CAASPP for Families – Coffee with Principal

Registration for the 24/25 School Year is OPEN!  If you have a new, incoming student, for the 2024-25 school year, it is not too soon to get your child registered.  Our enrollment determines our staffing for the following year, so the sooner we know how many students to expect, the better idea we have for the staffing we will need to support their learning.

The entire process is online at www.cvesd.org.  Click HERE to go the registration page – you will find the information/documents you will need to fully register.  If you have any questions, please reach out to our office at 619-421-6300.

Parking Lot Safety   

For your review, here are the traffic and parking lot expectations:

  • Red Curbs – “as required under California Vehicle Code Section 21458(a)(1), a curb painted red shall indicate no stopping, standing, or parking whether the vehicle is attended or unattended.” 
  • The left lane in the parking lot is for traffic to move through.  Parking/stopping in the left lane blocks cars from being able to exit.  Students should not exit or enter vehicles that are in the left lane.
  • Use crosswalks for crossing the street and parking lot.  When dropping students off, please be sure that they exit the vehicle on the right so that they get out directly onto the sidewalk closest to the school building.
  • Follow traffic patterns and do not double park along parking spaces.
  • Right turn only out of our lot during arrival and dismissal.
  • Bus loading and unloading areas are for district vans and buses only

If you would like to volunteer in our parking lot, please let me know at crystal.sutton@cvesd.org.

Weekly Message for the Week of April 8th

Dear Tiffany Families,

I hope this email finds you well and that you have all enjoyed the spring sunshine this weekend!  It was a welcomed change from the cold rainy weather we have been experiencing.

Here is the information for the week:

Solar Eclipse Information for Monday

As you may be aware, on Monday, April 8, 2024, an extraordinary celestial event will occur in North America as a solar eclipse will cast its shadow across the continent. While San Diego County will experience a partial eclipse rather than a total one, the event is nonetheless significant. The San Diego region is expected to witness a partial eclipse that will begin around 10 a.m., peak at 11:11 a.m., and end at 12:23 p.m.

To ensure the safety and well-being of all our students and staff during this event, the Chula Vista Elementary School District (CVESD) has implemented a rainy day schedule for all schools on April 8th. This means that recess and lunch activities will be conducted indoors. Parental permission is required for classrooms intending to incorporate eclipse viewing into their curriculum, and adherence to NASA’s safety standards regarding appropriate viewing gear is mandatory.

​Some teachers have sent home permission slips for students whose classrooms plan to engage in educational activities centered around the eclipse outdoors. Please return the permission slip to your classroom teacher on Monday morning.  Students that do not have a permission slip will not be able to participate in those activities outdoors with classroom teachers that have planned activities.  Again, this is only some classrooms that have elected to participate in an outdoor activity.

Our classrooms also will have access to NASA’s livestream of the event so that they can see the full eclipse from the parts of the country who will be in the path.

If you have any additional questions, please let me know. You can also learn more about what CVESD is doing and safety tips by visiting cvesd.org.

Registration for the 24/25 School Year is OPEN!  If you have a new, incoming student, for the 2024-25 school year, it is not too soon to get your child registered.  Our enrollment determines our staffing for the following year, so the sooner we know how many students to expect, the better idea we have for the staffing we will need to support their learning.

The entire process is online at www.cvesd.org.  Click HERE to go the registration page – you will find the information/documents you will need to fully register.  If you have any questions, please reach out to our office at 619-421-6300.

Students Crossing at Major Intersections and Parking Lot Safety   

I received a call this week from a concerned community member when she witnessed a young elementary student crossing at Rutgers and H Street, against traffic, shortly after our dismissal.  Cars had to stop to accommodate the student crossing when the cars had the right-of-way and the student should have been waiting at the curb to cross.  The student was crossing to an older school-aged student, who was waiting on the other side of the street.

Thankfully, the student was safe due to the careful driving of the drivers at that moment, but it could have been so much worse.  The community member did not know if the student was from Tiffany, but felt compelled to call us to remind our students of this danger, as the proximity to our school and our dismissal time made it possible that it was one of our students.  Please take a moment to remind your children that we must adhere to all traffic patterns and cross when it is safe to do so.  Thank you for your support.

