PERFECT ATTENDANCE FOR THE WEEK!
Congratulations to the following classes for having 100% attendance last week: Navaroli and Snell. Loma Verde’s overall attendance was 97% last week. Our goal is at least 98% every week. Be sure to bring your child to school every day and on time. Every minute of every day counts!
- We have worked hard on bringing down our Chronic Absenteeism rate. Please make sure to read the parent handbook regarding attendance. Our continued goal will be an average daily rate of 98%. Help us make this possible. Students will perfect attendance and no tardies during the 1st quarter will be invited to a special inflatable slide party at school on the last day of the quarter.
- Below are the school calendars for the next two school years. Please consider these dates when planning family trips.
