Message from Mrs. Kesselring regarding classroom parties and office drop offs
This is a reminder that you must be volunteer cleared to be in the classrooms for parties. This is to reduce student and staff exposure to Tuberculosis and individuals who have not been fingerprinted through Lucia Mar Unified, which is then ran through the Department of Justice. We understand that this week will be busy with dropping off supplies to classrooms for various projects. The office staff will be happy to deliver them for you. This will reduce interruption during instructional time. If you are a cleared volunteer and coming into the classrooms this week, please make sure you have set up your time with the classroom teacher. If you are a cleared volunteer bringing a sibling of school age or younger, this also should be cleared by the classroom teacher beforehand. Lucia Mar Unified and Grover Heights value your children's safety and we thank you for complying to these safety standards.
Attendance and Absences
If your child misses a day of school, please notify the office with the reason for their absence.
