We are TIGERs!
We show Teamwork Integrity Goals Empathy Responsibility
Pepper Drive School was built in 1957. Nestled between El Cajon and Santee, our school has a well-established and supportive community. The long-standing traditions like Spring Festival are balanced with contemporary experiences like classroom community circles, PTA’s Pastries with Parents, and the TIGER expectations.
Our mission is to develop imaginative, independent and responsible individuals who think critically and collaborate to make intentional contributions to positively impact our school and the global community.
Welcome Kindergarten Families!
Hello to all the families of our incoming kindergarten students and welcome to Pepper Drive. 🐯 We cannot wait to meet our newest Kinder Cubs!
We would like to invite kindergarten families (not TK) to pick a half hour time slot on Wednesday August 14th, 2024, to bring your tiny scholar to Pepper Drive for an informal assessment. You should have received an email to sign up for a time slot. If you did not receive an email, please email Ms. Dawson at
[email protected] . TK Families DO NOT need assessment times. TK is not assessed before school begins.
Our kindergarten readiness assessment is a relaxed test of skills that are important for kindergarten. We want your child to show off their abilities in a quick 30-minute classroom setting. We can't wait to learn about your child's interests, challenges and strengths so we can best support his/her unique needs. This is also a great opportunity to allow for a brief introduction of teachers to ease any anxious students.
TK AND Kindergarten: Please Plan to join us for our TK and K Orientation Night on August 19th at 5:30pm. This is a great opportunity to walk your child to his/her classroom, meet the teacher, and create some familiarity for your child BEFORE the first days of school. Something to know, TK and K students do not bring a backpack to school. We will provide a very special bag for them to tote their belongings to and from school. We have plenty in case it should become ruined or lost. If you are interested in purchasing other supplies, feel free to visit our website for guidance at
