Parking Lot Reminder:

Families, we appreciate your willingness to help us make pick-up and drop-off as smooth and quick as possible. During pick-up, please continue to PULL ALL THE WAY FORWARD, STAY IN YOUR CAR, and we will call for your child when you arrive. If you arrive early for pick-up, please stay in your car so when the gate opens cars can quickly move out the way.

CALIFORNIA'S DAYLIGHTING LAW AB 413

We are excited to announce our collaboration with the City of Lodi to help raise awareness about California’s new traffic law, AB 413. This legislation introduces important changes at improving road safety and ensuring responsible driving practices across the state.

As a community, it’s vital that we stay informed about laws that impact our daily lives. AB 413 prohibits the stopping, standing, or parking of a vehicle within 20 feet of the vehicle approach side of any marked or unmarked crosswalk or within 15 feet of any crosswalk where a curb extension/bulbout is present, whether or not the curb is painted red. This is a safety measure known as “Daylighting”. Effective January 2025, the rules will be applied whether or not the curb is painted red.

Please use the link below to learn more about California’s new Daylighting Law AB 413.

Concert Video!

Your student performed in a music assembly on December 10. Please see communication from your student's classroom teacher about how to view the recording.

3rd and 4th Grade Recorder!

Your student will be learning to play the soprano recorder in Music Class. If you or your student has a soprano recorder they are encouraged to bring it to music class.

If your child does not have a recorder they can purchase one from me for $6.00. You may send exact cash or check (made out to LUSD). Please put money in an envelope with the student’s name and classroom teacher on the front. Students who purchase a recorder will be allowed to take the instrument home at the conclusion of our unit. The last day to purchase a recorder is January 23. If you choose not to purchase one, your child will be expected to use a school recorder during recorder lessons.

This is always an exciting instrument to learn how to play. The students learn about note reading, breathing and rhythm patterns, which are part of our Classroom Music Curriculum.
