Parent Center
There are many ways to become an active participant in our vibrant school community. We encourage you to attend our parent workshops, celebrations, and all parent conferences so that you are informed about your child's effort and achievement and well-equipped to support your child's success.
You may also join and volunteer with one of the following parent groups: English Language Advisory Council (ELAC), School Site Council (SSC), and Parent-Teacher Association (PTA). School volunteers must apply at the school and meet basic health and safety requirements to ensure the well-being of all students and staff.
Workshops
During the school year we will be presenting a number of classes for parents on subjects that range from reading and writing, LAUSD A-G requirements, to creating a good homework environment and nurturing creativity and independence. Other topics that may be covered at the workshops include CELDT Assessment Information, Developing Young Writers, Supporting Reading at Home, Common Core Mathematics, Gifted and Talented Students, School Report Card, and Technology.
Consider attending one of our parent education, Title 1, or Magnet workshops where you will learn different ways to help your child achieve academic excellence. Watch for information throughout the year.
Classroom Visits
Parents and guardians are welcome to visit your child's classroom. You must check in at the main office, sign in, get authorization from the principal/designee, and get a Visitor's Pass before going to your child's room. It is District policy that you keep the frequency and duration of your visits reasonable. Visitations will not be approved if the time or nature of the visit conflicts with instruction or safety.
Do not talk to your child, any children, or the teacher while observing. Do not cause any interruption or disruption to the instructional program. Refrain from taking photographs or recordings. Please exit the classroom when requested by school personnel.
School Property, Textbooks, and Library Books
Parents are held financially responsible for damage to any school property caused by their children (for example: textbooks, library books, bathroom fixtures, doors, tables, etc.). Please discuss the importance of treating school property with care and respect.
All personal items, such as sweaters, coats, and jackets, lunch boxes, etc. should be labeled with the child's first and last name in permanent marker. Please do not allow your child to bring valuable items or large sums of money to school. Please encourage your child to visit the Lost and Found area located in the Multipurpose Room/Cafeteria during recess, lunch and after school for lost items. Unclaimed items will be donated to charity at the end of each reporting period.
