Special Occasion
At Merlinda, homemade food is not acceptable. We only allow store purchased prepackaged food. Parent or teacher's will pass out birthday celebration snacks during the last 20 minutes of class. If you would like to do something special for your child involving food, please take advantage of the school birthday party option catered by the school cafeteria. Your child will love sharing pizza with his/her classmates; plus it’s delicious and very affordable. See the cafeteria manager 3 weeks before your child’s event if you are interested.

Discipline
The West Covina Unified School District has established guidelines regarding disciplinary procedures. If you have concerns, we encourage you to discuss these with your child's teacher, and then if needed, our principal is available to address your concerns. If you want to know about policies on a more general basis, please visit the West Covina United School District site or review the student handbook found under the quick links on the Home page for more information.