For your review, here are the traffic and parking lot expectations:

  • Red Curbs – “as required under California Vehicle Code Section 21458(a)(1), a curb painted red shall indicate no stopping, standing, or parking whether the vehicle is attended or unattended.” 
  • The left lane in the parking lot is for traffic to move through.  Parking/stopping in the left lane blocks cars from being able to exit.  Students should not exit or enter vehicles that are in the left lane.

  • Right turn only out of our lot during arrival and dismissal.
  • Bus loading and unloading areas are for district vans and buses only

Parking Lot Safety   

We continue to have concerns with safety in our parking lot and bus area during arrival and dismissal.  We have parents who have stepped up to volunteer, Safety Patrol leaders and many families who are following the expectations.  We are very fortunate that our lot does flow pretty well when we all follow the expectations.

Our CVESD buses and vans park on the Northwest side of our campus at arrival and dismissal to pick up and drop off students.  We understand that the use of transportation vans has caused a little confusion and now some of our families are parking in this area.  The only vehicles that can park on this small section of the street (Northwest curb to the right of our exit) are CVESD buses and vans.  When family vehicles park there, it prevents the buses/vans from being able to park, thus blocking all of the other cars that are trying to get into or out of our lot.  Thank you for keeping this in mind when you are looking for a place to load and unload.

For your review, here are the traffic and parking lot expectations:

  • Red Curbs – “as required under California Vehicle Code Section 21458(a)(1), a curb painted red shall indicate no stopping, standing, or parking whether the vehicle is attended or unattended.” 
  • The left lane in the parking lot is for traffic to move through.  Parking/stopping in the left lane blocks cars from being able to exit.  Students should not exit or enter vehicles that are in the left lane.

PTA Family Bingo Night April 12th

Our Auction Basket fundraiser is right around the corner. Please make sure to have any monetary or in-kind donations ready for drop off to your room parent by April 3rd so that your room rep has time to assemble the baskets.  Tickets for this event will be on sale the first week we come back from break.

Clearing Absences

Just a friendly reminder that absences should be cleared within 72 hours of the absence occurring.  Sometimes after families receive letters regarding uncleared absences and a request is made to clear those absences.  Some of those dates are as far back as the beginning of the school year.  In order to do that, our attendance clerk has to edit all of the reports for that month and resubmit to the state and district.  Unfortunately, we are unable to go back that far.  Please be sure to clear your child’s absences within the 72 hours.  If you have any questions, please reach out to our office.  Thank you for your support.

HOW CAN I ENROLL?  Parents and Guardians can click on the links below for the correct grade of your student in which your student is interested in. 

Your child does not have to attend everyday offered of that one Club.  I understand there are more than one Club your child is interested in.  (Example: Basketball and Football are offered the exact same days.  When they check in, they can tell us what Club they will be in that day.

  • Red Curbs – “as required under California Vehicle Code Section 21458(a)(1), a curb painted red shall indicate no stopping, standing, or parking whether the vehicle is attended or unattended.” 
  • The left lane in the parking lot is for traffic to move through.  Parking/stopping in the left lane blocks cars from being able to exit.  Students should not exit or enter vehicles that are in the left lane.
  • Use crosswalks for crossing the street and parking lot.  When dropping students off, please be sure that they exit the vehicle on the right so that they get out directly onto the sidewalk closest to the school building.
  • Follow traffic patterns and do not double park along parking spaces.
  • Right turn only out of our lot during arrival and dismissal.

Here are our Safety Patrol leaders with reminders of what their different signals mean:

If you would like to volunteer in our parking lot, please let me know at crystal.sutton@cvesd.org.

YMCA Annual Campaign Is Going Strong!  

Each year, the YMCA holds their Annual Campaign and Tiffany Elementary is proud to support their efforts.  The YMCA does a tremendous amount of work in our community and it is more than child care.  Their Annual Campaign allows the YMCA to provide many opportunities in our community including scholarships for childcare, events for seniors, memberships for unsheltered members of our community and more.

At Tiffany this year, we will support the Annual Campaign by having a coin drive.  Our individual classrooms have containers where students can bring in donations that will be donated to the YMCA.  The drive will go from Monday, February 12th through Friday, March 1st.  The primary and upper grade class with the highest donation total will win a field day hosted by our YMCA team!

If you would like to make a classroom donation, but would rather donate via our YMCA page, CLICK HERE – write your child’s name and room number in the memo line and we will dd it to your classroom total.

The YMCA will also be selling popsicles every Friday through March 8th in front of the school.  All money raised will go toward the Annual Campaign.  Thank you for your support!
