Dear Los Pen Families,
Pajama Day was a fun and comfortable way to end our week at school. My favorite moment was walking into a classroom and seeing students lounging in various places around the room, all engaged in reading a book. What a great Fall activity!
Please use the form linked below to vote for 4 new members of our Los Pen School Site Council:

Mrs. Weekes

This Week's Update
We have reached over $30,000 during our third week of our Big Give Fundraiser. Our students get to celebrate by having a popsicle party Tuesday October 1st for reaching our $20,000 goal, and a surprise from Ms. Bohn and Mrs. Weekes is coming for reaching the $30,000 mark!!
Let's keep going BIG on the BIG GIVE!
Together, we can reach our goal, and no additional fundraising will need to be done this school year.
Please consider donating today! https://url.usb.m.mimecastprotect.com/s/nRxbCB1GoQIRYzYlizfkC2zofo?domain=app.99pledges.com

Due to the growing size of staff, our parking lot spaces are reserved for Poway Unified School District staff and those with a valid handicapped placard only.
Please refrain from parking in our parking lot from 7:30 AM through dismissal, Monday through Friday. If you are coming into the lot to park during dismissal time, kindly wait for one of our staff members to direct you to a parking space. We have staff members that arrive in the afternoon and work through the evening, and would love for them to be able to utilize our parking lot.
Remember that we are all one school community, and deeply care about the safety of our students. Many families live nearby and walk to school every day. The intersection of Carmel Mountain Road and Cuca Street is a busy one, and unfortunately, can often be dangerous. Please be cautious of pedestrians using the crosswalk at this intersection. In order to avoid traffic backing up into surrounding communities, we advise that vehicles follow the route outlined here in red (from Carmel Mtn Rd onto Gerana St, and enter campus by making a right into Los Pen).
Thank you for your cooperation.
Mark your calendar now for the 2024 Los Pen dine outs!
