Dear Las Lomitas Families,

Welcome back! I hope you all had a wonderful vacation and are ready to get back into the school routine.

The Las Lomitas Read-a-thon starts today! Each student received an information packet today in the Monday envelope. Please read the instructions carefully, set a daily reading time and start soliciting pledges. You can begin reading today even if you have not secured all your sponsorships. If you need extra copies of the materials you can download a packet at http://www.laslomitaspta.org/readathon. If you have questions, please contact Dana Nunn at dananunn@yahoo.com. This year we've planned some special activities to keep enthusiasm high. Each Wednesday a student will read aloud to all of us over the school intercom, and I will give some clues about a book character. Each Friday I will come dressed at that week's book character. It should be a lot of fun! Please support your child, and the school, by reading each day. We may even break our lofty goal of 400,000 minutes!

In December's Roar, I outlined the process to request a session change. If you have questions about that, our new Young Fives program or kindergarten registration, please go to http://www.llesd.k12.ca.us/llhome.html and click on New Students.

As we return to school, I want to remind you about arrival times. Supervision for first session students begins at 8:30. Students should not arrive before 8:30 unless you are here for a meeting or there are unique circumstances. Supervision for second session students begins at 10:15. Again, you should not arrive early unless there are unique circumstances. If you do arrive early, students must wait quietly with a parent in the flag pole area until the bell rings. Classes are in session; please do not disturb. No students are to be dropped off at the flagpole before 10:15 without an adult to supervise. Thank you for your cooperation to help us keep students safe and school environment conducive for learning.

Until next time, 

Sue Sartor

Principal

Safety Tip:  Thank you for leaving your pets at home during arrival and dismissal.  Your cooperation makes a big difference - we noticed!

Starting on Jan. 9, 2012, we will be consistently closing the office at 4 p.m. Office hours are 8 a.m. - 4 p.m., however, staff often stay over contracted hours to stay with students who are waiting for parents to pick them up after school or for the bus to return them to school.

Our new process will be:

• If your child is not picked up promptly at 3:30 p.m., the secretary will call to remind you to pick up your child.
• Students who are still waiting at 3:50 p.m. will be walked over to the Children's Creative Learning Center (CCLC) on the northwest corner of campus. The secretary will provide CCLC staff with your child's emergency information and their staff will supervise your child until you arrive. CCLC's fee is $2 per minute.
• Students who are on the 3:30 p.m. bus and need to be returned to school will be driven to the District Office at 1011 Altschul Ave. instead where district staff will supervise until a parent arrives. You can call the district office directly at 650-854-6311 to confirm your child is there.
• If you need to confirm your child is on the bus, you should call 650-854-6311 and speak with a district office staff member who will contact the bus driver directly. Do not call Las Lomitas secretaries to contact the bus drivers after 3:30 pm. It is more efficient for the district office staff to radio the drivers.

This process applies only to the 3:30 p.m. dismissal. Thank you in advance for promptly retrieving your child after school and being respectful of our office staff's working hours.
