ELEVATE NEWS:
Your Guide to What's Happening at School
Our Elevate News is more than a newsletter—it’s the primary communication hub for what's going on at Elevate School. During the school year, each week you’ll find important updates, key dates, student and campus highlights, volunteer opportunities, and resources designed to help your family stay informed and engaged.

>> We encourage all families to take a few minutes each week to review our Elevate News so you don’t miss important information or opportunities to connect with our school community.

This summer, you will receive two Summer Editions of the Elevate News (this is your first one), along with a Back-to-School edition in August. Be on the lookout for these updates—we want to ensure you and your student feel prepared, supported, and ready for a strong start to the school year.

Please note that forms from the previous school year do not carry over and must be renewed annually. Completed forms may be faxed to (619) 839-3700, emailed to info@elevateschool.com, or submitted to the school office when the medication is brought to campus.

7th GRADE REQUIRED BOOSTER
California Health Laws require that students entering the 7th grade must have a Tetanus, Diphtheria, Pertussis (Tdap) booster, given after age 7, prior to entering the 7th grade. Your child must have the Tdap vaccine before the first day of school in order to attend. Read more.
