Principal's Message
I cannot believe we are in the month of February! I am incredibly excited that this week starts the 1st week of Black History Month. A wise man, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., once said, “We are not makers of history. We are made by history.” During this month, we plan to celebrate those individuals that paved the foundation for us to continue to build on. I want to encourage our young scholars that their voices and words have power and when positively put to use can bring significant change. Teachers have planned many engaging activities for our young scholars to learn about a mixture of historical and current African American figures making a positive impact on society.
TK and Kindergarten Registration
Transitional Kindergarten (TK) and Kindergarten 2022-23 enrollment is now open.
Students who turn 5 between September 2nd and February 2nd may enroll in Transitional Kindergarten.
Students who turn 5 by September 1st may enroll in Kindergarten.
TK is offered at Bard, Haycox, Hueneme, Larsen, and Williams Schools.
Enroll for both TK and Kindergarten at your HOME School, even if TK is not offered at your home school. If TK is not offered at your home school, staff at your home school will assist in enrolling your child in one of the TK classes at another school site. Based on enrollment, TK classes may be added to additional school sites. To get a glimpse into our TK and kindergarten classrooms, please watch this short video:

Parent Workshop
The Hueneme Elementary School District, in collaboration with Logrando Bienestar (Achieving Well-Being), is pleased to present an informational session for families to understand the importance of emotional and mental health, with the goal of helping individuals access services and resources for a productive and healthy lifestyle. Please join us on February 15, 2022 and February 22, 2022 from 6:00 to 7:00 p.m. via Zoom.
Masks
Ventura County Public Health requires that all students wear face masks indoors when they are at school. Please make sure to send your student to school with a mask. All students received a new cloth Hueneme School District face mask a few weeks ago.
Tardies
Please make sure that your student arrives on campus no later than 7:55 so they can be in their classrooms at 8:00 and ready to learn.
Parking Lot Rules
Hello Sunkist Bears!
Please take a few minutes to review Sunkist's Parking Lot Etiquette.
In an attempt to keep all students, staff, and families safe we would like to share the following:
1. Parking lot is for district staff and handicapped individuals only.
2. Please use sidewalks when walking on campus. Walking in the parking lot is dangerous and not permitted.
3. Please do not enter through the Exit. Port Hueneme police will be monitoring the exits for drivers who violate this rule as it is dangerous and illegal.
4. Please be respectful of staff as we enforce the rules. Our main concern is student safety-if we work together we can keep everyone safe.
Thank you for your respect and cooperation
Sunkist School PTA
Would you like to make a positive difference for Sunkist School? We are looking to form a whole new Parent Teacher Association (PTA) this year to address issues that are important to parents and public school educators. It helps foster our school-community partnerships. We hope you'll choose to join us in ensuring Sunkist School thrives!
If you are interested in holding an office in our PTA please contact Ms. Padilla at (805) 986-8722, or email her at rpadilla@hueneme.org
