Good Afternoon Pico Canyon Families,

I hope you had a wonderful weekend.

We are very excited about the many end-of-the-year activities on campus these next two weeks. We know how frustrating parking can be, but please do not park in staff parking spots during the school day, in fire lanes, or in front of the playground gate.

Congratulations to all of our Variety Show performers. We certainly have a lot of talent here at Pico. I cannot say thank you enough to our PTA, the volunteers, and especially our director, Mrs. Johnson, for making this such a special event. It is a HUGE production, and the help from everyone to give our students this opportunity is incredible.

Thank you for your ongoing support of Pico Canyon.

Sincerely,
Michele Krantz
Principal
 

Capturing Kids' Hearts Family Survey

Please take a few moments to complete our Capturing Kids' Hearts Family Survey. This is different than the recent Newhall School Effectiveness Survey. This survey supports our implementation of the Capturing Kids' Hearts program at Pico Canyon. (This includes things like our Social Contracts and Good Things sharing in the classroom).

While we were recognized this year as a National Showcase School for Capturing Kids' Hearts, we want to continue to refine our work. Your feedback is very meaningful to us. We promise it's the last survey of the year!

What an unforgettable evening at this year’s Pico Canyon Variety Show!

Our incredible students lit up the stage with their talent, confidence, and creativity, delivering performances that had the whole crowd smiling, cheering, and amazed! From energetic dances to impressive vocals and heartfelt acts, it was truly a night to remember.

A huge THANK YOU to the Pico Canyon PTA for bringing this special event to life and creating such a meaningful experience for our students and families!
