Clairmont Bulldog Families:
We have successfully completed the first week of CAASPP state testing, and our students are off to a fantastic start! Testing will continue this week with a focus on mathematics. As a friendly reminder, please ensure that students arrive on time each day and are seated by 8:00 AM with a fully charged Chromebook.
We are also looking forward to welcoming you to our Open House on Thursday evening at 5:00 PM. During the event, computers will be available for families to register their children for Preschool, Transitional Kindergarten, and Kindergarten. Additionally, our librarian will be accepting cash payments for the 2024–2025 school yearbook.
We appreciate your continued support!
Best,
Ms. Shorter 😃
Student Smartphone Use: 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
