Elementary Picture Day
On Tuesday, September 29, students have their school pictures taken on campus. Please see the details below:
- You can drive, walk, bike, or scooter.
- Parents/Students will be directed to one of the two drop-off points by a school employee. (MPR or Gym)
- Student(s) will exit the vehicle and follow the directions of the school employee. Every participant will be screened before entry and must be wearing a mask.
- After dropping off your child, parents will be directed to move forward where they will meet their child who will be exiting the MPR or Gym.
- Students/Parents should remember that this is their picture for the yearbook.
- Please see the flyer to the left with additional details.
- We understand the assigned time frames may be within normal instructional cohorts. Teachers are aware some students may be joining opposite cohorts as a result. You may adjust your arrival to pictures as necessary should you not be able to make it a the assigned time.
- Parents of younger students may accompany them into the Gym or MPR but must remain out of the picture area. Every student/parent will be screened prior to entering the school.

Work Space Reminders
- Cell phones should be removed from their rooms/workspace as older students are using them during instructional time. (Playing games, Snapchatting, TicToc, using apps such as Photo Math, etc.) Please remind them that cell phones should not be used during instructional hours. This will help students remain focused on their learning.
- Students should be working at a dedicated workspace such as a desk, table, or counter free of distractions. (Toys, Siblings, Phones, etc.)
- Make sure your device is charged, we have found students are benefiting from using headphones as this allows them to only hear the teacher during learning.
- As a parent, please make sure you have paired yourself with your child's Canvas account using the app. If you have not done so please Click here and follow the directions below. In the upper right-hand corner, you will “Click here for an Account”. Your child will have to go on their Canvas account under settings and send you an “Observer Pairing Code” that you will put into your parent canvas account.
Yearbook Orders
The Yearbook planning for this school year has started. We are excited about the events ahead and for a fantastic book of memories in June. We are publishing with the same company, Cornerstone Photography, and the price for this year has not changed. The cost of the Yearbook is $35.00 (August through December 18, 2020), and then it will increase to $40.00 (beginning January 4, 2021 through March 31, 2021).
The Yearbook ALWAYS sells out on the last day of school, so please don’t forget to “pre-order”.
Please attach your payment to this form, and place in an envelope. There will be a dropbox in the office foyer for yearbook monies.
Any questions, contact the front office at (805) 498-1573.
Please see the order form here or the image to the right.
