Welcome to Krystal School of Science, Math and Technology’s new website.

Krystal is a kindergarten through sixth grade Choice School. You can choose to enroll your child in Krystal, where we will provide standards-based instruction with a specialized focus in the areas of Science, Math and Technology.

For more information, or to enroll your child, call us.  Krystal's phone number is (760) 948-3611. 

The first day of school was Monday, August 10, 2009!  In case you didn't know, the hours of Krystal are 9:10-3:27 (M-T, Th-F), and 9:10-2:31 (Wed).  For more information, the student calendar has been posted on the left-hand side of this page.

Whether or not your child is currently attending Krystal, we are offering tours of the school.  You may be curious about what we do, or what makes us different.  Perhaps your child is in the lower grades, and you are interested to see what happens in our upper grades.  If interested, please stop by the office and schedule a tour with Tereza.  Or, you can call us at (760) 948-3611.

Wow!  What a wonderful "Fall Family Fun Night"!  Thank you to all who came out and supported our school.  I am sure you saw how great our PTA is.  If you would like to be involved in such a fine group of people, stop by the school and ask for them.

If you took any pictures of the "Fall Family Fun Night," could you send them to me?  tom.kirk@hesperia.org

***We would like to give a huge THANK YOU to Cooley Construction for their recent donation to our PTA.  It is wonderful when local companies help provide field trips and assemblies for our students. 

DRESS CODE CLARIFICATION: If students wear a jacket, sweatshirt, or sweater inside the classroom, these need to be the school uniform colors (blue, black, white, khaki).  If the jacket, sweatshirt, or sweater are worn outside only, other colors are okay.  In addition, if your child is wearing a visible undershirt (thermals, turtleneck, etc.), those need to be school colors, as well.

Comet Club 360 pictures have been posted.  If you missed this wonderful time, make sure that you are meeting all of the criteria.  All students that attended had a great time.

Walk-a-thon information and pictures have been posted.  Go the the "PTA" section to get the latest about this event.

We thank you for all of the support you have given us so far this year.  As we continue to fine-tune everything here at Krystal, we are asking you to continue to be "good neighbors" by not parking in front of/blocking our neighbors' driveways when you are in the pick-up line at the end of the day.

If you took pictures of our Back-to-School Night, could you please e-mail them to the school?  We'd like to have some pictures for our yearbook.  Please e-mail them to tom.kirk@hesperia.org

We love animals, but for the safety of our students, we need all pets kept off of school grounds.  This includes drop-off and pick-up times, as well.  Thank you for understanding.

For student safety, only students grades 1-6 will be allowed on the playground. Parents are welcome to sign-in in the office, obtain a visitor sticker, and wait in the cafeteria with their child until the bell rings.  Once the bell rings, parents may walk their child to the line-up area to meet the teacher.  The parents may then return through the hallways to the front office.

Our Parent/Student Handbook has been posted!  Check it out on the left-hand side.

2009-2010 Bus Routes have been posted!  You will find them under the "Parent Info" section on this website.

If you have an incoming kindergarten student, make sure to check-out some new information in the "Welcome to Kindergarten" section of our website.  The new information is highlighted in blue.

Make sure to check out the newly posted, "Parent Guidelines," in the Parent Info section of the menu bar.  In this, you will find out the processes for volunteering, visiting, and contacting your child's teacher.

Make sure you read the change we have made to our dress code policy.  This change was made because student safety is crucial.  Here is the change:   "In addition, for the safety of our kids, if students wear sandals, they must wear sandals with "closed toes" and a strap on the back.  This can help prevent injuries to feet. Students need to have the capability to participate in physical education, and inappropriate shoes can be a hindrance."

If you have any science, new AA batteries, or book donations, please save them and drop them off at Krystal.   Also, make sure to save used Caprisuns, "boxtops," and Campbell's "labels/points"- for fundraising purposes.  You may bring these to Krystal, as well.

For enrollment questions, please call Krystal at 948-3611.  We will be accepting enrollments Monday -Friday, from 10-2 only.

Here is the latest information on next year's free/reduced meal program.  You need to obtain an application from the Nutrition Services Department (11176 G Avenue).  Applications for 2009/2010 will be available in July.  Call the Nutrition Services office at (760) 948-1051, or come by their office between 7:30 a.m. and 3:00 p.m.  They will mail the applications, if necessary.

***If you are interested in being a PARENT VOLUNTEER for the 2009/2010 school year, come by and pick-up a form.  When you turn it in, you will need to provide a copy of your drivers license, as well.  Once completed, we will turn the form in to the District. 

***If you are interested in your child attending the After School Activities Program (ASAP) for Krystal, pick one up at Krystal.  Once you have completed the registration packet, you can bring it to Lime Street Park, and give it to the receptionist at the main office.
