These vehicles (including a firetruck, ambulance, and/or police car) will be parked in front of our school. Due to this, the front drop-off/pick-up lane in our parking lot will be closed from 8:30 AM to 12:15 PM. If your student arrives late or needs to be picked up during this time, please note that the lane will be closed to through traffic. Please use the parking lot if you need to visit the front office. Thank you for your cooperation in making this event a great learning experience for our students!

Spirit Week Next Week

Mariner Family, After school today you may have noticed emergency vehicles near the intersection of Nuevo Road and A Street. One of our students crossed the street alone in a residential area without using the crosswalk and was struck by a vehicle. Thankfully, the student was not seriously injured and was able to go home safely with his mother after being checked. We called 911 immediately for assistance, and the situation was handled with care. We want to take this opportunity to remind all families to please speak with your children about always using designated crosswalks and following safety rules when walking near traffic. Student safety remains our top priority. With appreciation, Mr. Candelaria, Principal.
