El Marino Language School
Join the El Marino Walk to School Days and help your child’s class walk their way to victory!
Next Walk to School Day: February 2
Traffic at El Marino can be challenging, so we encourage families to walk or bike to school when possible. A short walk to school will benefit you, your children, your school and your community. Plus the extra one-on-one time is extra special.
To help make this fun and easy, El Marino presents a monthly Walk to Day School Day. Beginning Friday October 6 and continuing each First Friday thereafter, families can participate by joining a meetup group or walk on their own. Participating students will be have their “shoe tags” scanned and help their class to victory! Meetup sites are at US Bank (Sepulveda/Sawtelle), the Sawtelle Bridge and Port/Emporia.
Have to drive? No problem. Please park 3 blocks away and ease the traffic at El Marino. There is ample parking in the neighborhoods around the school, along Berryman, Patom, Culver Park or off MacDonald for example

There is plenty of street parking (highlighted in purple) on streets like McDonald, Sawtelle, Berryman (East of Patom).
Parking just a few blocks away goes a long way towards reducing traffic and pollution around El Marino while adding some extra activity to your child’s day, plus you’ll come to love those extra few minutes of car-free timew with your little one.
