Wednesday is an early release day. ALL 1st - 6th grade students will be dismissed at 1:10pm. PM Kinders will follow the AM schedule and will be dismissed at 12:10.

I am excited to announce the location of this year's mystery trip. REMEMBER - THIS IS STILL A SECRET. We will not tell students until we get on the bus. This trip would not be possible without the support of the Raymus Foundation.

We are taking our students to the Museum of Science and Curiosity in Sacramento. This is a hands on museum with learning labs and a planetarium! Lunch will be hosted by the Curiosity Cafe in the museum.

For our parent volunteers - Please arrive with your student at 8:30. We will meet in the cafeteria to discuss logistics, meals, schedules and support. It is going to be a memorable experience!

Students who are not attending the field trip - There is still school. We have teachers staying behind and we have activities prepared for them. This is still a school day.

Thank you for helping us provide this amazing experience.

Go Otters!

Mrs. Horton

Last Wednesday we practiced our lockdown drill. This was monitored by a district consultant. Students performed well. Our hope is to never need to put this practice into action, but with practice we will know how to respond and keep everyone safe.

The PTO met this past week and is in the process of planning the Autism Awareness Week, Read Across American and Rotary Readers. Be on the look out for a survey asking what time is good for PTO Meetings in order to be more accessible for families to participate. Also if babysitting is holding you back - we are looking into making this available so you can meet with us. If you are interested in getting involved please call Mrs. Horton.

Next meeting will be March 4 at 3:00.

Our next meeting will be in March. All are welcome to join our meeting.

Next meeting to be announced.

New this year is our first-ever art competition, "Junkyard Masterpieces", sponsored by Cal-Waste. Students Pre-K through 12 are invited to create collages and/or sculptures from recycled and reused materials that will be showcased at the festival. All of the information regarding this competition is in the attached flyer and in this folder Art Show Poster & Submission Files.

We are asking teachers to help promote our competition by either making it a class assignment or simply encouraging students to get creative and send in their submissions. Submissions can be either dropped off in person in the Lodi High School Library or sent via district mail to “Lodi High-Library”.

Thank you for all you already do promoting STEAM in your classrooms!

If you have any questions, contact Elizabeth Wright.

You can now view your child’s immunizations online through the AERIES portal. The items in red show the shots that are missing.

We are excited to inform you that your children have recently completed reading and math diagnostics through i-Ready, an adaptive assessment program by Curriculum Associates. These diagnostics are designed to identify your child's strengths and areas for growth in these crucial subjects. We believe that this valuable data will help us tailor our instructional approach to better support your child's academic journey.
