Are you missing a jacket? A sweatshirt? A water bottle?

YES, YES, YES, YOU ARE! 🤪 Our Lost and Found is overflowing, and it makes us sad! Please take a minute to check it out during Open House or the next time you are on campus this week. We will be donating all leftover items that have no names during Spring Break! Claim your items before they are gone!

Also, all items with names will be given to students. Names on labels are always a great idea!

Bringing cash to the book fair can create certain challenges. To alleviate this, families are encouraged to create E-Wallet for their child to shop with.

Please scan the QR code, and it will take you directly to a link where they can create an E-wallet account and add money to it for their child.

The 18th Annual Community Science Night on April 25th, from 5:30 - 8:30 at Santiago Canyon College (SCC), is proudly presented in collaboration with Orange Unified School District (OUSD) and Placentia Yorba Linda Unified School District (PYLUSD). This anticipated event is set to welcome nearly 2,000 guests, offering them an engaging opportunity to dive into the fascinating world of science. Led by the dedicated instructors from SCC, OUSD, and PYLUSD, participants of all ages, particularly elementary & middle school students and their families, will enjoy a variety of hands-on scientific experiments. Reflecting on last year's remarkable turnout, we are excited to host an even larger crowd this year.

The evening will feature over 50 interactive science experiments, demonstrations, and activities scattered across the campus, enhancing the educational experience. Additionally, attendees will have the pleasure of enjoying live music and a selection of food trucks for dining options.
No tickets are needed. Simply come to Community Science Night on the campus of SCC located at 8045 E. Chapman Ave. in Orange and check-in at one of the tables.

We are now enrolling students for TK and Kindergarten for the 2025-26 year! It is extremely helpful to make sure you enroll early so that we can staff correctly for next year. If you have neighbors with small children, please let them know it is time to register! They can call the office for information! Especially if families are looking for child care - this fills up! Please, please, please register now for next year!

Students in PYLUSD can apply to any of the career technical education academies and pathways that are located at each high school regardless of where they live in the district, so we want to share about them now to help our families understand all the opportunities available to them. El Dorado is home to our Digital Media Arts Academy. Please enjoy this overview video about this academy and explore their website as you think about your student’s future.
