Good evening, Van Gogh Elementary PK3–Kindergarten parents and siblings,
To support the construction and building progress of Van Gogh Secondary, Gate D and Gate E will be closed during the last three days of school: May 26th, 27th, and 28th. Because of this, we will be implementing an alternative morning drop-off and afternoon pickup plan for PK3–Kindergarten students and their siblings.
Gate C will remain open, and staff members will be available in front of the main building enclosure to assist our PK3–Kindergarten students during arrival and dismissal.
In order to help alleviate traffic and ensure student safety, dismissal will begin at 2:00 PM on these days. We kindly ask for your patience and cooperation as we work together to maintain a safe and smooth process for all students and families.
Thank you for your continued support and understanding.

🚨 Important Update for Friday – Día del Niño 🚨
Dear Van Gogh Families,
We are excited to celebrate Día del Niño this Friday, and we need your support to help make this event a success for our students! 🎉
Due to event setup, vendor arrivals, and activity areas, we will be making a temporary change to afternoon dismissal procedures:
➡️ Gate D will NOT be used for entry during dismissal
➡️ All families (1st–10th grade) must enter through the Guard Shack Gate
This adjustment will allow us to safely prepare and manage all event spaces for our students to enjoy.
We kindly ask for your patience and cooperation as we work together to create a fun and organized experience for everyone.
Thank you for your continued support—let’s make this a great celebration for our Royals! 💙👑
