------------------------------------------------  

Thank you again to all of the amazing volunteers who made it all happen from Enrich LA, Cheremoya Elementary School Parents and teachers, Cheremoya Foundation Members, Northland Village Church, Gay for Good, Hollywood Orchard. The video is up of our awesome Cheremoya Elementary School Makeover. Over 100 people volunteered to get this project rolling. Please watch and spread the word!

Reminder:  Pre-K and Kindergarten students (along with their siblings) are dismissed from the Beachwood gate.  Grades 1-6 students are dismissed from the 2 Cheremoya gates (one for valet pick-up, the other for walking students).  Parents, please wait outside the gates, as the procedure allows for a safer dismissal system.  Please do not make U-Turns or cross the street without a crosswalk- it is for your child's safety.  

Thank you for your cooperation and patience in helping us maintain district safety policies.  

Parents, please note that the "Closed Campus" policy means that during school hours, our campus is "closed," with all doors & gates locked.  This is to ensure the safety of our students.  This also means that parents (unless they are volunteering) may NOT stay on campus during school hours.  Once the bell rings at 8:05 parents may not stay on the playground, patio, or hallways to peek into classrooms.  We understand it is exciting to see your child in class, but it can be distracting to their learning, and it is against LAUSD safety compliances for you to be there.  

If you are volunteering in classrooms, you MUST SIGN-IN AND SIGN-OUT at the office, no matter how long your visit.  According to district policy, any volunteer who stays longer than 16 hours per week must register fingerprints with the district.  

Thank you for understanding this policy.  We at Cheremoya value the safety and learning of your children, and would appreciate your cooperation in this matter.
