Please be advised that, effective February 22, 2010, our District Food Service policy changed. We will extend 3 meals on credit and thereafter offer an alternative lunch (graham crackers, fruit and milk) to students who do not have payment. All future food purchases must be paid for at the time of purchase or pre-paid in advance on account.  You may pay via cash or check. You can also pay by credit card by going to www.mylunchmoney.com (an automatic payment option is also available here).  Remember to include your student’s ID number with your payment.

Attention 5th grade parents, Parras Middle School will be hosting a Parent Information Night on Tuesday, March 16, 2010 starting at 5:30pm for incoming 6th grade parents. The presentation will be held in the Parras auditorium.  Please plan on attending this event as your child child winds down their time as an Alta Vista Wildcat and moves on to be a Parras Panther.

This year, the RBUSD is facing a $3 Million Dollar budget deficit!  Your help is needed because it takes a whole community to educate our children.  Get into Club 360 --Join the Redondo Beach Education Foundation in funding critical programs by donating $360 - that's jsut $2 per school day! With a donation of $360 per family now, or $30 per month for 12 months ($360), we can exceed our goal of raising $200, 000 by April 1st 2010. Your donations are fully tax deductable as the RBEF is a non-profit, 501 (c) (3) corporation, Tax ID # 33-0470935.  EVERY dollar benefits our students!

Please donate what you can.  To make a donation to Club 360, to read about what RBEF funded last year and where your money will go, please visit the RBEF website at www.rbef.org.

As a reminder, Municipal Code Sec -5-1-602 prohibits dogs from being on school grounds.  We respectfully request that you please do not bring your family pet on or near campus during school hours, specifically during student drop-off and pick-up.  We thank you in advance for cooperation as we work together to make our campus a safer place.
