Mark Your Calendars for RED RIBBON WEEK 10/27-10/31

Loma Verde is proud to celebrate Red Ribbon Week, a nationwide campaign that promotes drug prevention and healthy lifestyle choices among students through education and school-wide activities.

Our celebration kicks off with an all-school assembly and continues throughout the week with Spirit Days and a variety of engaging activities. This year’s theme is:

Life is a Puzzle. Solve it, Drug Free!

We look forward to a fun and meaningful week as we empower students to make healthy choices and live drug-free lives! Here is a LINK for taking the pledge together with your child.

Red Ribbon Week Pledge:  

I pledge to grow up safe, healthy, and drug-free by:

  1. Understanding the dangers of drug use and abuse
  2. Respecting myself and being drug-free
  3. Spreading the word to family and friends about the importance of being healthy and drug-free

Birthday Celebrations & CVESD Wellness Policy

CVESD has a Wellness Policy: Birthday Celebrations- No celebratory food items will be allowed on school sites during the school day in celebration of a student’s birthday. Please do not make arrangements to give students food items before or after school on the property. Some students have allergies. All it takes is for a student to eat an item with peanuts and they can become very ill in a matter of seconds. Help us keep all Wildcats safe by following the CVESD Wellness Policy.

Please Monitor What Your Child Watches on TV, Videos, and Games

Parents and guardians, you can help build a peaceful school community. Please monitor the videos, shows, and games your child is viewing and playing. Common Sense Media is a great resource for parents to learn parenting tips for the digital age. Acting out or discussing inappropriate content is not permitted at school. Play fighting or simulating a weapon is not allowed at school.

LOMA VERDE SPIRIT GEAR IS FOR SALE!

  • T-shirts: $13
  • Hoodies: $33
    (Cash only at this time)

Students can wear their spirit gear any day of the week or stick with their uniform shirt—either way, they’ll be showing off their Wildcat pride!

📄 Order forms are available in the office or you can click here to access one online.

Let’s fill our campus with school spirit! 🎉
Reminder: Please write your child’s first and last name inside their hoodie to help keep it safe.

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.
