School Profile Description:
Calvert Street School is a small Kindergarten through fifth grade school in a quiet community in the West San Fernando Valley. Calvert enjoys a small school environment with about half of the school population coming from the surrounding Woodland Hills neighborhood. Our campus also houses a State Preschool Program with morning and afternoon classes. Calvert has an active PTA and a small group of parents who are intensely involved in trying to improve our school’s physical environment. Calvert staff and parents have written grants to beautify the school and green the campus. Calvert has a native plant area at the front of the school and is in the process of creating a native plant butterfly and vegetable garden through a grant and a partnership with West Valley Occupational Center. Calvert also has a beautiful rose garden which is maintained with the help of the West Valley Garden Club and fifth grade students.
