Rolando Elementary School is part of the La Mesa – Spring Valley Schools. We are excited about the new 2025 – 2026 school year we have ahead of us!
School begins: August 8th at 8:30am
Rolando Elementary serves Transitional-Kindergarten through 5th Grade, in the Rolando neighborhood of La Mesa.
The La Mesa-Spring Valley School District is proud of its students and their accomplishments. Student appearance and dress should be a reflection of a serious learning environment.
Appropriate dress and good grooming contribute to a positive atmosphere and promote student safety. This includes positive comments about homework and school in general.
In accordance with California Education Code, Section 48907, and with the best interests of our students, school and school-sponsored activities, and our community in mind, the following dress code has been adopted. We appreciate your support and adherence to the guidelines.
Rolando Elementary is not a “uniform school.”
Our dress code assures that children may participate in classroom, recess, and PE activities. Dress code restrictions are also set to assure appropriate standards of dress for a school setting.
If a student violates the Dress Code, Parent/Guardian may be notified.
Student will be required to change the attire; sometimes we have alternative clothing available.
Loaner clothing must be laundered and returned the following day.
Dear Rolando Parents,Research clearly reveals a link between nutrition and fitness, good health, and the ability to learn. This means that the food and physical activity choices children make now can affect their academic achievement and their productivity as adults. It is our desire to do all we can to help them be healthy and successful. We ask you to follow the La Mesa-Spring Valley Wellness Policy which we promote at Rolando Elementary:
If you would like to bring in items for a birthday, consider fun, non-food items such as stickers, pencils, notepads, bookmarks, etc. Check with your child’s teacher for their suggestions. Many of us have visions of cupcakes and cookies when we think of birthday recognition at school. Due to the new regulations, this is no longer an option. Those items will need to be provided at home birthday parties instead. But, there are certainly plausible, fun alternatives that can be done at school.
District policy does not allow: Soft drinks containing caloric sweeteners, sports drinks, iced teas, fruit-based drinks that contain less than 50% real fruit juice or that contain additional caloric sweeteners, beverages containing caffeine. All carbonated sodas are strictly prohibited as a beverage at school.
If your child misses school, please call us at (619) 668-5800 to report the absence. Doctor and dental notes are helpful if our attendance records are audited. If your child has numerous absences, these will be requested.
Please note that your call to report the absence does not "erase" the absence, but rather designates it as excused or unexcused depending on the reason.
