NEW LOS CERRITOS WEBSITE COMING SOON!

We are excited to share that on Friday, October 28th we will be launching a brand new website for our school!

This website has a beautiful new design, is mobile friendly, user-friendly and will allow us to continue to highlight all the great things happening at our school. While we plan to hit the “launch” button on Friday, October 28th - it may take up to 48 hours for the website transition to complete. During this time it is possible that the website load time may be slow and/or non-responsive. Please plan ahead, in case there are items you plan to access on our websites during the weekend of October 29th and 30th. We look forward to welcoming you to our new website!
