Thank you for being such an important part of our SFiAM community. Let’s finish strong and enjoy this final week together!
The Governing Council met on Friday and approved two important changes for the upcoming 2025–2026 school year:
-
Separate Lunch for 6th Grade
6th grade students from both SFMS and SFiAM will now have a separate lunch period from 7th and 8th graders. This change is designed to support a smoother transition into middle school and provide a developmentally appropriate lunch experience for our youngest students. -
Modified Regular/Reverse Schedule
We will implement a new alternating bell schedule that includes both regular and reverse days:-
Regular Schedule: Periods 1 → 2 → 3 → 4 → 5 → 6
-
Reverse Schedule: Periods 6 → 5 → 3 → 4 → 2 → 1
✅ Note: Periods 3 and 4 will remain in the same position on both schedules and will not rotate.
-
As we wrap up an amazing school year, please remember to return all school materials on the designated days:
-
Tuesday, June 3rd – 8th Grade Book & Yondr Pouch Collection
-
Friday, June 6th – 6th & 7th Grade Book & Yondr Pouch Collection
📅 Collection schedule to be announced soon.
All students must return their books and Yondr pouches to avoid charges and ensure a smooth end-of-year checkout. Thank you for your cooperation!

To recognize their efforts, all students will receive a special token of appreciation from Region North on Monday.

This past Saturday, our incoming 6th grade students and their families got their first taste of the San Fernando Campus!
A big thank you to our amazing staff for making this event possible—and to our families for spending their Saturday morning with us. We’re excited to welcome the Class of 2027 to the SFiAM community!
We’re excited to offer three incredible summer programs for our current 6th and 7th grade students at SFiAM! All programs will run from June 17th to July 16th, Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 12:20 p.m., with after-school activities available from 12:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. through our extended day program.
Here’s what’s available:
-
ESY (Extended School Year): Open to students with IEPs, this program will be led by special education teachers from nearby schools.
-
ELOS (Extended Learning Opportunities for Students): This academic and enrichment program will be taught by our very own SFiAM teachers, offering students a great blend of learning and fun.
-
Jo Boaler Math Camp: We're thrilled to be one of the few schools in LA selected to host this unique math experience! Designed by Stanford Professor Jo Boaler and led by SFiAM’s fantastic math team, this camp makes math fun, engaging, and empowering.
Please note: Current 8th grade students will attend summer school at the high school they’ll be enrolling in next year.
If you have any questions or would like help enrolling, please stop by the school office or give us a call at (818) 837-5455. We’d love to help!
📣 Incoming 6th Grade Summer Bridge Program

We’re excited to invite current 5th grade students to join us for our SFiAM Summer Bridge Program! Whether your child is planning to attend SFiAM in the fall—or still considering it—this is a great opportunity to explore our campus, meet future classmates and staff, and get a sneak peek into middle school life.

We can’t wait to welcome our future Jaguars!
A friendly reminder that all students are expected to wear their school uniform each day. Our uniform includes a baby blue collared shirt and navy blue pants/shorts/skirt.
Unless students are participating in Math Shirt Monday or a Spirit Week dress-up day, they should be in full uniform. Please note that black pants, sweatpants, or sweatshirts without a collared shirt underneath do not meet our uniform policy.
If your child needs help getting a uniform, please don’t hesitate to reach out—we’re here to support you.
Thank you for helping us maintain a consistent and professional learning environment for all students!
