MIDDLE SCHOOL AFTER-SCHOOL PROGRAM UPDATE
We are happy to share that beginning in the 26-27 school year, Elevate will assume responsibility for operating the after-school program at our Middle School campus. Champions will continue to provide before and after-school care at our SM campus, as well as after-school care at our TS campus.
The Middle School after-school program will have a capacity of 30 students. To help us gauge interest and communicate updates, we encourage interested families to join the interest list available here.

| STUDENT ORIENTATION - Aug 10 |

Mark your calendars! We hope all of our students and families will join us for one of Elevate's most special back-to-school traditions—Student Orientation on Monday, August 10 across all three campuses.
This exciting event is a wonderful opportunity for students to meet their teacher, drop off school supplies, take a self-guided campus tour, and learn more about the different programs and opportunities available at Elevate. Families can connect with staff, ask questions, and start the school year feeling informed and prepared. There will also be a Uniform Exchange table where you can look through gently-used uniforms for your student.
We can't wait to welcome you back and kick off another amazing school year together!

New Volunteer Training Requirement for 2026–27
We love having our families involved at Elevate, and we want to make it easy for you to be ready before the first bell! Under a new California law, Senate Bill 848, adult volunteers who work with students are now required to complete Mandated Reporter Training. This training helps all of us recognize and respond to signs that a child may need support which is an important part of keeping every Elevate student safe.
The good news: the training is free, online, and self-paced (about two hours), so you can complete it over the summer and be cleared and ready on day one.

 Shop, support, and soar with Golden Eagle pride! 10% of all Spirit Store sales goes directly back to The Elevate School Foundation (TESF) to support Elevate's mission and create meaningful opportunities for our students.
Plus, students are encouraged to wear their Golden Eagle or Elevate Logo'd T-shirts every Friday (with their typical uniform bottoms).
