Hey Families, Bernardo needs you! We are beginning the process of electing members for our School Site Council (SSC) for this 2025-2026 school year. The SSC consists of parents, teachers, and support staff, who meet on-line just four times a year, to consider the needs of all students, evaluate the progress of the school's educational program, develop, review, and update the School Site Plan and School Safety Plan, on the following dates: Oct. 15, Jan. 21., Mar. 18., and June 3
If you are interested to serve on our SSC, please click on the link below. Nominations are due no later than 3:00 pm, Friday, September 19. If more than 5 parents are nominated, an electronic vote will take place.
If you have any questions about School Site Council, please contact our Family Liaison, Adriana Carpio, at acarpio@eusd.org.
So don't make anything for lunch or dinner, just head on out right after Early Dismissal to 1282 Auto Park Way, Escondido, CA 92029.
To participate and make it count, make sure to show the flyer during checkout at the store or order online using Code: FUNDRAISER
Friendly Reminder: No Cell Phones/Apple Watches Allowed!
Parents, as noted in our Parent Handbook (linked below), during the school day, student cell phones are to be turned off and stored in backpacks. Smart watches need to be set to "School Mode" so they cannot send/receive text messages during the school day. If your student brings a cell phone or smartwatch to school, please help them understand they are here to learn. If the calls continue, students may be asked not to wear them at school. Thank you parents for all your support!
