Parent Information
Aeries Parent Portal - Data Confirmation
Let's start with critical information:
It's critical to log on to Aeries Parent Portal to complete the Data Confirmation for the following reasons:
1. It ensures your child's information is accurate so Lodi USD can properly communicate with parents, track student progress, and help keep your child safe.
2. Each child whose account is updated raises money for our school!
3. Parents are informed of schedules and school information.
4. Confirm low income status to be eligible to receive $120 in Sunbucks the following summer.
Thank you to each of you for completing the process for each Lodi USD child!

Safety
Parents on Campus
Parent of 1st graders and new students will be allowed to enter campus on the first day so you know where your child's class is located. All other returning students will be directed by support staff.
All visitors ring the front office door bell. Students are trained not to open the door for adults, as it is the responsibility of our staff to determine when/if someone belongs on campus.
Parent concerns regarding someone else's child is to be brought to school administration. It is not appropriate to approach another child to address a concern.
Parking Lot Congestion
Congestion at pick-up time relieves quickly. The few minutes requires patience and slow, safe speeds.
