New Absent or Tardy Form
New this year - if your student is absent or tardy you are encouraged to complete the handy form found on the green button at the top of the home page. Do so by 9:00 each morning, save staff time and effort, and earn a gold star next time you come into the office!

Tired of Driving? Consider the Metro Bus!
If you’ve been considering sending your child on the school bus, we encourage you to give it a try! The more families who ride, the more we can reduce our school’s carbon footprint and build community. More info about routes.

Planning to send your child on the bus? Please join our parent-organized WhatsApp group to sign up as a low-key parent chaperone—once a week, once a month, or whenever you’re able—to ride along with the kids to school. 

Questions?  Reach out to Lauren (new parent and mom to Fiona C. in 1st grade). [email protected] 

Many thanks to Lauren for jumping right in and supporting community!

Reminder from Mr. Gross: Device-Free Campus Policy
Electronic Devices: Students who bring cell phones, smart watches, or other electronic devices to school must keep them turned off and out of sight during school and After School Recreation hours. Students are never allowed to contact parents or anyone else through their personal device during school or recreation hours. Communication with parents must be handled through teachers or office staff. When electronic devices, including smart watches, are visible during school hours, they will be confiscated and returned at the end of the day.

​Parents, if you receive a direct communication from your child during school hours, please tell them that they are violating school policy and they need to put their device away and talk to a staff member to use the office phone. This process allows staff to know what is going on with our students. 

Thank you so much for partnering with us to keep our campus a healthy space for kids to learn and play!

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!!!
