We will always do our best to communicate with our parents and community in a timely manner. Part of our communication efforts are the newsletters we put out monthly. We also want you to be familiar with the Laveen Elementary School District Web site. And since we're a new school, we have a new transportation schedule. Please visit our site often so you'll know more about us and Trailside Elementary's policies.
