in your TDap vaccination as it will be needed before 7th grade. Please bring it to the EMS office.
If your child is given an inhaler, medication, or is advised to take over the counter medication by their doctor, you will need to fill out a “medication to dispense” form. Please be aware that this form will need to be filled out by your health care provider before your child can use an inhaler or any other medication at school. This is in accordance to California Ed. Code 49423.
Community Service is a wonderful way to contribute to your community. Excelsior encourages each student to participate in a minimum of 1 hour per semester they are in attendance. Please don’t wait until the last minute as these hours are due as well by May 2nd. These forms can be found with your child’s TEAM teacher, but summer is a great time to work on these hours.
