Hi Aspen Families!
Here are some updates and important information for the upcoming week:
No School- Friday (11/11)
Highlight of the Week
Trex Plastic Film Recycling Challenge
Who’s up for a challenge?? Aspen is joining the nationwide Trex Plastic Film Recycling Challenge to see which elementary school in the Western region can recycle the most plastic film through April 22, 2023 (Earth Day)! You can help our school win a high-quality recycled composite bench and/or a cash prize by dropping off CLEAN and DRY plastic film in the designated bin located in the Aspen courtyard. See the attached flyers for details regarding what can be included in the bins.
Please spread the word to your neighbors and local businesses (dry cleaners, restaurants, moving companies, etc.) who may be interested in supporting Aspen’s environmental campaign! #TrexRecyclingChallenge #Recycle2Win

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.
