Ready? Set. Go! Phase 1 of our parking lot campaign is ready to launch on May 23rd!  The focus of Phase 1 will be on student safety.  Check your student’s blue folder for a diagram of the dismissal area.  Explorer Families, here are a few details and ways you can help:

  • Please let your students know where they are going after school (BASE, walking or car pick-up). If this changes for some reason, call the school office at (916) 567-5760.
  • Pick up walkers from their line at their dismissal time.
  • Car pick-up and BASE pick-up will remain the same

Math Monday: Participate in Math Monday HERE.
