GOTR registration begins today- Jan 6th, 2020! Space limited. Sign up today!

New Friends! Increased Confidence! Feeling Fit! Those are just a few of the benefits of participating in Girls on the Run. Do you want to empower your girl and unlock her limitless potential? Register her now for one of our life-changing, after-school programs: Girls on the Run for girls in elementary school and Heart & Sole for those in middle school. We have teams at more than 100 locations across Silicon Valley!

Trained coaches lead the girls through lessons about standing up for yourself and others, managing emotions, setting goals, stopping gossip and bullying, and so much more. Teachers say they see the positive effects of GOTR girls' performance in the classroom, too! The program culminates with girls positively impacting their communities through a service project and being physically and emotionally prepared to complete the celebratory Girls on the Run 5K event.

The Basics:

* Lottery registration is open January 6 through January 15; save $10 at our full-fee sites when you register during this time.

SAFETY

Front Drive Thru: RIGHT TURN ONLY onto Yellowstone Ave. Adults need to remain in the car, safety patrol will assist students getting out of cars.

Parking Lot: Please drive slowly and with patience. Only let students out of the car when you are at the Sinnott gate entrance. Do Not let students out of the car to run through the parked cars as drivers can not anticipate these students darting out.

DROP OFF TIME: 7:45am. Please DO NOT drop off your children before 7:45 as there is no supervision.

PICK UP TIME: Kindergarten students may wait with adults in the cafeteria area for siblings being dismissed at 2pm. Kinder students may not play in the Multi Use Room or on the playground.

Lunch: Please do not send glass containers, we have had several dropped and scatter glass which is dangerous.

HOW IMPORTANT IS ATTENDANCE?

Awesome job at getting to school on time!

I know that the holidays bring travel. Please keep in mind how important it is for your children to be present at school. Please try to schedule travel during our days off.

School Funding is largely based on attendance! Every day that a student is at school = $55
