STUDENT DIRECTORY
The student directory supports “community building” at LJES. Our school families elect to include their home and email addresses, phone numbers, and parents’ names. The directory is helpful in arranging play-dates, parent get-togethers, and the other “outside of school” activities so important to building a strong LJES community. The directory is published by the LJES PTO and distributed to all families free of charge. It is the parents’ responsibility to ensure that the PTO has received their consent to be included, and that the information provided is accurate. The La Jolla Elementary School Directory and individual class rosters are intended for LJES student and family use only. Use of the Directory and/or individual Class Rosters for any business purposes (including, but not limited to, sale, solicitation, promotion, market research, surveying, etc.) is strictly prohibited.
