Parking Lot Safety
Your help is needed to make our parking lot efficient and safe. Remember:
- no parking along the red curb
- NO LEFT TURN when exiting the parking lot. This causes a traffic jam in the lot and disrupts traffic flow
- do not get out of your vehicle, have your child ready to exit the car, with their backpack, closest to the curb. Scholars should be dressed and ready to exit. If they are not, please park on the street and get your scholar ready.
- if your scholar needs assistance getting to class, please park on the street and walk them inside
School Attendance Rate
We did it! STARS Academy has approved its average daily attendance rate by 2.82%! While this seems like a small number, this is no easy feat. Improved attendance means more learning, routine, and academic preparedness for our scholars. Congratulations to our school community for working together and prioritizing school attendance for scholars.
5th Grade End of Year Celebrations
It's almost time to say farewell to our 5th-grade class. Click the link below to learn more about how we will celebrate our soon-to-be middle school scholars.

School Site Council Nomination Form - We STILL need you!
Be On Time!
Our goal is to have 95% positive school attendance and continue to improve each month. This also means getting to school on time and teaching our students to be on time and ready to learn. If you need to report an absence please call the Attendance Line: (805) 241-1065 or email Joanne Vermaak @ jvermaak@conejousd.org. Families have 3 school days to clear absences or else your child will be considered "truant". Also, if you plan to be out of town for 3 or more days, please let our office know.
Uniforms
Ladera STARS Academy is a uniform school and scholars should wear their blue or grey polo daily to school. Solid bottoms should be worn. Pajama bottoms are not school appropriate and should not be worn outside of class/school pajama days. Please ensure your scholar is dressed appropriately before leaving for school. If you have any questions or concerns regarding our uniform policy please reach out to your child's teacher or the office.
