IN-PERSON DROP-OFF & PICKUP is going great! Thank you, parents, for being patient and yielding to traffic volunteers, students and parents walk into school. 


SPEEDING continues to be a constant problem along Coleman Road. Please help us reduce this problem by lowering your speed to below the 25 MHP zone around the school.

Guadalupe Garden CLEAN UP

The Girl Scouts and Boy Scouts are seeking Guadalupe Families help during Spring Break to help clean up the Guadalupe Garden. There is plenty of weeding and planting to be done. Mr. Jones and Mr. Francisco worked during the pandemic to keep vegetables growing, but now it's time to make it a great place for your student to learn and experiment again. 


For more information on the cleanup or if you have some free time during Spring Break, please SIGNUP TO HELP CLEANUP the Community Garden. Guadalupe parent Tahnee Mehmet is lead gardner for this project. You can also email questions to norcalgs60813@gmail.com.
