Arroyo Upper Elementary

Cellphones and smartwatches are not permitted to be used on campus. Students should keep them off and in their backpacks during the school day. If a student needs to reach a parent or guardian, or vice versa, we will use the school phones: 650-632-8300. Please create a contact for Arroyo on your own phones so you recognize us if we call you. Thank you!

School starts at 8:35 a.m., with dismissal at 3:10 p.m. every day but Wednesday, when early release is at 1:00 p.m. Note that this is a change from previous years, when Wednesday dismissal was 10 minutes earlier. Click the link above for the times of recess, lunch, electives, etc.

4th and 5th graders are beyond pre-K-3rd learners, but they don’t yet have the adolescent development needs of middle school learners. During this learning stage, students are strengthening their cognitive, social, emotional and physical development. Upper Elementary schools support this age group by being designed with flexibility and collaboration in mind; including physical challenges and opportunities; and developing leadership skills so students can explore in service to the school and community.
