Thank you to all staff for an outstanding week of testing—your efforts helped ensure that students stayed focused and worked hard throughout.

Fourth quarter progress reports will be available at the beginning of May. Please take a moment to review your student’s grades, and if you have any questions or concerns, don’t hesitate to reach out to their counselor: Mrs. Pobre-Dias for 7th grade and Mrs. Newsome for 8th grade.

As we move toward the end of the fourth quarter, let’s continue demonstrating excellent behavior to finish the school year strong. A few important reminders: students are not permitted to use phones or wear earbuds during school hours, pajama pants are not allowed, and arriving to class on time is essential.

Lodi Unified School District Families:

This important update is being shared regarding smartphone use during school in 2025-2026.

Beginning next school year, students will be required to keep their smartphones turned off and stored in their backpacks during the regular school day. This practice, already in place at many of our elementary and middle schools, aligns with Lodi Unified School District’s Board Policy 5131: Student Conduct.

This Board of Education approved change is designed to reduce distractions, support student mental health, minimize instances of cyberbullying and support student academic discourse throughout the school day. Research strongly supports limiting phone use during the school day, and similar policies are being adopted in schools across the state. In fact, California’s Assembly Bill 3216 will require school districts to adopt such policies by July 1, 2026. Please note that exceptions will be made for students with medical needs or accommodations outlined in their IEPs.

We understand that this may change how you communicate with your child during the day, even though they will be able to retrieve messages or return calls at the end of the regular school day. Our school offices are always available to relay important messages, and students can use office phones if needed. In the event of an emergency, it's essential that students stay focused on staff instructions. First responders recommend limiting phone use to ensure safety and clear communication.

We’ll share more information as the school year approaches, but we appreciate your support in preparing your student for this shift. Please take a moment to discuss these expectations with your child.

Thank you for partnering with us to create a safe and focused learning environment

Parents, please remember that the safety of our students, staff, and families is a top priority. We kindly ask for your patience during student pick-up after school. When approaching crosswalks, please wait until all pedestrians have safely reached the sidewalk before making your turn. Thank you for helping us keep everyone safe.

San Joaquin County Public Health Services asks that your school please share this letter to the parents and guardians of all children enrolled in your school to ensure all students do not miss any necessary school days this upcoming school year.

• Students currently in 6th grade who will be entering in the 7th grade next school season.
• Students currently in TK or any child who will be entering into kindergarten this next school season.
• Any newly enrolled students who will be starting school this next school season.
• Any children who are conditionally enrolled and are due for vaccinations.
