Principal's Message
Dear ORCA Families,
We are now in our third week back from Winter Break, we want to take a moment to emphasize the importance of consistent school attendance. Regular attendance is crucial for your child’s academic success and helps them build routines, engage with their peers, and make the most of their learning opportunities. Every day counts!
We’re also excited to share that our 100th Day of School is coming up on Tuesday, January 21! To celebrate this milestone, we would love for the students to showcase their creativity by dressing up as a 100-year-old person. It’s a fun way to mark the day and we look forward to seeing their imaginative outfits!
Thank you for your support and for ensuring that your child attends school every day. Let’s make the 100th day a memorable one!
Best regards,
Mrs. Herrera
Principal

By regularly discussing these guidelines with your child and demonstrating these behaviors, you can help them understand the importance of being a safe, responsible, and engaged member of our school community.
Together, we can ensure that Wagner-Holt continues to be a positive environment for learning and growth. Thank you for being an essential part of our ORCA family!

Responsible & Respectful
- Be mindful of quiet zones to respect the learning environment.
- Walk directly to approved locations to avoid disruptions.
- Stay on appropriate paths to keep the campus safe and orderly.

Dismissal in Front of our School
Dear Parents,
To ensure a smooth and safe drop-off and pick-up experience for all, we kindly ask you to follow these protocols:
- Parking: If you are waiting to pick up your child, please park your car. This helps maintain the flow of traffic and avoids congestion.
- No Blocking: Please do not block the handicap parking spaces or stand on the driveway, as these areas need to remain accessible at all times.
- Pick-Up Location: Wait for your child on the sidewalk by the main gate.
Thank you for your cooperation and helping us create a safe and efficient environment for everyone.
Handicap Parking Zone
Dear Parents,
We kindly remind everyone to avoid blocking the handicap parking zone in front of the school. These spaces are reserved for individuals with proper permits and ensure accessibility for those who need it most.
Thank you for your cooperation in keeping our parking areas accessible and safe for everyone.
Dismissal on Waudman Avenue
As we continue into the second quarter, we want to emphasize the importance of safety for all our students. We’ve observed some students crossing Waudman Avenue outside of designated crosswalks while rushing to their vehicles.
Ensuring the safety of your child remains our top priority. We kindly ask you to encourage your child to use the crosswalks and avoid jaywalking, as it significantly reduces safety risks.
Thank you for your cooperation in creating a safer school environment.
Everyday Counts Attendance
Every school day is a chance for your child to grow, learn, and shine! 🎉 Each day is packed with fun lessons and activities that help build important skills and knowledge. When they’re in class, they’re making big strides toward success and staying on track in their learning journey.
Let’s keep teaming up to make every day an amazing one for our students! Thank you for being such a fantastic part of their educational adventure—we couldn’t do it without you! 😊✨

California's Daylighting Law (K-12)
CALIFORNIA'S DAYLIGHTING LAW AB 413
Lodi Unified is excited to announce their 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.
