Old Fashioned Fourth of July Celebration
We need help from parents to make this happen. Please click here and put your name down next to the task you would like to help with. We especially need help with breakdown. 

If you can bring one potluck item and a cake for the cake walk would be much appreciated!

Its a $10 entry fee for food and drinks, $2 per cake walk. All other games are free!  Please bring cash only.

We will have lots of games including sac races, egg toss, pie eating contest, water balloons, and tug of war. It's fun for the whole family!

300 Big Creek Road
Davenport ca, 95017

PS - We lost our sponsor for the Pig we roast.  The Roashhouse has offered to pitch in but we are still $200 short. If we don't get it covered this year we will have to cancel the pig roast next year so please let us know if you are able to donate extra to help cover that.  Please email [email protected] and [email protected] to let us know if you can help out. 

Also it's for all Pacific school families (current and past) and north coast locals only. 
No dogs please. All proceeds go to support Pacific elementary school.
DUE MONDAY, JULY 27: Back-to-School Forms

Start HERE
 The Back-to-School packet is ready, and can be completed online by going here. It should take about 5 minutes.

A few hints:
  • ​NSLP (income form):  Accurate information helps us support students and maintain important school funding
  • Please update the default zero on the UBA with your actual income. Zero is fine if accurate — the default zero just means the form isn’t complete, and we will need to follow-up.
  • Bus Form: If your child plans to ride the bus on the first day of school, please print and turn in the bus form to the office at least 72 hours before their first bus ride. Forms submitted on the first day won’t be processed in time for same‑day bus rides. 
  • Insurance information is being requested this year. Find your info before starting the packet.
  • Doctor Name and Phone number are required for preschool students.
  • Parent Contact Order:  Parents will be contacted in the order they are listed on the Student Contact Form in the Student Packet.
If you are a new family, and have not completed the enrollment paperwork yet, that will need to be completed right away, so the Back to School paperwork can be done.

Thank you for taking care of this so we can all start of the 2026/27 school year as smoothly as possible.  

- Ms. Chyna

Please Review Pacific!
One easy, zero-cost way you can support Pacific School is by writing a short review of our TK-6th school and/or Pacific Preschool. Just three minutes of your time makes a big difference! Right now we have very few reviews, which makes it harder for families to find out about our award-winning programs and small, supportive community.

Please Review Us Now:
  • Great Schools (K-6th)
Have more time? Please leave a review in any of these additional places:
  • Winnie (Preschool)
  • Great Schools (Preschool)
  • Yelp (Pre-6th)
  • Google (Pre-6th)

If you share your reviews with [email protected], Elizabeth can also add them to the school website. Thanks so much!!!
