Principal Young's News:
Happy Sunday! We only have 4 days left of school before summer break! Our last day of school is Friday, June 2nd and the dismissal time is 12:00 p.m. Have a terrific and safe summer break! This is my final Eagle Update for this school year. Thank you for a lovely first year at Vista. You all have made me feel so welcome and appreciated!
What a wonderful school year we all had together! We were able to bring back so many activities that took place at Vista before COVID and it's been amazing to see our students learn, grow and thrive this year! Thank you to our parents, guardians and families for all of their support this year. We truly appreciate everything you do for our school community!
Please mark your calendars for the first day of the 2023-2024 school year:

*Last day of school schedule; out at 12:00 p.m.
Sandals/Open-Toed Shoes & Pajamas to School:
Please do not send your child to school in open-toed shoes or sandals. There have been quite a few injuries when students wear sandals or open-toed shoes to school. Also, students should not wear pajamas to school, UNLESS it is a Pajama Day.
Cough and/or Fever & Returning to School Protocol:
Please remember, if your student has a fever, cough, difficulty breathing, and/or loss of taste and/or smell, our District's COVID protocol requires a negative COVID test in order to return to school. Please email a picture of the negative test to our office clerk, Mrs. Heide at heiderose.schoenmank@simivalleyusd.org.
Cooler Weather in the Forecast: As the weather gets cooler these next months ahead, please make sure your child has a sweatshirt, sweater, or jacket for school. The early mornings can be chilly when students arrive to school and the wind seems to change throughout the day.
Lost & Found News: Please LABEL all of your child's sweaters, sweatshirts, jackets, water bottles, backpacks and lunch bags. We have quite a collection of LOST items that are located at the front of the school, outside of the office. After 3 weeks of collecting LOST items, we will be making a donation to a local charity organization as it is just too many LOST items that do not get picked up. Please stop by the front of the office and check the Lost & Found rack.
Neighbors and Trash:
It has been brought to my attention by a few neighbors that a lot of trash is accumulating at the sidewalks and front yards of neighbors' houses. Please help keep the neighborhood clean by throwing away your garbage. Thank you!
Daily Attendance:
Please call the school office at (805) 520-6750 to report your child's absence. Parents and guardians have up to 5 days to report their student's absence, otherwise, the absence becomes a truancy/unexcused absence.
School Start Time and Gates:
Our gates open at 7:40 a.m. each day.
Students eating breakfast can enter the front gate of the school starting at 7:35 a.m.
The first bell rings at 7:55 a.m. Teachers and students should be at their classroom line by the 7:55 a.m. bell.
The tardy bell rings at 8:00 a.m. If students enter the gates after 8:00 a.m., they will be considered tardy.
*Starting these healthy life habits of being on time, sets your student up for success.
