Early Education Enrollment is OPEN - New Student Enrollment is now open for Transitional Kindergarten, Kindergarten, and Special Education Preschool. EUSD offers a full-day Transitional Kindergarten program to bridge the path between Preschool and Kindergarten. For the 2026-2027 school year, children are eligible for TK if their date of birth is between September 2, 2021, and September 1, 2022. Students applying for Kindergarten must be age 5 on or before September 1, 2026. Students in EUSD TK and Kindergarten programs are eligible to participate in their school’s optional Expanded Learning program.

For questions regarding Special Education Preschool or about your student’s Special Education needs for next school year, contact the team at spedsupport@eusd.org.
Parent Contact Information - Parents, if your contact information has changed (phone numbers, email address, mailing address, emergency contacts, etc), please inform our office staff as soon as possible. We need to ensure that we have your most current information in case of student emergencies.
Resources for Food Assistance - We want to make sure families are aware of local resources that offer free food and support for those who may need it. Here are a few options available in our community:
Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions or need help connecting with these resources.
Safe Driving/Neighbor Driveways - Parents, we have seen an increase in families not adhering to the speed limits, traffic signals, and parking lot signs in and around the school in addition to drivers blocking the driveways of our school neighbors. It is imperative for everyone’s safety that you safely drive to school and be respectful of the homes of our neighbors.
Parking Lot Exit - As a reminder, during arrival and dismissal, drivers may only turn right out of our school parking lot. Thank you for your cooperation and support regarding this very important expectation.
Independent Study/Leaves - Families, if you know your student will be absent for several days due to a planned trip or event, please notify the office at least two weeks in advance. Your student can be placed on independent study during their leave to receive credit for their absences, however, but our office and teacher will need time to prepare the required materials. Thank you.
YMCA Early Release Reminder - Students enrolled in the YMCA program are expected to participate in the full day program every day per CA State Legislature and Education Code. Early release sign out begins at 4:00 pm. Parents/guardians of students enrolled in the YMCA have received notification with a reminder of these guidelines.
Yearbooks! - Make This Year Unforgettable! Don’t miss your chance to relive all the laughter, fun, and memories from this school year! Grab your yearbook and see all your friends’ smiling faces (and maybe even a funny photo or two). Order yours today before they’re gone!

If you have any additional questions/concerns, call our health office to speak to the nurse at 760-432-2495. Office Hours: 7:30-4:00 pm. Does your student require medication during school or on field trips? Please ask your doctor to complete the Medication Authorization Form in its entirety (ex: Medication, Dose, Route, Time, Diagnosis) and return to the health office with the prescribed medication.
Volunteer POD - Parents, we need your help. We are once again starting up our weekly Volunteer POD. This will take place on Wednesdays, in room 24. Volunteering your time impacts our school community in amazing ways! We hope you will be able to join us starting at 8:00 AM.
Join our PTA! - Our fabulous PTA needs your support! Membership is $10 per family and flyers were sent home last week. The PTA, or the Parent Teacher Association, is a network of parents, teachers, administrators, and community volunteers devoted to the educational success of our students and the promotion of family engagement in our school. The PTA sponsors and organizes family events, plans fundraisers, and funds programs such as art assemblies. In every endeavor, our PTA volunteers work together to enrich the lives of our students.
Breakfast and Lunch Menus: All EUSD students have access to no-cost breakfast and lunch. Families can view our new online menus. Select your school and menu to see what is being served every day.
That is all for now - have a great week!
