Home Lunch Drop Off for Grades 1-5

We highly encourage you to send your Bulldog to school with their lunch at morning drop off.

Home lunches brought after your student has started school must be dropped off by 10:45 a.m. No exceptions. Your student's lunch should be clearly labeled with first name, last name, and room number. Since TK students do not have lunch at school, home lunches are unable to be dropped off for them.

Your child will be offered a school lunch if they don't have their lunch.
 

Student Absences

Please contact the school's absence line, day or night, at 510-657-3537 and then press 7. Please be sure to state: 1)your student's first and last name, 2)student's classroom number, 3)reason for the absence, 4)your name and relationship to the student.
If these absences are not cleared by a parent/guardian within 48 hours, they will be considered unexcused. Excessive absences and/or tardies, excused or unexcused, may result in a truancy warning.
Make-up work may be requested on the second consecutive day of a student's illness.
