YMCA Annual Campaign – THANK YOU
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.
Thank you to our community for your generous support of the YMCA. Our school raised $14,000 and counting!! The winners of the Field Day are…..
Mr. Britt’s Class and Mrs. Kettl’s Class! Congratulations!
If you would like to make a donation, it’s not too late! Visit our YMCA Page – CLICK HERE!

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.

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.
- 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.
