Dear Loma Verde Families,

We’re already in Week 12, and there’s so much exciting learning happening across campus! Thank you for your continued support—strong attendance is essential for student success, and we truly appreciate your efforts to ensure your child is present and ready to learn each day.

A big thank you to all the families who joined us for our Family BBQ last week—what a fantastic turnout with 120 parents and guardians participating! It was a joyful afternoon filled with connection, learning, and fun.

As we move through the second quarter, things get even busier with many engaging activities and events. To stay informed, we encourage you to check our school blog regularly at lomaverdewildcats.org for updates and announcements.

We also invite all families to get involved—whether it’s attending a parent meeting, joining a training session, or participating in one of our upcoming family events. Your involvement strengthens our community, and we love partnering with you to support our students.

Students are welcome to wear costumes to school! Please follow these guidelines when selecting a costume:

  • No blood, gore, or graphic elements.
  • No fake weapons (guns, swords, knives, etc.) or anything resembling a weapon.
  • Costumes must be manageable without adult assistance.
  • If you’re unsure whether a costume is appropriate, ask your teacher for guidance.

🎭 Students participating in the parade should arrive at school in costume and remain in costume throughout the day.
📚 Students who choose not to participate will be supervised in the library.

Gently Used Uniforms Needed

Has your child outgrown their school uniform from last year? The Loma Verde Health Office needs donations of clean uniform clothes to have on hand for children who need to change clothes. If you have any clean children’s uniform shirts, shorts, pants, or skirts that you no longer need, please bring them to the health office.

Important School Policies and Reminders

  • 📘 Stay Informed Click on the LV 2025–26 Parent-Student Handbook for everything you need to know about school policies, procedures, and resources.
  • Uniform Policy: Students must wear their school uniform daily unless a Uniform Waiver has been submitted to the office.
  • Toys and Electronics: Students should not bring toys, cards, or unnecessary gadgets unless they have been approved by the classroom teacher.
  • Water Bottles: Please only send plain water in student water bottles. No Gatorade, Prime, juice, etc., as these beverages stain carpets and attract pests. We have a new bottle filler located next to room 406, which can be used to fill water bottles.
  • Food Sharing: No sharing of food is allowed.
  • No Gum or Candy: Please ensure that students do not bring gum or candy to school.
  • Label Personal Items: Be sure to label lunch boxes, water bottles, and sweaters with your child’s name to help ensure they are returned if misplaced.

REMINDER: Students need to be at school every day, arrive on time (before 8:00 a.m.), and stay in school for the entire day.
