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.

Noodle

 

 

Noodle the Golden Doodle is coming to Pepper Drive as a Canine Instructional Assistant. At Pepper Drive, we see the power and motivation in having a support animal on campus. Noodle will be on site with a specific focus. Used as an academic, social emotional, and behavior reward support system, Noodle, with the guidance of a specific adult, will be used to support reading growth, modeling emotions, and rewarding students that are kind, respectful, problem solvers.

If you have a reason you do NOT want your child to participate in the Canine Instructional Assistant Program with Noodle, please email me directly at [email protected]  and we will happily make accommodations.
