Budget Watch

 

To Parents and Other School Stakeholders,  

 

The governor's proposed budget has dire implications for public education, and specifically, for the Elk Grove Unified School District. If the proposed budget is signed, it will necessitate substantial economic cuts to the Elk Grove Unified School District budget over the next three years. If you have ideas or suggestions about how the District should prioritize budget cuts, please feel free to make suggestions or recommendations on Budget Watch on the District's website.

 

If you have other ideas or suggestions, the district encourages you to submit your ideas through the Budget Watch suggestion box.

Early Dismissals & Campus Visits

 Parents please be prepared to show your drivers license or other valid photo I.D. when picking your student up early from school or when visiting our campus. When students are released from school early they must be picked up by an adult who is listed as a parent, guardian or emergency contact unless other arrangements have been made with an administrator or the office staff.

 

Also, all visitors on campus will be required to enter through the administration office to sign in, have their identification verified and then they will receive a visitor sticker to enter campus.
