We held our October Roadrunner Rally this morning. Thank you to our fifth grade students for a great performance. Congratulations to our October Roadrunners of the Month!

Next week (10/14-10/18) is Parent/Teacher Conference Week here at Aspen. Please note that school will dismiss at 12:30 PM every day next week. If you have not signed up for a conference, please contact your teacher directly to schedule a time to meet.

WEAR ORANGE on Wednesday, October 16th to show unity for kindness, acceptance, and inclusion and to send a visible message that no child should ever experience bullying.

To kick off Student Council this year, Aspen will be participating in Socktober. SOCKTOBER is an annual, month-long campaign designed to show people that ordinary acts of love can make a big difference. It can all start with socks. During the month of October we would like to collect new socks for the homeless. If you are interested in contributing new socks for men, women, children and babies, please bring them to Room 7 or drop them off in the office.

Each year our school develops the School Plan for Student Achievement (SPSA). This document outlines our school’s goals and corresponding budgeted actions for the school year. A big thank you to our School Site Council for their work in developing our SPSA! The draft version of our school’s SPSA is now available here. Please feel free to contact Dr. Craven at scraven@conejousd.org if you have any questions or input.

The following guidelines will assist us in keeping our students safe in the parking lot:

• Proceed in the Aspen parking lot at no more than 5 miles per hour.
• Walk with your child across the parking lot using the marked crosswalk.
• Do not allow your child to walk unattended between cars.
• Stay in the right hand lane, move all the way forward, and drop your student off from the right side of the vehicle.
• Never leave your vehicle unattended in the drive-thru lanes.
• Follow the California Vehicle Code laws.
• Remind your child to respect people’s property.

Consider the following:

• You may pull up to the curb at the front of the school to drop off your student.
• You may park on the street on Oberlin or Marlowe and walk your student on campus.
• Please do not block driveways.
• Be mindful of labeled No Parking zones near the crosswalks.
• The gates at the front of the school will be open for entry and exit. There will not be access through the gate on Marlowe.
• Arrange with your student ahead of time a location for pickup.

Conejo Valley Unified School District (CVUSD) is pleased to provide all students with a Chromebook through the District’s 1:1 Program. While at no cost to families, proper use and care of the Chromebook is the responsibility of the student and their parent/guardian. To support this program, CVUSD is offering Chromebook Accidental Damage Protection (ADP) program for parents to eliminate the concern and costs of repairing or replacing damaged, or stolen Chromebooks.
