6th grade Middle School Updates
Course Catalog- 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.

Lodi Middle Becoming A Viking Assembly
Thursday, February 27th, from 9:20-10:50 our 6th graders will be walking to Lodi Middle to attend a Becoming A Viking Assembly. Students will meet the administration team, counselors, and student leadership as well as tour around campus.
Additionally, Parent Orientation/GATE Night will be held on February 27th as well. GATE parent night starts 5:30. Parent Orientation starts at 6:00.
Check on your child's vaccines. 7th graders are required to have an additional vaccine (Tdap) and are not able to start school without it. Consider scheduling that appointment soon to ensure your child can start school on the first day.
