Welcome Back!
Dear Families,
As we welcome the month of January, we are excited to embrace new learning opportunities and adventures in our classrooms. This month, our teachers will focus on fostering a growth mindset among students, encouraging them to embrace challenges and learn from their mistakes. We also look forward to our upcoming winter activities, where students will engage in fun and educational experiences that promote teamwork and creativity. Thank you for your continued support in making our school community a wonderful place for our children to learn and grow!

Share your perspective about your school and district
San Juan Unified would like to invite parents and students to take the San Juan Unified annual district climate survey. Your feedback is vital and informs school and district leaders of the changes needed in their communities. The deadline for the survey is Feb. 7.
Surveys are available online in several languages at:

Drop-Off Procedures
Safety is our number one priority, especially in the morning! Please review our Drop-Off Procedures:
Do not park your car or leave your vehicle unattended in the Fire Lane!
If you would like to park your car and walk your student into school, please park in the designated parking spots. To avoid disrupting the flow of traffic, please do not park your car in the driveway. Reference the map for the driveway that designates the drop off/pick up area.
Pick-Up Procedures for 1st-5th Grades
School ends at 2:10 on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Fridays.
Thursdays, school ends at 12:45.
To address safety and the business of the end of the day, we will not call students out for early dismissals after 2:00 (12:35 on Thursdays).
We still have students who are being picked up more than 30 minutes after dismissal. Students who are frequently picked up 30 minutes or more after dismissal will be referred to Safe Schools.
