Schoolyard Updates: We are excited to announce that our new fence and gate surrounding the playground is fully installed! To help keep all students safe, families will not be allowed to walk through the gated area until 3:15 pm when all students have left the playground with their teachers. Thank you for your assistance. We ask that you walk around to Pershing road instead of cutting through the playing field if you need to be near the K1 exit before 3:15pm. 

CASP: Last Day of CASP both BEFORE & AFTERSCHOOL will be on Thursday, June 23, 2022, our last full day of school. Please direct any questions or concerns to Erika Mercado, Program Director. 

Chromebook Collection: Please be sure your child’s chromebook AND charger are returned to school this week.

Family Activity: For our facebook users, there is a NEW way to connect with the Curley community, we now have a PRIVATE Facebook Group, Curley K-8 School Families!  The group is made up of parents/ caregivers of Curley students as well as Curley teachers, staff members and administrators.  This is a great spot to post information about or seek answers to all things Curley related!  In order to join you have to be a member of the Curley community and agree to the group rules.  We hope you’ll join in on the conversation!

Support for Families with Children with Autism: It is about grants that are open for families who have a child with Autism. https://www.aane.org/resources/family-and-friends/family-grants/

Cafeteria Updates: We are thrilled to announce that we have returned to cooking in our kitchen! There are no more pre-packaged meals! Eat day we are offering hot menu choices as well as a salad bar! Menus are linked here.

Family COVID Protocol Visual: We recognize that processing and understanding COVID protocols is incredibly overwhelming. The Curley Family Engagement Committee created a visual to try to support and help families to better understand what is happening at school and if your child tests positive for COVID 19. We hope you find this useful! If policies change we will update these visuals.
