ATTENDANCE MATTERS
Regular student attendance plays a critical role in our collective mission to ensure every student achieves their fullest potential. Why Attendance Should Be a Top Priority:
1. Academic Achievement: Regular attendance is fundamental to student success. Each school day is a building block in the learning process. Consistent attendance helps students keep up with coursework, understand key concepts, and perform better academically.
2. Social and Emotional Development: School is a place where students develop crucial social skills and emotional resilience. Frequent absences can hinder their ability to form strong relationships with peers and teachers, impacting their overall development.
3. Future Opportunities: Consistent attendance is linked to higher graduation rates and better long-term outcomes, including higher education and career prospects. By prioritizing attendance, we are directly contributing to students' future success.
4. School Culture: Regular attendance fosters a positive school culture and enhances the learning environment for everyone. It creates a sense of community and ensures that all students have equal access to the resources and support they need.
Community School Corner
The next Community Schools Advisory Council Meeting and School Site Council Meeting is scheduled for Wednesday, December 2, 2026 at 3:00 pm in Room 2. Your input is needed for these meetings. If you have any questions, please contact the school office 760-432-2495.
FAMILY ENGAGEMENT
November is Family Engagement Month! It is a time to celebrate the important role families play in their children’s learning and to build strong partnerships between families and schools. Over 35 years of research shows that when families and schools work together, students are more likely to be successful in school. Throughout the month of November, we celebrate and strengthen family-school partnerships by listening to families, building on the strengths, knowledge, and experiences they bring to our school communities, and finding meaningful ways to work together for student success. When families and schools come together as one team, we are stronger together.
English Learner Advisory Committee (ELAC)
Join us for our 2nd ELAC meeting of the school year this Tuesday at 8:30am in room 24.
If your student(s) is a an English Learner come learn with us about the reclassification process/requirements and how to support your student's academic progress.

-Advising the principal and staff in the development of a site plan for English learners and submitting the plan to the School Site Council for consideration of inclusion in the School Plan for Student Achievement.
