Here's your chance to give us your opinion about communication you receive from school.
Click on the link here to take our Communications Survey.  We have read your comments and suggestions and look forward to a more streamlined experience next year.  You may also take the survey anonymously.  We appreciate your constructive suggestions!

Thank you to those who have supported our PTA and Booster Club!  Without parent volunteers we could not exist.  The PTA and Booster Club wishes everyone a safe and restful summer.




A huge thank you to our entire Soleado Community—families, friends, staff, and community supporters—for a great year, where our Booster Club was able to raise over $83,000 to help our students enrich their learning experiences.  Whether you donated money, goods, services, or time, or attended our fundraising events, you made a huge difference to our school.  Without your help, our students would not have classroom software to supplement their learning, or the benefit of our Art at Your Fingertips program, or assemblies, or field trips, or campus upgrades, and so much more.   I especially want to thank this year's Booster Board for all of their hard work and dedication to Soleado: Michelle Jongkind, Ray Roostaeyan, Alice Kim, Cindy Van Scoyoc, John Accardo, Donna Epstein, Georgina McGovern, Erica Mangham, Deborah North, and Jessica Norwood.  Our Soleado Suns shine brighter because of them.
