Congratulations to Roman, our fabulous Needham Knight Spelling Bee winner!

Thank you for representing our school by competing in the LUSD Spelling Bee!

Roman and I traveled to Vinewood Elementary School on Friday, November 8th where she joined

students from many other Lodi schools for the Lodi Unified School District Spelling Bee.

Although Roman will not be moving forward to the San Joaquin County Spelling Bee, she did an amazing job at the LUSD Spelling Bee and we are all incredibly proud of her!

Way to go, Roman!

Sending all of our Needham Knights Peace and Blessings

Sonja Renhult, Principal

So far, we have only had 3 parents nominate themselves to serve on our ELAC committee. We are really hoping to get at least 5-10 members for ELAC. Will you please consider helping Clyde W Needham with this?

Would you like to be a member of ELAC? - Please nominate yourself by filling out the ELAC Nomination Form

Our ELAC (English Learner Advisory Committee) is an important part of our school community. The members of ELAC give suggestions to the school and the School Site Council for how to best serve the needs or our English Learner students. Currently, 68% of our student population are English learner students.

We desperately need parents to participate in ELAC. Last school year, our ELAC meetings were very poorly attended. I am hoping to increase attendance this year to at least 5 members. Of these 5 members, 4 of them MUST be parents of English Learners that attend CW Needham and 1 may be any parent or community member.
