Welcome to the 2023-2024 School Year

Dear Parents & Guardians:

Haskell knows the 2023-2024 school year will be off to a great start tomorrow! The students will
settle in and get to know their teachers and classmates. Unlike many schools, Haskell has GROWN
by 2 classrooms this year and we are currently interviewing for 2 teachers to add to our already
fabulous staff! Any parent wishing to participate in that process should email [email protected],
(SAA) to let him know you can participate. Take time to review the following very important information with your children and keep this letter for future reference. You may also visit our website at any time for the latest updates and news.
 
PLEASE NOTE: Only PALS, UTKCC, UTK, and KINDERGARTEN parents are allowed on
campus this week only for drop-off. All others must drop-off in the drop-off carpool lane or drop-off
in person at the gate. No other parents will be allowed on campus.

BEFORE/AFTER SCHOOL SUPERVISION: There is NO supervision at school before 7:40
a.m. Do not drop students off in front of the school before 7:40 a.m. If you need childcare before
7:40, please contact the YMCA. We are fortunate to have the North Valley YMCA providing
child care services at Haskell for students in grades K - 5. For information on the YMCA
program, please call 818-421-8007. The YMCA is located in Rooms 30 and 31.
There is NO supervision at school after 2:40 p.m. Our after-school program, YDP (Youth
Development Program) is run by the Beyond the Bell Branch of LAUSD. YDP is open to students
in grades K – 5 and begins each day at school dismissal until 6:00 p.m., Monday through Friday.
Students are registered through an application process, and all students must be signed out daily by
an adult 18 years or older. The Youth Services (YS) After-School Program offers open playground,
supervised recreational and educational activities for our students in grades 2 through 5 on all school
days. There is no after school playground supervision for students in Kindergarten or First
grade. Students may not stay on the playground after school. Older siblings may not supervise
Kindergarten and First grade students on campus after school. IMPORTANT: Students not met on
time may remain on the benches in front of the main office no longer than 15 minutes, otherwise
they are considered abandoned and the Devonshire Police child division will be notified.
