• Kanaan Taha took first place in the 6th grade division for the Breakout Project's Art Raab Memorial Essay Competition to celebrate MLK Jr. Day! He has been invited to read his essay at the MLK Jr. Celebration at United Methodist Church in Lodi on Monday, January 20 at noon and will receive a $100 prize!

• More information will be sent out in early January in order to access official transcripts. Please do not contact the office or counselor until after the information is sent for how to access.
• Students may start asking for letters of recommendation. We insist that students ask for the letters, not parents.

• Recently, your 7th/8th grader learned about SchoolLinks, a powerful platform to explore college and career pathways! Parents can access their own accounts by logging in with the same email they use for Aeries. Students will continue using this platform in high school, so now is a great time to get familiar with it.
• We encourage you to explore the platform with your student and remind them to complete the "Find Your Path" and "Would You Rather" assessments as soon as possible. These tools provide valuable insights into their interests and future goals. Keep exploring School Links together for additional tools and resources to support their journey!
• The activities for the month of December are "How to Explore Careers" and "What Learning Style Are You" they should take students around 30 minutes to complete.

Dear Lodi Unified School District Parents and Guardians,

• Each year, the district desires to obtain community input to measure parent and family engagement, including how well the district builds relationships between school staff and families, builds partnerships for student outcomes, and seeks input for decision-making. Each year the district collects this information in part using the Parent Climate Survey. This survey also helps determine the allocation of services included in the Local Control Accountability Plan (LCAP), and is used to evaluate the School Plan for Student Achievement (SPSA) for each Title I school site. It is a valuable source of information, and we hope that you take the time to answer thoughtfully. The survey should take about 15 minutes to complete. The survey will be available from December 9th to December 20th. This link will take you to the survey. Your responses will remain anonymous.

• Thank you for taking the time to provide us with your feedback!

• If you have any questions, contact Uve Dahmen.
