Spring Break - Week Two

Are you out of ideas to keep your student busy - check out these!

* Create an indoor fort

Young siblings can have a blast with one another using pillows and blankets to make a fort that they can play in all day. This activity allows kids to be creative and imaginative while also working together and honing their teamwork skills.

* Put on a fashion show

Students can enjoy playing dress-up and practicing “strutting their stuff” down their makeshift runway. It’s also a great opportunity for parents to capture memorable moments through pictures and videos, and store memories in their hearts to last a lifetime.

* Complete arts-and-crafts activities

With so many options available, students can be as creative and innovative as they want. Whether it’s painting, making cards for friends and loved ones, making friendship bracelets, making popsicle-stick picture frames, or a variety of other crafty activities, kids can have fun while also creating works of art that make them proud and excited to keep for themselves or gift to others.

* Write stories or thank-you notes

This activity can be for students of all ages and helps keep them engaged all while improving their writing skills outside of the classroom. Kids can be asked to write stories and read them to the family at the end of the day, or they can write thank-you notes to friends, family members, teachers, USPS workers, firefighters, police officers, and other individuals in the community. It helps students understand the importance of communication as well as showing gratitude to the people in their lives.

* Create an obstacle course or family Olympics games

These activities can be done inside or outside, depending on the weather and what is best for the family.. If adults are able to participate, it can add to the level of fun and excitement for their kids. This can also be enjoyable for students of all ages and allows young kids and teenagers alike to be active and creative all while spending time together as a family.

Go Otters!

At dismissal, please wait in line. We move the cars forward as quickly as possible and at times cars are directed by staff to pull in front of other cars in order to keep things moving. To ensure the safety of everyone, follow the directions of the staff out on dismissal duty. Please, do not try to move in front of other cars unless you are directed to do so. Thanks!

Over spring break, all items left in the school's Lost and Found will be donated to Goodwill. If your child is missing clothes, I encourage you to stop by and take a look.

The PTO is looking for volunteers for next years PTO Board. The PTO Board works to support the school in a variety of ways from volunteering, helping to provide supplies and support events/activities throughout the year. The commitment is an 1 hour a month but makes an incredible impact on what we can accomplish at our school.

Be on the look out for the volunteer link or the paper flyer that will be sent home when we return from Spring Break.

We will meet in April to discuss the first draft of the school plan.

Next meeting to be announced.

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.
