• The School Accountability Report Card (SARC) provides parents and the community with important information about each public school.
• Lodi Unified School District’s SARCs are available on the District’s webpage at https://www.lodiusd.net/about/sarcs. If you have questions regarding Lodi Unified’s SARCs or would like to receive a printed copy of a particular school, please contact Accounting at (209) 331-7141.

• The counselors from all of the Comprehensive High Schools will be on our campus on 3/12 and 3/14 for 9th grade scheduling.

• We want to bring your attention to the recent updates in the California Department of Public Health (CDPH) COVID-19 guidelines for K-12 schools. The revised guidance now allows individuals who test positive for COVID-19 but remain asymptomatic to return to work and school without the need to stay home. However, it is crucial to note that students showing symptoms are strongly encouraged to wear masks. As long as students do not have a fever (without taking fever reducing medication) and are only showing mild symptoms, they may return to school as long as they wear a mask. This adjustment in guidelines reflects a more flexible approach to managing the virus, aiming to strike a balance between public health concerns and our evolving understanding of its impact. For additional information, please read updated California Division of Public Health – COVID-19 Isolation Guidance by following this link: https://www.cdph.ca.gov/Programs/CID/DCDC/Pages/COVID-19/COVID-19-Isolation-Guidance.aspx. Your ongoing cooperation is vital in ensuring the safety of our school community.
