Please take the time to fill out a free/reduced lunch application for your child. It is imperative that all families complete the lunch forms, even if the family will not qualify for or take advantage of the school lunch program. These forms ensure that CELC (and all other AUSD schools) receive proper Federal funding for all sorts of important school functions such as academic and social emotional support, teacher training, and instructional equipment. This form can be accessed this link schoolcafe.com. For any family registering a new account, our district is listed as Alpine USD. You need your student’s ID number. It is available in your ParentVUE account. Your student's teacher or the office can also give you the ID number. We are kindly asking that all families fill the form out by Monday, September 2nd. Thank you so much for your support!

Thank you for an amazing first day with your Cubs! It was nice to see all of the smiling faces! The day went smoothly. We are so proud of the students who may have had some reservations about their first day. All the teachers and staff reported that the students had a day filled with fun and friendships. We had many special visitors today including members of our Sheriff's Department, the CELC Cub, the Superintendent, and an AUSD School Board Member. They all made comments about the students being behaved, respectful, engaged in learning, and adorable (of course)! Thank you for entrusting us with your precious children. Another huge thank you to our special guest that helped greet the students this morning! We are truly blessed to have such an amazing community. If you have any pictures from the first day that you are ok with us sharing on our social media page, please email them to
tripke@alpineschools.net. See you all tomorrow!

Welcome to Your First Day of School!
Breakfast: Available at 8:35 am. Please note that morning supervision is limited, so make sure to monitor your child.
School Rules: Please remind your child of our three key rules: be safe, be responsible, and be respectful.
Classroom Doors: Open daily at 9:00 am. Today, teachers may open them a bit earlier. Our goal is to personally greet each child every day, so please try not to distract the teachers during this time. If you have urgent questions, you can visit the office, but please be patient as the first few mornings are very busy.
Parking: Please be cautious in the parking lot and on the streets. Parking is often challenging during the first couple of weeks but typically eases afterward.
Dismissal: Gates open for dismissal at 1:00 pm during the first 8 days.
We wish you and your student a fun and memorable day! Our staff is thrilled to welcome you soon.
