Dear Parents and Guardians,

Welcome to the 2008-2009 School year at Los Alamitos Elementary School.  We are proud to be a Blue Ribbon School.

The first day of school is Tuesday, August 26, 2008.  Please call the office at 535-6297 if your student is not able to attend on the first day of school.  Your child will be dropped by Friday, August 29th if we have not heard from you. 
 
The daily schedule is as follows:

Kindergarten         8:55 a.m. to 12:55 p.m.

Grades 1-3            8:55 a.m. to 3:05 p.m.

Grades 4-5            8:55 to 3:07 p.m.
 
Please be on time, drive slowly and safely during drop off and pick up.  Please utilize the valet service, or the designated drop off/pick up areas, or if possible walk to school.  Traffic can be hectic even dangerous during those times.  We want to keep
our students safe.
 
Class list and the kindergarten assessment times will be posted in the office window on Friday, August 22nd at 4:00 p.m. in the office window.  All assignments will be tentative until enrollment stabilizes.
 
All students are required to wear uniforms.  Uniform and school supply information is posted in the window, and on this website.

A hot cafeteria lunch is available for students in grades 1-5.  The price for the lunch including milk is $2.75.  If ten or more lunches are purchased in advanced, a free lunch is added to their account.  Students may also purchase milk separately for
$.50.  Food Services will be available on the first day of school.  Breakfast is not available at Los Alamitos.  

If your child utilizes the transportation system, you will receive information directly from transportation.  If you have questions regarding transportation, please call 535-6185.  Your child MUST wear a bus identification pass daily.
 
We look forward to working with each of you this school year, and I especially want to welcome our families new to Los Alamitos. We look forward to working with you for the education of your children. I am confident we will have a fantastic year.
