City crews recently installed an all-way stop at Century Blvd. and Sage Way. However, city staff and police have observed that some motorists are still not stopping as required. Please continue to have your child cross at Century Blvd. and Mills Ave. during this adjustment period.

There have been reports of impersonated Larson Tik Tok accounts using the school's logo as the profile picture. These are not school affiliated accounts and should be blocked and reported. Please help us keep our students safe online by closely monitoring your student's usage.

In today’s digital age, children are exposed to screens more than ever. Below are research-based insights into how screen time can affect your child’s development, particularly for elementary-aged children. Understanding the effects and setting boundaries is crucial for promoting healthy development.

Below is a link to a PDF that does a great job of explaining our house system and what the core of our school believes in engaging our students in a high quality education.

"The goal of the Larson House System and The Great 28 is to encourage a supportive and engaging environment for our students. Studies show that schools with house systems have happier, more engaged students and have more school spirit than they did before a house system was implemented."

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.
