Air Quality Concerns
Once again, due to the air quality, Proctor will have inside recess, and inside PE likely through the week. We will be checking the air quality through the day and the week to advise our actions, as the Air Quality Index numbers continue to fluctuate. We will be keeping a close eye on students with asthma and respiratory problems.
See CVUSD website for additional details, and monitor the air quality yourself for your own health at: www.purpleair.com

Parking Lot Safety!
As we enter into this new week before the beginning of the holiday season, I'd like to remind you of the parking lot rules and procedures we have set forth in our Proctor Student/Parent Handbook. It has recently come to my attention, that there have been some near misses with a student almost being struck by a vehicle last week, and a teacher's car being clipped due to cars driving through the center parking lot island. This is unsafe, and cannot happen moving forward.
Parents/Drivers Rules:
- Please do not park in any red zones on campus or around the school campus on Redwood Road and Proctor
Drivers must wait for students in the inside lane while circling the parking lot and then proceed to the outside lane for loading.
- Drivers may only stop to pick-up students in the loading area along the white curb. Please pull all the forward to allow for more cars to use this space behind you.
- Students may NOT walk unattended to a vehicle in the parking lot. If you have a medical limitation and need assistance, notify the office.
- Drivers must NOT drive through the center Parking Lot Island, as there is a walking crosswalk in the center of this space for students and parents to safely walk through to their parked vehicle. Please back out of your parking space, and drive around the island towards exit.
- Drivers must follow California Traffic Laws such as:
- No cell phone usage
- Be a role model: use the cross-walk at all times in the parking lot
- Avoid parking in red zones
- Avoid double parking
- Stop for pedestrians in cross walks
- Follow the right of way laws
- Be courteous to other drivers, pedestrians and staff
This week, I will also be out during the afternoon pick-up to help enforce these rules as the safety of our students, parents, and staff is one of my top priorities.
Help the Fire Victims!
Please bring your donated items to the office. Thank You!
