Depending on whether you are new to the District or new to La Jolla Elementary School, the necessary paperwork will vary. For starters, you will need to submit a copy of a current utility bill, phone bill, or rental contract for proof of residency. 

Below is information you will find helpful in learning more about our school:

Important Dates:

  • Pizza Wednesday. This is a half day, and students are dismissed at 12:20pm every Wednesday. The PTO sells pizza and drinks (which are signed up for and prepaid twice a year). This is distributed to classrooms prior to dismissal.

  • Friday Pledge of Allegiance Ceremony. Join us every Friday morning at 8:15am on the Primary Field for the Pledge of Allegiance, a classroom performance, and announcements from our Principal.

Other Community Information

If you are new to the La Jolla area, here are a few suggestions that may lend to meeting other LJES children during the summertime...

  • Attend the La Jolla Farmer's Market. It's held every Sunday from 9:00am-1:30pm on the back side of the elementary school. There are lots of yummy food vendors and local crafts along with live music. The proceeds from the market fund various initiatives enjoyed by all children at LJES, including school improvements and programs such as art, music, library, technology and additional classroom teachers to lower class sizes.

  • SD Family Magazine is a great resource for happenings around San Diego. We keep this monthly magazine stocked at the front desk in the office. In the meantime, you can browse the events calendar here.

In the meantime, please be sure to:
