Parent Input for 24-25 school year 📝
If you have input that will be considered regarding your child’s learning environment, you may provide information to administration using the “Special Considerations” form located in the front office of LCM. Parents will be able to provide input on Academic Consideration and/or Behavior Consideration. We will consider your child’s needs and place them in what we believe is the best environment. Please note that forms with names of teachers will not be reviewed, as we will NOT consider specific teacher requests.
Once completed, forms can be turned into the front office of LCM. Special considerations form will be available from May 20 - May 31.

💦 5th Grade Presentation at Vallecitos Water District Board Meeting 💦
Huge shout out to 5th grade students who presented and showed support towards their fellow peers at the Vallecitos Water District Board Meeting on Wednesday, May 15th. This year at LCM, students experienced a hands-on science unit called the Water Resource Management Program. The curriculum was sponsored by the Vallecitos Water District (provider of water to LCM) and created by Poseidon Education. Students learned about water management, water agencies, drinking water, wastewater, stormwater, and reclaimed water. Wednesday night at the board meeting, students identified problems with water usage and management at LCM and recommended potential solutions.
As Ms. Pruim stated, "Students were well-spoken, poised, informative, and professional. They exemplified everything the SMUSD Portrait of a Graduate stands for." Thank you Vallecitos Water District, 5th grade students and teachers at LCM!
