Dear Families and Students,
Can you believe we’re already in the 6th week of school? Time truly flies when we’re busy learning, growing, and building a vibrant school community. This week, I’m excited to share some of the amazing things happening in our classrooms and around the school. We’ve already seen so much progress, and it’s inspiring to witness the enthusiasm and curiosity that our students bring each day.
Thank you for your continued support in helping make this school year one to remember!
Warm regards,
Mrs. Orr, Principal of EastLake Elementary

Traffic and Safety
For the safety of all our students, families, and staff, I want to remind everyone to follow the posted traffic directions in our parking lot. We have cameras that monitor the area, and I’ve noticed some cars going the wrong way through the cones or against the flow of traffic.
Please remember that these rules are in place to keep everyone safe. Not following the posted traffic directions could result in a citation by the Chula Vista Police Department.
Thank you for your cooperation in keeping our school community safe!
For your review, here are the traffic and parking lot expectations:
- There is a RIGHT TURN ONLY when leaving Parking lot.
- Red Curbs – “as required under California Vehicle Code Section 21458(a)(1), a curb painted red shall indicate no stopping, standing, or parking whether the vehicle is attended or unattended.”
- The left lane in the parking lot is for traffic to move through. Parking/stopping in the left lane blocks cars from being able to exit. Students should not exit or enter vehicles that are in the left lane.
- Use crosswalks for crossing the street and parking lot. When dropping students off, please be sure that they exit the vehicle on the right so that they get out directly onto the sidewalk closest to the school building.
- Follow traffic patterns and do not double park along parking spaces.
Thank you, in advance, for following these expectations and for keeping our students safe.
