Reminder – School Site Council Change of Date for the November Meeting

Our next School Site Council Meeting date was previously posted as occurring on November 18th.  However, at our last SSC Meeting, we decided to move it to Tuesday, November 4th.  I wanted to make sure that our community was aware.  If you have any questions, please reach out.

Everyday Counts – Attendance Reminders

Just a reminder that our gates open for breakfast and the track at 8:10am – we encourage our families to take advantage of this opportunity, as you beat the parking lot rush!  School starts promptly at 8:45am and students should be in line by 8:40am.

If a student is sick with a fever, bowel issues, vomiting, COVID, flu, etc., they should not attend school.  Also keep in mind that students who have a 100+ degree temperature may not come to school and can return after they have been fever free for 24 hours without medication.

Here are tips for attendance to know what is excused and what is not:

  • Please call the office to report any absences and the reason for the absence.
    • Excused Absences: illness, doctor appointments for the student, military engagements (ex. ceremony, return from deployment), death of an immediate family member, etc.
    • Unexcused Absences:  appointments for other family members, out of town, vacations, etc.
    • Independent Study:  If you know ahead that your child might need to miss school (ex. family reunion), please contact your child’s teacher and our office to set up an independent study contract.  Independent Study contracts are available for 1 or more days, but not more than 14 cumulative days in a school year.  Independent Study Contracts should be requested at least one week in advance.
    • Tardy:  Students are considered tardy if they are not in class by 8:45am.

To report and absence, you can leave a message 24 hours a day by calling our office at 619-421-6300, you can email deborah.chapman@cvesd.org, or you can stop by our office.  All excused absences must be cleared as soon as possible, preferably within 24 hours of the student returning to campus.  We cannot go back to previous months to clear absences, as our reports are sent to the district and state at the end of each month.

If you any questions, please reach out to deborah.chapman@cvesd.org or crystal.sutton@cvesd.org.  Thank you.

Looking ahead, there will be No School on Tuesday, November 11th in observance of Veteran’s Day.  There will be school on Monday, November 10th and school will resume on Wednesday, November 11th.

Here’s to a great week – we’ve got this, Tigers!

Traffic and 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.” 
  • Yellow curbs are for loading and unloading only – cars should not be parked and left unattended.  If you are on a yellow curb, you should be in your vehicle to move as the traffic is moving.
  • 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.

A detailed description of all parking lot expectations with photos was shared last year.  Our families may find it helpful to see the information with photographs – please CLICK HERE to read a detailed description of our parking lot expectations.

Thank you, in advance, for following these expectations and for keeping our students safe.

Here’s to a great first week of Quarter 2 – we’ve got this, Tigers!

Take Care,

Dr. Sutton
