  Contacting Teachers and Staff
  Email is the most efficient way to communicate with teachers and staff. School policy is for teachers and staff to respond within 48 hours (excluding weekends and holidays). Email addresses are as follows: first letter of the first name, last name @chaminade.org. For example, for Robert Jones, the email would be rjones@chaminade.org. Teachers are in classrooms during the day, so if you would like to talk over the phone, email to coordinate a time to talk. For counselors, administrators, and program directors, you could also call our front office at 818-363-8127 from the hours of 8:00-3:30. Our middle school teachers will not see messages sent through the family portal.  
  
  

  Cafeteria and Eagle Card
  Remember to check the balance on Eagle card accounts to make sure you have sufficient funds to purchase items in the cafeteria. Please make sure you do not have a negative balance in your lunch account. IOU’s must be repaid within 1 week.

  Carline Safety 
  Please pick up and drop off your child on our campus. When dropping off and picking up students, note that we have two locations to do so.  Those locations are nearest our gym off of Oakdale and near our upper lawn, which is nearest Devonshire.  For safety purposes, do not pick up or drop off on Oakdale or Devonshire.  Most recently, students have been attempting to cross the street.  Please note that this is not permitted and there is no crosswalk or crossing guard.  

   

  School Hours:  Monday-Friday: 7:00 am-6:00 pm

  Note that when the bell rings at 5:00 pm students need to make their way to the library in order to be picked up.

• Tech Hub

  Welcome to the Tech Hub!
  
  

  Your Tech Hub is in the 200 building across the 8th-grade lawn. We aid with all school laptop-related issues. If the problems cannot be resolved at Tech Hub, we will provide a loaner laptop while the student laptop is being repaired. Loaner laptops have all the same functionality and software as student-issued laptops.
  
  

  Students are expected to start the day with fully charged batteries and bring their Power adapters on campus. If a student forgets their laptop they can ask for a loaner laptop for the day (once per semester). The Tech Hub does not loan out chargers or styluses. The library can provide limited numbers of Battery banks and Temporary chargers that can be checked out for the day if the system needs to be charged. A loaner laptop will be provided if your laptop needs to be sent out for repairs.

  
  We have links below to order replacements if a charger or stylus is lost:
