El Rincon

Join the El Rincon Walk to School Days! Help your child’s class walk their way to victory!

Next Walk to School Day: February 7

Traffic at El Rincon 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 Rincon presents a monthly Walk to Day School Day. Beginning Wednesday October 4 and continuing each First Wednesday 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 Panera Bread (on Sepulveda, near Pavilions) and Kinston/Flaxton.

Have to drive? No problem. Please park 3 blocks away and ease the traffic at E lRincon. There is ample parking in the neighborhoods to the South (on Vera and Malat  or Kinston off Overland.

Volunteers Needed! If you are available to assist with walk to school days (guiding kids, tracking participants, promoting), we need you! Please contact Kindra Kelly-Sumpia for more info.

We encourage parents to take the 3 Block Challenge by parking and walking 3 blocks to school at least once a week. Use the map here to find areas to park and walk and recommended routes to school. There is plenty of street parking (highlighted in purple on streets like Vera, and streets south of Vera: Stevens, Malat for example. Plus there is convenient off street parking at US Bank (Sepulveda/Sawtelle), near Pavilions or the Westfield Fox Hills  parking lot.

Parking just a few blocks away goes a long way towards reducing traffic and pollution around El Rincon while adding some extra activity to your child’s day and you’ll come to love the extra few minutes of car-free time with your little ones.
