Through these service projects, students will develop leadership potential, foster the development of strong moral character, and build loyalty to our school and community.

Hesperia Days Parade Saturday, September 17 @ 9:00am Lots of exciting stuff happening at the Hesperia Days Parade for our Krystal students! Our Drill Team will be marching in the parade and one of our Krystal Comets won 1st PLACE in the Advance Disposal Art Contest and their artwork will be revealed during the parade. We hope to see you there, be sure to wear your Krystal spirit wear!

*Urgent Dismissal Change* Starting tomorrow (Tue. 9/13), Students who are dismissed as WALKERS will have a different procedure than they have been used to this year. From now on, Walkers will exit the school through the brown gate near the bus circle on Farmdale Street. Students will be escorted to the corner of Farmdale and Krystal by a proctor and supervised by teachers along the route. (If your student has been a walker in the past, this will be familiar as it is the way Walkers have dismissed in the past) It is very important to recognize that parents now need to wait for their children in the dirt lot at the corner crosswalk or in the dirt lot behind the school. Please support our process and the safety of all students by waiting in these designated areas and NOT in the bus circle, school parking lot, or along the sidewalks. If you would like to change your student to be "walk-up" or "drive-up" for dismissal, please fill out the dismissal change form linked below. Dismissal Change Form: https://bityl.co/ELMx

Attn Krystal Families: Once again we have another unexpected dismissal adventure. This time it's due to a water mainline break. The location is not ideal as it's where our two lines merge into one in the drive-up line. Dismissal will be the same as usual but vehicles need to stay in the first lane (not go around other cars). Please pull as far forward as possible AND have your student's name and grade level sign displayed in your window to keep the line moving so we can quickly load as many students as possible. They are working on fixing the issue as quickly as possible and we apologize for the inconvenience.

Dear Krystal Families, Thank you so much for supporting Krystal's Back to School Night. It was great having families on campus with us.

We are excited because tomorrow, 8/4 is the first day of school!!! Here are a few reminders: -School starts at 9:10am and gates open at 8:40am. -Families are welcome to walk students on campus to find their line up area on the first day -Tk and Kindergarten start their "all day" schedule immediately (first day of school) -It is very important that you have filled out the dismissal form: https://bityl.co/DdTb Most importantly, please have patience. You will notice we have construction in our bus zone which will impact our arrival and dismissal. Wait time is typically a little longer the first few weeks of school but it will get better once everyone is familiar with the process. We will do the best we can to keep arrival as safe and as efficient as possible. We also have plenty of adult supervision out front and around the perimeter of the school to help students get to where they need to be. Mrs. Garibay and Mrs. Primrose are looking forward to an amazing 22-23 school year! We can't wait!
