Welcome Back Wildcats!

Back to School Information

Welcome BackWildcats!Back to School Information

We're so glad to see you again!

It is my sincerest wish that you enjoyed the outdoors and that our students were able to catch up on their rest. I hope that you read a great book, saw a fun movie and maybe even rode a wild rollercoaster. It was a joy to see some of our Wildcats take advantage of our summer school program too.


We begin the 2022-23 school year with optimism and excitement. We are thrilled to see our students return to school. As we transition back, we ask our most important partners (our families) to please screen our Wildcats BEFORE they come to school. Remember, students should stay home when they feel sick. Please notify your child's teacher and our office if your child tests positive for COVID-19. Our health office team is ready to assist and support all of our Wildcat families. COVID FAQ'S Link


Please remember that you are NOT required to show proof of a negative COVID test to come to school on Thursday, August 25th. However, please contact our office if your child tests positive for COVID. If you have specific questions or need further information, please do not hesitate to contact us at (805) 488-3541. The Williams team is here to assist you!

Be on time!

Please arrive on time, so that we set up our Wildcats for success on their first day of school. Please arrive between 7:30-7:55 am so that students have time to walk to their class number and have time to find their class number.


Parents will be able to take first day of school photos of their child on the playground blacktop during the first day of school. Once the 8:00 am bell rings, students will walk in with their teachers and parents will be asked to exit the playground, so that we may lock the gate and secure the school. Thank you for your help!
