How does my child buy food from the cafeteria?

You can send in money each day, in an envelope or baggie with their name on it. 
 Or you can put money in an account and they can charge their meals.

How do I report an absence?

Call the office (310) 615-2676 x301 the day they are absent.
If you know in advance that your child will be out 5 or 
more days, please go to the office and fill out an Independent Study 
form. Your child will be given work to do and the school can 
still receive ADA funding.

Who is allowed to pick up my child?

If you are not going to pick up your child, please send in a note letting me 
know who will be picking him/her up.  If another person or organization will 
be picking your child up on a regular basis, please add him/her to the emergency 
contact list.

Yes, please let me know when you are available and we can work 
something out.  I have weekly and monthly positions.  Additionally,
you can volunteer in the office workroom.  We will also need 
volunteers for: Parties, field trips, and special occasions.

What is P.T.A.? Should I join?

PTA supports our school in a variety of ways.  Every child 
benefits from the efforts of the PTA.  They fund buses for our 
field trips, school wide assemblies and much more.  If you would 
like to participate in the PTA, they have meeting here at CSS on 
the 3rd Wednesday of the month.
I would love my class to have 100% participation in supporting 
the PTA. Please join me and join the PTA!

What shall I send for my child's snack and lunch?

Please send something they will eat and do not send too much.  
Ideas for snack - yogurt, cheese, fruit, power bars, etc... they 
typically only need 1 item. Please do not send cookies, candy or
treats.
For lunch, a protein, veggie, fruit, drink, and maybe a treat.
Please check with your child on a regular basis to see if they 
like what you ar packing for them, if they need more or less 
food, or if they want to try something new.

Your child is welcome to buy food from the cafeteria.  Please 
check the school website for a monthly calendar of food that 
is available.
