Lodi USD has released a new Middle School Course Catalog! It includes information about core subjects such as English Language Arts, Math, Science, Social Science, Physical Education, and foreign languages (available at select sites). Please note that elective offerings vary by school, and site staff will provide additional details. The catalog also includes information about A-G requirements to help families understand college and career readiness. While the College/Career Indicator (CCI) and Career Technical Education (CTE) pathways are part of high school, middle school is a great time to start thinking about future opportunities.

Exciting Update: Transition to i-Ready California Mathematics Classroom Edition

We are excited to announce that starting in the 2025-2026 school year, our district will transition from i-Ready Math 2024 to the i-Ready California Mathematics Classroom edition. This new edition is tailored specifically to California standards, featuring updated language aligned with the ELPAC, callouts for California-specific standards, and engaging activities grounded in California contexts. The familiar organization and Try–Discuss–Connect routine from i-Ready Math 2024 will remain, ensuring a smooth transition for teachers and students.

As part of this subscription model, all curriculum updates are included in the price of purchase, so you’ll always have access to the latest resources. Teachers will receive updated Teacher’s Editions along with Student Editions, which are designed to be used for several years—please take good care of them! We are confident this transition will provide an enhanced learning experience for students while supporting teachers in delivering meaningful, standards-aligned instruction. More information about training and implementation will be shared soon. Thank you for your continued dedication to student success!
