Principal's Message
Dear Parents/Guardians,
We hope this message finds you well. As we continue through the school year, we want to emphasize the importance of regular attendance for your child’s academic success. Every school day is an opportunity for learning, growth, and building essential skills.
Missing just a few days of school can add up quickly and impact your child's ability to keep up with lessons, participate in class activities, and develop good habits for the future. Being present every day helps students stay on track and feel more connected to their classmates and teachers.
We understand that sometimes absences are unavoidable due to illness or emergencies. If your child must be absent, please communicate with the school and encourage them to catch up on missed work. Let’s work together to ensure that every student has the best opportunity to succeed!
Thank you for your support in making attendance a priority. If you have any questions or need assistance, please feel free to reach out.
Best regards,
Mrs. Herrera
Principal

California's Statewide Assessments
Dear Lodi USD Parent/Guardians,
Every year, California students take several statewide tests. When combined with other measures such as grades, class work, and teacher observations, these tests give families and teachers a more complete picture of their child’s learning. You can use the results to identify where your child is doing well and where they might need more support. Your child may be taking one or more of the following:
- California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress (CAASPP)
- English Language Proficiency Assessments for California (ELPAC)
- Physical Fitness Test (PFT)
To see the full information on the above assessments, please visit our Assessment, Research, and Evaluation (ARE) Department website. Please select the Annual Notification of Testing, 2024-2025 link.
