Hello Allen Families and Staff,
Happy Summer Break! Our school office is open until June 13, 2023. We are happy to help with Verification of Residency in the school office or enrollment questions.
Keep checking this school blog each Sunday: It will be updated every Sunday for regular updates and to help families identify some summer extension activities and low-cost opportunities for families.
Throughout the month of June, Allen Elementary and the Chula Vista Elementary School District celebrate LGBTQ+ Pride Month! We celebrate the diversity in our community.
The Chula Vista Elementary School District is a safe and welcoming district for all students and their families. We would like to offer resources here and here for this month. We are conscious of providing age-appropriate and developmentally-appropriate lessons and activities around identity that meet all of our students’ needs when addressing LGBTQ-visibility and inclusion. Our goal is to work together as one community through this practice. We encourage you to reach out to us throughout the year if you have any questions or would like further information as we support our students in this important work for equity and inclusion.
June 19, 2023 is Juneteenth, also known as Freedom Day! Juneteenth is a federal holiday in the United States commemorating the emancipation of enslaved African-Americans. It is also often observed for celebrating African-American and black culture. It has been celebrated annually on June 19 in various parts of the United States since 1865. Allen Elementary recognizes the importance of this federal holiday and reaffirms the commitment to advance freedom and justice for all in our country.
Please read this letter from our Superintendent regarding the ICOC at CVESD:
If you have questions for our staff or need assistance, please call at at (619) 479-3662. Office hours are 8 am to 3:30 pm, M-F.
Have you downloaded the Family Handbook for 2022-2023? Kindly review this periodically with your child. This will be updated in July 2023.

Mr. Greenwell’s Message of the Week
Healthy school and wellness policy reminders: There is no sharing of food or drink allowed at school. Please do not send any junk food (such as gum, candy, chips) or sugary drinks to school. Sports drinks, such as Prime and Gatorade, are not allowed because they are not part of our district’s wellness policy. These drinks, although advertised as good for your health, are not healthy for children and often have chemicals that adversely affect children.
Please watch Mr. Greenwell’s Message of the Week for the Summer Break at the YouTube link below:
Please check back for our PTC and school’s Q1 Calendar of Events here.
Do you receive School Messenger emails and communication from our district? Be sure to check www.cvesd.org and bookmark our district’s website and follow its social media:
Please see our 2022-2023 Family Handbook here: Link to Family Handbook
A reminder of our school’s Core Values and Common Courtesies:


The Core Value for the first week of school is Caring. The Common Courtesy for this week is “Please.“
Students may earn an Allen Eagle Ticket for demonstrating the Core Values and Common Courtesies each day. Students can redeem these tickets at the Eagle’s Nest Store at the end of each quarter of the school year. Our staff is always looking for ways to celebrate our students!
Kindness counts! Wondering how to support children if they experience a problem with another student? We suggest:
- Use “I feel…” statements to express yourself clearly.
- Set boundaries by saying “I don’t like that…” or “Please stop!”
- Move away from the student you have conflict with and…
- Seek help from an adult nearby.
Our staff prides itself in actively monitoring students at all times. What our staff has noticed is that students are learning how to interact with one another and having some problems or conflict. This is not bullying. It may be due to trauma and other sudden social-emotional issues with a child. What is bullying? See the helpful graphic below:
If you have a concern about another child’s behaviors impacting your child, we suggest you first contact your child’s teacher. Afterwards, please see this page here. It’s our District’s Anti-Bullying page.
If you need to conduct business with the school office, please contact the school office between the hours of 8 am and 3:30 pm, Monday through Friday, at (619) 479-3662 and we will arrange an appointment with you.

Sixth Grade Promotion Ceremony
Please see the photos below from our 2023 Promotion Ceremony:


