Volunteers Welcome and Encouraged!
  • If you want to help in the classroom, please sign in at the office first, and preferably communicate with the teacher beforehand, so the teacher can plan a role/job for you.
  • If you are handy, please speak with Mr. Gross. He has a long list of things that need to be done, some of which require skills and tools. 
  • Kris has lots of tasks that need attention in the garden, you don't always need a green thumb.
  • And if you find yourself on campus with a few minutes to spare, you can probably spot a task that needs doing and doesn't need direction (e.g. weeding, picking up trash, sweeping wayward woodchips, etc.). 
Thanks! We look forward to keeping you busy!

Sick? COVID+? Exposed? Confused?
There have been some COVID cases on campus during the first week of school. Please go HERE to get the updated information about how to handle kids with symptoms, positive test results, and/or exposures. Our guidelines are based on the county guidelines.

Also, it is fair to assume there is a strong likelihood of being exposed to Covid-19 if you or your child is in public, including here on campus. We will not be sending out individual notifications.

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 eandrews@pacificesd.org, Elizabeth can also add them to the school website. Thanks so much!!!
