Information for New Families

🎉 Welcome New Families! 🎉

Hello and a warm welcome to all our new families joining our wonderful community! We are thrilled to have you on board and look forward to an exciting journey ahead.

New Family Playdate

For all families that have registered in the Spring, we will email you the information for our New Family Playdate, to help you and your little ones get acquainted with our school environment and meet fellow newcomers. It's a fantastic opportunity to make new friends and start building connections within our community.

See the PTA calendar for details on this event and others..

ParentSquare

ParentSquare is a PTA-funded, volunteer-run platform for our school community to share updates, events, and more. Through ParentSquare, families can view and create posts, events, and sign-ups, and also message other families directly.

Getting started (sign in required)

New families will receive an invitation to join ParentSquare via email. If you don't receive an invitation within two weeks of enrolling, please email parentsquare@dfespta.org.

Please note, ParentSquare is different from ParentVue, which is the SFUSD’s platform for student and parent communications.

Room Parents

Our dedicated room representatives play a vital role in fostering communication between teachers, parents, and the school administration. Becoming a room rep is a fantastic way to get involved, build connections, and contribute to your child's educational journey. Plus, it's a rewarding opportunity to play an active role in shaping the classroom environment and creating memorable experiences for all students.

Contact roomrepcoord@dfespta.org for more information or if you are interested in becoming a room rep.

Stop, Drop & Go

Stop, Drop & Go makes morning drop-offs safe and easy for kids and caregivers:
Pull up to the Vicente gate between 7:30 and 7:50am and parent volunteers will help students safely exit the vehicle.

Stop, Drop & Go is possible thanks to our dedicated community volunteers. Each classroom takes a turn in the fall and spring, so every family gets a chance to participate and continue this much-needed program.

Morning Circle

We cordially invite all families to join us for Morning Circle every Monday, Wednesday and Friday. This is the time for announcements and rotating share outs from each classroom throughout the year. Please remember that school starts promptly at 7:50 am. Give yourself enough time to find parking if you plan to join your child in the yard before school begins. 

Donation Information

Your contributions make a significant difference in enhancing your child’s school experience. Whether it's through monetary donations, volunteering your time, or donating supplies, every bit of support is deeply appreciated. 

Once again, a warm welcome to our new families! We're thrilled to have you join us on this enriching journey. If you have any questions or need further assistance, feel free to reach out to our welcoming committee or school administration. Here's to a fantastic year ahead filled with learning, growth, and memorable experiences!