Class Placement for 2023-2024
Per the Allen Family Handbook, “requests for specific teachers are not permitted. However, parents may provide educational information (in written form) about their child before May 1st, in order to assist teachers and school administration with classroom placement. Once classroom rosters are created, students are not moved to another classroom unless student enrollment numbers dictate the necessity to do so.”
Allen Elementary is a small school that feels like a family for many of our students. Most grade levels consist of two classrooms per grade level and may involve a combination classroom (also called a combo class). It is not possible to honor specific classroom requests for these reasons. Class placement will be shared at our Family Orientation and PTC Back to School Night on July 17, 2023 and also emailed to parents before school starts. Please check your SPAM or JUNK folders for this message. For privacy reasons, we cannot post class lists, nor can we share the placement of another child with you.
Bell Schedule for 2023-2024 School Year
Students in TK through sixth grade dismiss at 3:10 pm, Mondays through Thursdays and at 2 pm on all Fridays and minimum days.
***Please note that TK and Kindergarten students will be on a minimum day schedule for assessment purposes on the following days: Wednesday, July 19 through Thursday, July 27, 2023. Dismissal for TK and Kindergarten students will be at 2 pm each day those days. Please note that every Friday is a 2 pm dismissal for all students in grades TK-6.
Beginning Monday, July 31, all students in grades TK-6 will be on a full day schedule with dismissal at 3:10 pm, Monday through Thursday. All Fridays and minimum days have a 2 pm dismissal.
Traffic Loop Reminders
Please follow all traffic laws and rules when dropping off and picking up your child from school.
Here are some helpful traffic and safety reminders:
Please do not block driveways. Do not use staff parking spots in front of the 100 and 200 buildings to drop off and pick up your child. For the safety of all, do not stop in front of the school to drop off and pick up your child.
The traffic loop is split next to our beautiful new mural on the west side of our campus. Please do not block the bus lane. All parent drop off and pick up should be in front of the 800 building and then exit the traffic loop on the left side of the bus lane. Please do not park in the loop or leave your car unattended.
Follow directions from staff, safety patrol officers, and law enforcement.
Q4 VAPA Newsletters
Please review the Visual Arts and Music Newsletters below for Q4. You may need to scroll through the documents to find your child’s grade level. If you have questions, please contact Ms. Godoy (Music) or Ms. Gilman (Visual Arts).

End of the Year Events
Please see the photos below from our last few activities of the school year, such as our Field Day and Family First Friday.








Summer Engagement
Summer is a great time for students to catch up on important life skills!
Physical exercise is very important in children of all ages. We recommend getting children outside to swim, hike, bike ride, skateboard, or walk for at least 30 minutes a day! Outdoor exercise is important for children to develop athletic and social skills with peers.
Read this article for sunscreen use with children over the summer: Article
Reading is the number one skill all children can benefit from over summer break. Summer reading is critical for students to retain knowledge and skills learned in the previous school year. Students who don’t read are at risk of falling behind their classmates. Parents and legal guardians can avoid this by making sure kids take time to read over extended breaks, such as summer.
Downloading the free app, Libby, can increase your child’s access to online books for free through the San Diego County Library system. We recommend kids read for at least 20 minutes a day a book that is at their independent reading level.
Check out this free article from the California Library Association: Article
Online Safety: Parents and legal guardians, please monitor your child’s activity on cell phones, online games, and computers. Online safety includes any computers, cell phone, gaming consoles, e-readers, tablets, and other devices. It is important to discuss with ALL CHILDREN (even at an early age) the following topics:
- Netiquette
- Looking at inappropriate content
- Pop-ups/Passwords
- Not trusting everyone and everything you see online
In addition, older children (tweens and teens) need to hear from trusted adults on:
- Cyberbullying
- Sexting
- Posting personal/inappropriate information (pornography, violence, hate speech, illegal activities)
- Meeting offline with others
We recommend that parents stay calm and level-headed when speaking to children about these topics. Often well-intentioned parents threaten to take away items and punish children when they are found exploring online and that just creates other problems that could be potentially more serious down the line. Ask your child if they are aware of conflicts between students via social media, online gaming, and other apps. Build trust and answer questions they have in an age-appropriate way.
We encourage parents to check out additional resources for online safety at https://www.missingkids.org/netsmartz/videos#elementary.
Other helpful resources are Common Sense Media and Internet Matters. Those links are below…
We recommend that parents monitor carefully access to online websites, gaming, and social media. Seemingly innocent websites, such as YouTube, often link to videos geared for a more mature audience, including websites and videos. Please see this helpful resource: https://onlinemasteroflegalstudies.com/resources/how-parents-educators-protect-childrens-online-privacy/
Free, San Diego County Fair Tickets
The San Diego County Fair offers free admission to all kids aged 12 and younger every Friday of the Fair! For kids aged 6-12, this is a savings of $14 per child.

Zone Transfers & Registration Information
If Allen Elementary is not your school of residence, please complete this Zone Transfer (or ZT) process ASAP to keep your child at our school, or families risk losing their child’s spot at our school if a new family moves into the neighborhood. Please also remember that a Zone Transfer or Intradistrict Transfer may be denied if a child’s behavior or attendance require improvement.
NEW STUDENT registration began on February 15 online for the following:
- Kindergartners who will be 5 years old on or before September 1, 2023.
- NEW students in grades 1st through 6th
- All registrations will take place online. There will be no paper packets. To register please visit our district website beginning on February 15: www.cvesd.org
Allen Elementary has plenty of space in our Preschool, TK, and Kindergarten classes for next year, but has limited openings in our upper grades. Please contact our office for questions about space availability at (619) 479-3662. More information is posted on our district’s website at www.cvesd.org.
- Please note:
- TK students will not need a renewal zone transfer link as they will need to register at their neighborhood school for Kindergarten. Our district’s Early Childhood Education department supports Preschool and TK enrollment. Please contact them directly at (619) 425-9600 Ext.181725.
- The Renewal Zone Transfer Form is independent of the “New Zone Transfer Form.”
- Students who will be transitioning to Sweetwater Union High School District for seventh grade (middle school) do not need to notify CVESD about this, but will need to complete registration processes with that district via https://www.sweetwaterschools.org/.

