Our family newsletter will be sent every Friday afternoon. If you don't receive a copy please check to see if we have your correct email address in AERIES.
Families can log into their AERIES account Wednesday, August 14th in the afternoon to see who their child's teacher will be for the upcoming year.
TK and Kindergarten Orientation
TK and Kindergarten will have their class orientation on the first day of school from 8:00-9:15 in the classroom. The teachers will have important class information for you at that time.
Ways to Help with Separation Fears for Kids Starting School
1. Make a fun goodbye routine.
2. Practice getting ready for school.
3. Have the students pack a picture of the family.
Change can be hard for children as well as adults. Below is a handout with more helpful information.
School Uniforms
Students are expected to wear their uniform daily. Students will wear a light blue polo or other collared blue shirt and dark solid blue bottoms. Any jacket, sweater, or sweatshirt with appropriate words and pictures is acceptable. Berylwood shirts may be worn on Fridays. Uniforms can be found at Old Navy, Target, Walmart, or Kohl's.
Visitors/Volunteers on Campus
All Simi Valley Schools use the Raptor Visitor Management System. This web-based software provides a sophisticated check-in and check-out system for all visitors coming to our schools and facilities. In addition to providing a data trail of visitors to our sites, this system will provide details of each visit, produce visitor badges, check-in/out all visitors, and electronically search each visitor’s information against national registered sexual offender databases. If you are scheduled to volunteer on campus you will need to complete the volunteer paperwork and provide a copy of your current state issued photo ID prior to helping at school. Each volunteer session you will need to bring your state issued ID so we can print your badge. Feel free to call our office at (805) 520-6705 with any questions.
