It is called Remind, and it allows parents to sign up for text messages to be sent to them about upcoming events and reminders. We do not receive your cell phone number, and you do not receive ours. It is confidential and easily opted-out if it is not to your liking.
There are two simple ways to sign up:
From your phone: Text @4fd34 to 81010 or
From your computer: www.remind.com/join/4fd34
Sign up today and stay in the know!
Please take a moment to fill out PTA’s parent communication form online (click here). This is very important as our PTA and classroom room parents will use this information, namely your email, to communicate with you around classroom events and volunteer opportunities. Stay in the know and fill out the form today!
Welcome back to another amazing year at Capri School! To help you plan for your child’s lunchtime needs, here are a few friendly reminders of our school meal policies.
Hot lunch is available every day for $3.50. If you would like to apply for free or reduced lunch, you can do so here or come into the office for a paper application. Hot lunch benefits from last year will roll over until Oct. 3rd. After that, a new application must be processed in order to continue receiving benefits.
If your child forgets their lunch, we will always feed them! A lunch charge of $3.50 will be applied to your account and you can pay in the office or online.
Online payment accounts are available through My School Bucks. You will need your child’s school ID number to set up your account. You can register here: My School Bucks

The Program is seeking interested volunteers to be trained as docents or assistant docents or work with our garden manager to maintain the educational gardens. Docent training sessions start on Monday, September 10th from 2 p.m. – 5 p.m. and September 17th from 2 p.m. – 5 p.m. at Capri Elementary School, Room C-6.
Founded 12 years ago, the program serves students in 29 schools in Los Altos, Mountain View, Palo Alto and now Campbell. The hands-on, inquiry-based science, math, nutrition and social studies lessons take place in school gardens which provide a living laboratory where lessons are drawn from real-life experiences.

Capri’s Parent Learning Community - A1 8:15 a.m.
One of the most important decision-making groups at Capri is our elected School Site Council. The Council is composed of parent and community members and representatives from the school’s staff.
The Council reviews the school plan annually, establishes a budget, makes modifications as necessary, and assists in the evaluation of the school’s programs. Members are elected by the groups that they represent. Parent and community representatives are elected for a two-year term and may stand for re-election upon the completion of each term. If you are interested in running for the Council, please submit your name to the front office by Friday, August 31. The voting ballot will be sent home on Thursday, September 6 and returned to the front office by Monday, September 10. The elected council member will be notified and his/her name posted in the front office on Friday, September 14.
There are currently 2 seats to be filled. The candidates receiving the most votes will serve on the Council as a parent/community representative. Write-in candidates receiving votes have an equal opportunity to be elected or serve as alternates on the Council. We meet 4 times throughout the year on weekday afternoons at 3:00 pm.
We are always looking for involved, kind, dedicated parents to join our yard duty staff. This is a wonderful opportunity to see the kids in play and help monitor their social interactions, safety protocols, and daily recess activities. Both volunteer and paid positions are available.
To apply for a paid position, go to https://www.edjoin.org/Home/JobPosting/1075293
To apply for a volunteer position, stop by the office and fill out a parent volunteer application.
