Health Emergencies
Parents are notified to pick up their child if a student becomes ill or is seriously hurt during school hours. If a parent cannot be reached the school will contact one of the persons named on their child's emergency card. Students will not be released to persons who are not listed on the emergency card. For this reason you must notify the school office when there is a change of phone numbers or persons to be contacted. It is important that the school has at least two (and more is encouraged) names and phone numbers to contact in case of emergency, other than the child's parents.
If a student is injured or becomes ill at school, the school may deem it necessary to call emergency services. If these services are called, the parent is responsible for all fees incurred by these services.

AMAZING!!!
We are thrilled to share with you that Jog-a-Thon exceeded its fundraising goal by over $20,000! Thanks to your school-wide support and enthusiasm, PTO is well on our way to meeting our $200,000 target for this year. This has allowed us to review our next big event, The Red Tie Ball, and make some changes that we are excited to share with you.
This year, we will not have a large-scale Silent Auction, moving many of our items online so you can bid at your leisure and enjoy cocktail hour in our lovely surroundings on Red Tie Ball night. We will still offer Premier items such as sporting event tickets, unique access experiences, and fine dining, along with the ever-popular Buy-In Parties, and other opportunities such as Raffle Tickets and a 54-Card Draw with a fantastic sparkly prize.
Also, we will be holding our Live Auction during dinner this year so you can bid from your table. Our Live Auction lineup is truly spectacular with everything from tropical getaways to VIP access and one-of-a kind experiences. Stay posted for details! We hope you will consider taking home a Live Auction item. Please also consider sponsoring the Red Tie Ball. Many of our sponsorship levels come with free tickets and other perks. As always, thank you for your continued support and we look forward to seeing you at the Red Tie Ball!

Walking with Purpose is a supportive and fun loving group who share a common goal to transform hearts to Christ through knowledge of scripture.
Come join us every Thursday up until March 28th, at 7pm in the ministry center at St. Philips in Room 1, as we begin our first study guide program called "Living in the Father's Love."For questions, please call Andrea Leos at (626)354-8254 or e-mail at
