Announcements
Climate Survey: Dear Lodi Unified School District Parents and Guardians,
Each year, the district desires to obtain community input to measure parent and family engagement, including how well the district builds relationships between school staff and families, builds partnerships for student outcomes, and seeks input for decision-making. Each year the district collects this information in part using the Parent Climate Survey. This survey also helps determine the allocation of services included in the Local Control Accountability Plan (LCAP), and is used to evaluate the School Plan for Student Achievement (SPSA) for each Title I school site. It is a valuable source of information, and we hope that you take the time to answer thoughtfully. The survey should take about 15 minutes to complete. The survey will be available from December 9th to December 20th. This link will take you to the survey. Your responses will remain anonymous.
Thank you for taking the time to provide us with your feedback!
Attendance: Every day, on time! Please remember that regular, on time attendance is key to your child's academic success. If your child will be absent, notify the schools absence line as soon as possible. Thank you for your continued support!
Uniforms: Your students must continue to wear uniforms throughout the school year. If you are in need of uniform assistance, please contact the office.
Minimum Days: As a reminder, every Wednesday is a minimum day. Students will be dismissed as follows- 1st-3rd 12:35 & 4th-6th- 12:40. Transitional Kindergarten and Kindergarten do not have a different dismissal time, it remains 11:50 year round.
Box Tops for Education: We are a Box Tops for Education school, which can help us earn money for our school. It is an easy way to help us earn money to purchase items and experiences that benefit your student. Check out the two flyers that are linked below for more information.
