Principal Message

Welcome to the 2024-2025 school year!! We look forward to welcoming our newest students to Toyon Elementary School and welcoming back our returning Toyon Tigers. The staff at Toyon has been hard at work preparing for students’ arrival on Thursday, August 15th.
 
Start of School
 
Class assignments will be posted on our Flexible Instructional Space Windows (across from the main office) by 4:00 PM on Wednesday, August 14th. Our first two days of school will be minimum days, both Thursday and Friday, August 14-15 the school day will be as follows:
 
  • TK: 8:15am-12:45pm
  • Kinder: 8:15 am-1:00pm
  • First - Third Grade: 8:15am-1:10pm
  • Fourth-Fifth Grade: 8:00am-1:10pm
  • Pre School teachers will reach out to their families to inform you of start and pick up times.
 
Student Placement
 
Careful consideration was given to placing each student into classes with input from staff  as well as student learning styles. Classrooms have been balanced academically and socially. Our classes are structured to provide equitable class sizes at each grade level in both single grade and combo grade classes. Moving students is difficult without causing imbalances and inequities.
 
Thank you so much for being positive with your child and helping him or her understand that it is impossible to place all students with a preferred best friend or teacher. ALL of our staff works hard to make school a positive experience for ALL students. Toyon Elementary is eagerly looking forward to enriching your child’s life. Thank you for understanding that it can take a few weeks for a child to acclimate to a new grade, peer group and teacher.
