Welcome Parents!
New school start times for 2022-2023
A new law, Senate Bill 328 (SB 328), requires school districts to start the school day no earlier than 8:30 a.m. for high schools and 8:00 a.m. for junior high schools. Due to the correlation between elementary and secondary transportation routes and nutrition services, some elementary bell schedules are also affected. See the new start times and please check ParentSquare for implementation updates.

Dental Check-ups Required for Your Child
California law (Education Code Section 49452.8) states your child must have a dental check-up by May 31 of his/her first year in public school. A California licensed dental professional operating within their scope of practice must perform the check-up and fill out Section 2 of the Oral Health Assessment Form. If your child had a dental check-up in the 12 months before he/she starts school, ask your dentist to fill out Section 2. If you are unable to get a dental check-up for your child, fill out Section 3. Return this form to the school no later than May 31 of your child’s
first school year.
