Hello Bonsall West parents!

We are so proud of all of our students and their amazing entries! There was a lot of competition. There were over 160 entrants!

Lunch on the lawn will be rescheduled to April 14th. Thank you for your understanding!

Our front office doors are locked during the school day for student safety. Please make sure to send your child with all the items they will need during the day to decrease the amount of foot traffic in the front office. In addition, if your child will be leaving early during the school day for an appointment, please email your child's teacher and call ahead to the office so your child will be ready for you when you arrive. Thank you!

Great news! Our school was one of 63 schools selected statewide for the Purple Star Award for our work supporting military connected students. The California Department of Education (CDE) is pleased to announce the California Purple Star Program. The Purple Star Program is a way to publicly recognize and designate schools that are the most committed and best equipped to meet the unique needs of military-connected students and their families. Our school/district will celebrate this award with a ceremony on 3/30 from 6-7 p.m. at Bonsall West. More details to follow. We are in need of student singers for this event. If your child is available to sing, 'God Bless the USA' by Lee Greenwood that evening, please let your child's teacher of the school office know.

We will have an online book fair event through Scholastic. Please see the flyer below.

On Friday, March 17th, we will be Presenting Our Annual Bonsall West Variety Show, “Mixed Tape”. The show will take place during school hours in our auditorium.
