To help you get started, we've put together a few essential links to get you connected with all the important information you need:

***School begins August 12th 2024***

If you have a newly enrolled student please be sure to fill out a household income form if you have not yet done so.

Submitting this form entitles our school to receive additional Federal and State monies based on the number of eligible students and helps our school in many ways. The more household income forms that are submitted, the more funds our school is eligible to receive. Be assured that the information you provide on the HIF form will be kept completely confidential and will not be used for any other purpose.

Download the YumYummi app and select "Calahan" as a favorite to view a daily and weekly overview of breakfast, lunch, and supper options. This will help you plan your meals and make healthy choices.

Volunteer Application: Please fill out the volunteer application link as soon as possible. It takes time for the office and district office to approve and process your application, so don't wait until last minute!

TB Clearance: Please note that Covid vaccination is no longer a requirement. Instead, we need you to turn in a valid TB clearance test result to the main office. Your TB clearance is valid for 4 years.

Important: Please note that all volunteers must reapply every school year to maintain their approval status. If you applied last school year, it is no longer valid, and you will need to submit a new application to remain an approved volunteer. This is an important step in ensuring the safety and well-being of our students.

Applications for YDP & YS can be found in the main office.

For enrollment with YMCA please reach out to them directly at 818-426-6467.

See link for school layout - drop off/ dismissal gates and times.

Please be sure to inquire about Parent Portal after your student has been enrolled in school. The Parent Portal is a one–stop online system that securely connects parents and guardians to important information about their children at school and you are able to request a device and transportation on the platform.
