We will communicate with you as soon as possible in the event of a school wide evacuation.  There will be three distinct locations to reunite with your child(ren) by grade level.  If you have multiple children in multiple grades, we will do our best to usher them to the gate at which you check in amongst our personnel.  Your patience is appreciated during this process!

Loma Vista School uses a "Banking Time" schedule to create time for the staff to learn and collaborate on instructional strategies, curriculum, and state frameworks that directly impact both teachers and students. This innovative schedule has proven to be beneficial for our students because of increased teacher knowledge, understanding and skills that are used in the classroom.

The logistics of the schedule are as follows: Instructional time is added to each of four days in the school week and on the fifth day instructional time is reduced by that total amount.
