Red Ribbon Week
Red Ribbon Week is happening next week! Each year, schools around the country mobilize to educate youth and encourage participation in drug prevention activities. As an Elementary School, the Aspen staff and PFA have decided to focus our teachings on promoting a healthy and active lifestyle. This year Red Ribbon Week will take place from October 23rd - 27th and our theme is “Happy and Healthy”. Aspen students will be participating in a variety of fun and educational activities throughout the week that emphasize the importance of physical health and emotional well-being.
One thing that students and staff can look forward to is a whole week of fun dress-up days. Here is the schedule for each day:
Monday 10/23: Happy and Healthy
Wear RED to help kickoff RRW
Tuesday 10/24: Mismatch Day
Mix and match patterns of clothing
Wednesday 10/25: Jersey Day
‘Sport’ your favorite team shirt or jersey
Thursday 10/26: Crazy Hair Day
Rock a Funky/Funny Hair-Do
Friday 10/27: Tie-Dye Day

Parking Lot Safety
The following guidelines will assist us in keeping our students safe in the parking lot:
- Proceed in the Aspen parking lot at no more than 5 miles per hour.
- Walk with your child across the parking lot using the marked crosswalk.
- Do not allow your child to walk unattended between cars.
- Stay in the right hand lane, move all the way forward, and drop your student off from the right side of the vehicle.
- Never leave your vehicle unattended in the drive-thru lanes.
- Follow the California Vehicle Code laws.
- Remind your child to respect people’s property.
Consider the following:
- You may pull up to the curb at the front of the school to drop off your student.
- You may park on the street on Oberlin or Marlowe and walk your student on campus.
- Please do not block driveways.
- Be mindful of labeled No Parking zones near the crosswalks.
- The gates at the front of the school will be open for entry and exit. There will not be access through the gate on Marlowe.
- Arrange with your student ahead of time a location for pickup.
