Recently, we have received an increased number of inquiries about extending vacations around this Thanksgiving break, winter recess in December, and February break. Please note that we follow specific attendance policies put in place by the state of California and Evergreen School District. If you are considering extended travel that impacts your child’s attendance at school, please make sure you understand these policies before making travel plans. Additionally, we request that you let our front office know several days prior to your child's absence. For more information on our attendance policy, please refer to this article.

Help us reach our school's goal is to raise $2500 towards the district's goal of $30,000. If we reach our district's goal, that means 60,000 meals for those who need it most in Silicon Valley. Please consider Donating Today. Thank you!
