A note from Principal Cabrera
The safety and well-being of our students is always our top priority. In alignment with the Los Angeles Unified School District’s visitor policy, I want to remind all members of our community of the expectations for conduct while on campus.

Visitors, which means anyone on campus that is not staff during school hours, are not permitted to address behavior, or discipline any child other than their own, at any time. All matters regarding student behavior or discipline must be handled by school staff. In addition, visitors are not allowed to verbally address any staff member in a negative manner, nor physically touch any student or staff member in ANY manner - regardless of your intention. 

Any violation of this policy may result in the issuance of a “Disruptive Person Letter” and restriction of campus access. This step is necessary to ensure that our school remains a safe and respectful environment for every child.

We welcome and value our parents and community members, and your support is essential to creating a positive school environment. Thank you for partnering with us to maintain a campus where every student feels safe, respected, and ready to learn. If you have questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out to the main office.

Сахарная лихорадка 500 начинается!

Ежегодная распродажа конфет Gardner стартует на этой неделе! Это одно из двух мероприятий по сбору средств, проводимых учащимися за весь год, и дает детям возможность собрать деньги на школьные программы по искусству, музыке, физкультуре и садоводству, а также выиграть призы. Гарднер продает как See's Candy, так и местный шоколад John Kelly Chocolates. Ребенок, который продаст больше всего, выиграет желанный Кубок Конфет! А в этом году они также выиграют экскурсию на шоколадную фабрику Джона Келли! Ждите официального электронного письма Sugar Rush Start завтра утром, а до тех пор вы можете нажать здесь, чтобы начать продавать See's! И вот здесь начнётся продажа Джона Келли! Заводите моторы, ведь гонка начнется завтра и продлится две недели!
