Electronic Device Reminder

San Diego Unified, along with many other school districts in California and across the country, has implemented strict policies regarding the use of electronic devices in schools. Cell phones must be turned off and kept out of sight during the instructional program. They may only be used outside the school gates before the first bell (7:35 AM) or after dismissal (2:10 PM). Please note that earbuds, headphones, and smartwatches are not allowed at TK-8 schools and should remain at home. Under California Education Code Section 51512, the unauthorized use of electronic listening or recording devices in K-12 classrooms is strictly prohibited. As we approach state testing for grades 3–5, these devices pose a significant risk; their use can not only impact the individual student but can also have serious security implications for the entire school's testing results. We appreciate your partnership in ensuring all cell phones are put away and that earbuds, headphones, and smartwatches stay at home.

Registration for 2026-2027🏫📋

Parents of currently enrolled students should log in to their PowerSchool Parent Portal and complete the new form named Student Registration for Next Year to let us know if your student will be returning to any SDUSD school next year for 2026-27. All returning families must complete the Student Registration for Next Year form by the end of day (11:59 p.m.) on Friday, May 8, 2026. Even if you are not returning to a SDUSD, please complete by indicating this to update our records. The more accurate records are now, the less likely we will need to make enrollment/class changes at the start of the new year.  See Detailed Instructions Here.

Primetime for 2026-2027

The enrollment window for all San Diego Unified Primetime programs will be from Monday, 4/20/26, through Friday, 5/1/26. A text will be sent to the primary parent/guardian’s cell phone. To ensure you receive this please verify and update the cell number found in your child/children’s Power School account via the Parent Portal. Click HERE for more information. Please reach out to the Extended Learning Opportunities Department with any questions, as our school does not handle any Primetime enrollment. 

Need to Report an Absence? 🤒

Communication with our Attendance Clerk, Ms Shauna, is important if your student is absent for any reason. Per San Diego Unified policy, if you do not report the reason for the absence to the office within 5 school days, even if it was for an excused reason (illness, medical or dental appointments, funeral services, military ceremonies, etc) it will automatically be changed to an unexcused absence. Please be sure to report the reason for the absence every time. You can do this 24/7 either online or by phone @ 619-605-3200 Option 1.
