From the Nurse - Winter Weather brings coughs, colds, and the FLU. EUSD and CDC guidelines advise to be able to return to school and resume normal activities when, for at least 24 hours, both are true: You have not had a fever (and are not using fever-reducing medication).* and your symptoms are getting better overall.
TIPS TO STAY HEALTHY:
Stay home when you are sick
Wash hands often
Cover mouth and nose when sneezing or coughing
Avoid touching your eyes, nose, or mouth
Please remember to call the attendance office when your child is sick
Any questions, please contact the nurse at 760-432-2495 ext. 22841

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.
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.
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!