Please notify the office at allenschool@cvesd.org in case we need to contact you in an emergency. Not returning to Allen Elementary next year? Please let us know as soon as possible by sending an email to michelle.reza@cvesd.org and joyce.baptista@cvesd.org.

Free Campus Clinic Health Services
Families may come to the school office, Monday- Friday, between 8 am and 3:30 pm to receive a free COVID-19 home antigen test. The testing is not required. Please report all positive cases to our school office at (619) 479-3662.
Campus Clinic has partnered with the Chula Vista Elementary School District and Allen Elementary to provide free or low-cost services to staff and students for the convenience of our community. Services offered include:
- Vision and Hearing screenings as part of Preventative wellness visits
- Annual Well Visits
- Anxiety and depression screenings
- Mental health services including group therapy
- Diagnostic testing (flu, strep, COVID-19, etc)
- Immunizations
A new mental wellness program is now available. This program is designed for students aged 8 years & older. Campus Clinic allows parents to schedule one-on-one visits with a licensed provider. Parents are encouraged to attend the first visit via telehealth, and then schedule 12 additional 30-minute sessions between their student and the provider either in person at the designated location in the school or via telehealth.
Families do have the opportunity to continue these visits through summer & holidays as well. Visits are billed through insurance (the cost of the program is generally covered by insurance providers including Medi-Cal & private insurance companies).
This program will be rolled out at Allen Elementary soon. See the flyer below:
Weekly, voluntary COVID-19, flu, and RSV testing will continue on our school campus via Campus Clinic each week. Parents and legal guardians must opt-in to the program and no child will be tested without proper consent. If families would like to watch a video on the registration process, they can visit: https://campusclinic.org/how-to/. For community testing at the kiosks, individuals will need to register on-site. You only need to register one time for a test through the kiosk. Again, for this free testing support, please email: support@campusclinic.org.
This combo test is designed to provide results for symptomatic individuals for some of the most common illnesses, such as Flu A, Flu B, RSV, and COVID-19. This testing is provided at no-cost or free to families, but Campus Clinic is required by the state of California to collect insurance information. Campus Clinic will also be providing other essential public health services on our campus in the coming weeks.
MedLab2020 may call or email families to verify insurance information for individuals who have tested with Campus Clinic previously. MedLab2020 is the lab that Campus Clinic partners with to process COVID-19 PCR & flu combo tests administered through weekly in school testing, as well as at the four kiosks throughout the district. They are part of the letterhead on most of the results sent out. Please feel free to direct any questions or concerns you may have to the Campus Success Team.
Campus Clinic now provides access to licensed healthcare providers available via telehealth for follow-up visits and care. Following a positive flu or COVID test result, patients will receive a link in their email that gives them the opportunity to schedule with a provider to receive further care or ask any questions they may have.
Learn more about this and other additional services on the website: campusclinic.org. Allen Elementary is proud to partner with Campus Clinic! Watch the video below:

Health and Safety
There are currently no mandate for COVID-19 vaccines, nor a mandate for masks in the state of California. Please understand that the state of California may (in the future) require children to be fully vaccinated for COVID-19 in order to attend a public school, just as they already do for other diseases (polio, mumps, rubella, etc..). This decision is not a school-based or district-based decision, but rather a state government decision.
Masks, although not required at this time, are encouraged for all staff, students, parents, and visitors while indoors on campus.
- There is an inherent risk of exposure to COVID-19 and other illnesses in any public place where people are present. The school and district strive to reduce this impact to staff, students, and families.
- It is a current public health recommendation for all eligible people to get COVID-19 booster shots.
If your child has a chronic health condition, such as allergies or asthma, please contact the school office and download the form below to have your child’s doctor complete and send it back to the school’s nurse. We recommend doing this in advance of a child showing symptoms.
If your child experiences any symptoms of COVID-19, please keep your child home and contact the school office at (619) 479-3662. If any person (regardless of vaccination status) presents with symptoms of COVID-19 while at school, that person will be immediately sent home. All schools in CVESD must follow the latest County of San Diego COVID-19 Decision Tree (see below) for persons with symptoms associated with COVID-19.
People with COVID-19 have had a wide range of symptoms reported – ranging from mild symptoms to severe illness. Symptoms may appear 2-14 days after exposure to the virus. People with these symptoms may have COVID-19 and should stay home:
- Fever or chills
- Cough
- Shortness of breath or difficulty breathing
- Fatigue
- Muscle or body aches
- Headache
- New loss of taste or smell
- Sore throat
- Congestion or runny nose
- Nausea or vomiting
- Diarrhea
